Kilgetty Golf Society: At Glynhir Golf Club

AFTER having played Glynhir Golf Club on the warmest day for 10 years, a number of Trefloyne GC seniors joined other Kilgetty Society players at the scenic course near Ammanford, praying they would not melt this time.

However, the question actually posed last Wednesday (Aug 10) was would it or would it not rain?

The group were fortunate and the heavens didn’t open up, and 25 golfers had a very enjoyable day aided by the generous sponsorship of Station Garage, Kilgetty, Hyundai Dealers.

Led off by Wayne Connett, Paul Marsden, and Roger Woodward, the eight groups proceeded to cut up the course. Well, we can’t all be perfect!

Wayne et al managed to do better than most; in fact, they won the team prize with a score of 101, with Paul managing third place with 36 points. Next, Bob Forrest, Keith Leverton, and Simon Millett couldn’t get anywhere near this, accumulating only 77 points between them.

Even worse were Rob Nixon, John Perrott, and Allan Gawith with 69, although Rob managed to claim Longest Drive whilst John added to his collection of wooden spoons. Fourth off, Darrell Willington, Dave Green, and John James arrested the decline but not by much – 83 points, matched by the next group of Mike Skidmore, John Williams, and Wynne Richards.

But then came Tom Woods, Graham Longster, and Anthony Ryan who came within a point of Wayne’s group, with Tom playing out of his skin – 37 points and second place! Seventh off, Steve Jones, Kelvin Boughey, and John Richards tried to overtake the leading group but didn’t quite get there despite Steve scoring 38 points to take the Green Jacket, benefiting as he did from a high handicap after years of failure!

So only the four ball of Roger Handcock, Wyn Hopkins, Barry Neale, and Ian Gregson were left. They were indeed left behind, miles behind in time and score. Their only claim to fame waw Wyn with the last shot to the 13th green winning Nearest the Pin, while Wayne, with the first shot to the green and the previous closest, watched on in dismay! Hard Luck, boyo.

After an excellent meal, Steve awarded himself first prize and reluctantly took the Green Jacket.

Previously unmentioned awards went to the Keith with the only two of the day, and to Roger Woodward who won the 20+ handicapper prize despite being buggyless!

The group gave their thanks to all for coming and to their sponsors. The next event will be held on September 14 at Priskilly Golf Club. More information can be found at www.kilgettygolf.co.uk.

Cwmamman United stun Tenby AFC in an unforgettable 3-3 thriller to reach the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup

Cwmamman Utd 3 Tenby AFC 3 (Cwm win 3–2 on pens)

AN EXTRAORDINARY cup tie unfolded at Grenig Park as Cwmamman United and Tenby AFC shared a breathless 3-3 draw, before the hosts edged through 3–2 on penalties.

Tenby struck almost instantly, with Lloyd Hughes finding the net inside the opening minute. Cwm hit back on 14 minutes when Cam Isaac produced a superb finish to level the tie, but Joe Leahy restored Tenby’s lead before the break – a goal that for long spells looked like it might settle the contest.

Deep into stoppage time, however, Cwmamman refused to accept defeat. In the 100th minute, Jackson Brereton pounced to smash home an equaliser and force extra time.

The drama only intensified. Tenby were awarded a hotly disputed penalty in the 114th minute, converted confidently by Hughes. The spot-kick also saw Cwm’s Kieran Rees – who had been excellent alongside Kai O’Donnell at the heart of the defence – shown a red card.

But with virtually the last kick of the game, Cwm’s goalkeeper Kai Rees strode forward for a final desperate attack and unleashed a stunning 25-yard volley to make it 3-3, sparking wild celebrations around the ground.

Rees was far from finished. In the decisive shootout, he produced two superb saves to secure a 3–2 penalty win and send Cwmamman United into the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup.
