In session one, Rory Andrews 400 IM swam enabled him to get a Silver medal whilst Jayden took Bronze just behind Rory. Lauren Omnet took another Bronze medal for PCS, whilst sixteen year old Rhys Davies had the same colour medal in the 50m butterfly.

Session two started the boys 100m backstroke and Rhys took hold Gold medal, followed by Abbey Williams getting a silver medal in the 50m backstroke.

In the 200m freestyle, Rory Andrews smashed a personal best of 2:25.6 to get a bronze medal, as the excitement built for the girls 200m IM Bethan Jones gained a silver medal to be pipped by her Pembroke and District team mate Abbey Williams to the Gold medal. In the last event of the afternoon session seventeen year old Tom Webb rounded off the medal haul with gold in the 50m breast stroke.

The evening session began with Bethan Jones taking a bronze medal in the 100m butterfly, Abbey Williams got another Silver medal in the 200m backstroke and Webb Gold in the 100 breast stroke. The second last event of the day was the100m freestyle where Abbey Williams finished her day off with a by winning Bronze and 12-year-old Lotty Whalley getting a Gold medal. Webb couldn’t secure his third gold of the day taking home a silver medal in the 50m freestyle.

Day two began with Rory Andrews compete in his second 400m event of the weekend winning yet another Bronze medal, this time in the freestyle. In the 400 IM Bethan Jones got herself a bronze medal and was pipped once again by Abbey Williams who took the Silver medal. In the 200m breast stroke Henry White won a Bronze medal as did Rory Andrews before Tom Webb delivered his third gold medal, all in the breast stroke.

The final event of the morning was the 50m butterfly where Bethan Jones got her hands on the Gold medal after Webb delivered his fourth gold of the weekend in the 200 Individual Medley and Abbey Williams got the same colour medal in the 50m breast stroke.

In the final session of an exhausting weekend, it was fitting that Abbey Williams got another Gold medal, this time in the 50m freestyle and with it secured the prize of being the top performing girl [13-14 age group].

Unsurprisingly Tom Webb, of Haverfordwest Seals won the best performing boy, in the Open category whilst his ‘Seals’ team mate Rory Andrews finished as the third best boy in the 11-12 age category and is certainly one to watch in the future.

Cup final dream slips away as Newcastle Emlyn battle back to seal 20-19 win in windy Carmarthenshire Cup clash

AMMAN UNITED YOUTH saw their Carmarthenshire Cup final hopes ended in heartbreaking fashion on Saturday (Apr 4) as Newcastle Emlyn snatched a 20-19 victory in a dramatic semi-final.

Played in difficult, windy conditions, the contest was fiercely competitive throughout, with Amman left to rue a series of handling errors that allowed the visitors back into the game.

Newcastle Emlyn made the stronger start, taking an early 3-0 lead through a penalty and then missing a chance to add to their tally.

Amman responded well and took control of the first half. Captain Ceian Lewis crossed following a well-worked catch-and-drive to put his side 5-3 in front. Toby Slater then produced an excellent touchline conversion in tough conditions to extend the lead to 7-3.

Amman continued to build momentum when Harvey Duncan made a sharp break down the wing to score their second try. Slater was again on target with an impressive conversion in the wind, giving his side a 14-3 lead at the break.

But the game turned soon after the restart. A costly Amman mistake allowed Newcastle Emlyn back into the contest, with the visitors scoring in the corner before adding the conversion to close the gap to 14-10.

Amman appeared to have steadied themselves when Kelston Fairhurst powered over from another catch-and-drive, stretching the lead to 19-10.

However, Newcastle Emlyn refused to give in. Strong forward play brought them another try, and the conversion cut the deficit to just two points at 19-17 as the pressure mounted in the closing stages.

The decisive moment came in the final five minutes when another Amman handling error handed Emlyn a crucial opportunity. The visitors worked their way into range and slotted a late penalty to edge ahead 20-19.

Amman had one final chance to rescue the game and opted for a catch-and-drive from a late penalty, having already found success with that tactic earlier in the match. This time, though, Newcastle Emlyn held firm to deny them and secure their place in the final.

It was a bitter end for Amman United Youth, who had looked in control at half-time, but Newcastle Emlyn showed resilience and composure when it mattered most.
