League 2 West

Pontyberem 5

Tenby United 53

TENBY UNITED are celebrating after they thumped Pontyberem 53-5 to win the League 2 West title on Saturday (May 6).

The Seasiders went in to the game knowing they had secured promotion but were keen to finish the season in style by claiming the title.

Pontyberem had also won their previous four matches and the Seasiders knew they would be in for a tough afternoon despite beating them 57-19 at Heywood Lane earlier in the season.

However, they were very rarely troubled against a Pontyberem side who sat in mid-table with little to play for in their final game of the season.

Tenby held a 27-0 lead at the break and they continued to dominate in the second half to come away with an emphatic win.

They went ahead with a well worked try which was scored by Luke Hansford and Ashley Sutton then added the extra two points.

Andrew Cook then went over for Tenby’s second try which was also converted by Sutton.

Luke Dedman put Tenby in an even better position as he scored their third try of the game and Sutton converted for a 21-0 lead.

Sutton also added two penalties to give them an emphatic lead at the break and Tenby knew they were half way to claiming the title.

They continued to pile the pressure on in the second half and it wasn’t long before they scored their fourth try to give them a bonus point. Johnny Morgan broke through to score but the conversion attempt was missed.

Jack Guerreiro then claimed the first of two tries as Tenby continued to play well.

Ryan Morgan grabbed a consolation try for Pontyberem but that was as good as it got for the home side as the conversion was missed and Guerreiro powered over for his second try moments later.

Sutton then scored a try of his own and he completed the victory with the conversion to put the seal on a memorable title-clinching victory.

It has been a fantastic season for Tenby who finished with just four defeats to their name and with an excellent 16 wins.

The Seasiders will look to make their season even more memorable on Friday (May 12) when they take on Aberystwyth in the final of the Pembs KO Cup, kick off at 6:45pm in Crymych.

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.
