John’s miracle at the Cathedral City

Winner: John Richards in the Infamous Green Jacket
18 KILGETTY SOCIETY members hung on every word of Tuesday, December 13’s weather forecast for Wednesday, December 14, and every word uttered by Derek Brockway and his ilk spelled heavy rain.
So, it therefore naturally followed that there was a pleasant dry winter’s day at St Davids Golf Course.
St Davids Golf Course is set in a divine lo cation, overlooking Whitesands Bay with Skomer Island in the distance.
Thus it proved to be an inspiration for John Richards who, with 36 points, smited the flock of other golfers in his path.
With his trusty apostles Dave Green and Tom Woods, they graciously swept to the team prize ahead of others who laboured in vain.
Among the lost souls were Nigel Taylor, Barry Neale, and Roger Handcock; albeit Roger benefited from some divine intervention by coming in third with 35 points. Next, Ian Gregson, who was playing in his own parish, joined Rob Nixon and Steve Rigby.
Whilst local knowledge didn’t assist Ian, Rob managed to garner 35 points to be placed second –a confirmation of his recent ascent to the top table. Next to sacrifice themselves on this little piece of heaven on earth were Steve Jones, Keith Leverton, and Peter Hughes, fresh from his role as a good Samaritan to his wife.
Praying for a miracle were Mike Skidmore, Bob Forrest, and Kevin Dyer, a new believer in the society.
Unfortunately, their prayers were not heard. Neither were those of the last group – Kelvin Boughey, Allan Gawith, and Martin Davies – who were also cast asunder, with Curtains once again clutching a wooden carving in the likeness of a spoon for his efforts.
As the first drops of rain fell from the heavens, there was a mass exodus to the Grove Hotel in St Davids where excellent sustenance was to be had. Steve presented the accolades including Nearest the Pin (Allan), Longest Drive (Rob), 20+ Handicap (Tom), and Team (Dave, Tom and John).

Clubs event inspires girls to try new sports
MORE than 50 young people took part in a multi-sport taster event designed to encourage girls to get involved in new activities.
The Sport Pembrokeshire Community Clubs event was held at Fishguard Leisure Centre on Sunday (Dec 1) for pupils from Ysgol Bro Gwaun and its feeder schools, with sponsorship from Valero.
Local sports clubs and activity providers offered a wide range of sessions, including cricket, self-defence, rowing, dance, hockey, tennis, table tennis, rugby and basketball. Water for participants was kindly provided by Princes Gate.
Young Ambassadors from Ysgol Bro Gwaun also played a key role in helping the event run smoothly.
Dan Bellis, of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “It was a fantastic evening and it was brilliant to see so many young people and coaches in attendance.
“There was a wide range of activities on offer and everyone clearly enjoyed themselves.
“We hope the girls who took part have discovered a new sport or activity and will continue their involvement with the local clubs and providers who supported the event.”

Keeper scores 121st-minute wonder goal before saving two penalties
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.
