AFTER last week’s win, Milford wanted to continue their form and add another three points to the table, and did so producing a sterling performance on Saturday (Oct 29) to beat visitors Gwernyfed 13-0.

The home side failed to convert early opportunities as they created chances from the start.

After the first 15 minutes, it looked like it was going to be one of those days where they could never find the backboard.

Sustained pressure from the home side took its toll and they gained the lead midway through the first half as Steph Layton slotted home from close range.

Goals came at regular intervals after the initial break through as Milford moved the ball well and over ran the visitors defence, adding a further five goals before the break.

Elyse Morgan, Meg Jones and a first half hat trick from Rachel Coe realistically left Gwernyfed with no way back.

With momentum in the home side’s favour, the second half was much the same as the first as they started strongly and extended the lead early on despite losing talented teenager Meg Jones to a head injury.

Milford then turned the screw, showing good skill and fitness levels to outclass Gwernyfed, although credit goes to the visiting goalkeeper, who made some superb saves.

There was very little to do defence-wise for the home side but the backs linked well with the forwards, keeping the pressure on the visitors, resulting in an additional seven goals in the second period.

Rachel Coe completed a double hat trick, assisted with goals from Charlotte Davies, Meg Evans and two from Elyse Morgan, to complete her third hat trick in three games.

It was an excellent performance by the squad and they will be pleased to pick up three points. Milford could easily have taken their foot off the gas and got complacent at half time but showed good attitude and commitment throughout the game.

Squad: Emma Summons Capt, Yasmin Riggs, Vicki John, Kate Farr, Jane Jordan, Meg Evans, Charlotte Davies, Rachel Coe, Elyse Morgan, Steph Layton, Jess Barrett, Meg Jones, Danielle Pitcher-Schofield.

The club would like to thank their match sponsor, Brenda Taylor.

Milford’s next game takes place on Saturday (Nov 5) away to Cardiff Met.

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.
