Trostre have endured a difficult start to their season and have two wins, two draws and three defeats to their name so far in the league.

In their last league game they drew 1-1 with leaders Loughor and they will still provide a tough test for the Wizards.

Pembrokeshire league Champions Hakin United will also be looking to make it through but standing in their way will be Carmarthenshire side Seaside.

Hakin have played only six games in the league so far this season but have won five of them and they also beat Carmarthenshire side Dafen in the last round.

The Rooks have won four of their nine league games so far this season but also held Merlins Bridge to a 3-3 draw and they will be keen to beat their Carmarthenshire opponents.

Evans and Williams also have four wins to their name so far this season and come into this game with confidence after a 2-0 win away to Pontlliw in their last game.

Bwlch, who are currently unbeaten so far this season, face a tough test as they travel to former finalists Morriston Olympic.

Carmarthenshire League leaders Loughor Rovers are at home and they take on Swansea side Maltsters Sports.

THE FINALISTS for this year’s Sport Pembrokeshire Awards have been revealed, with 39 individuals and clubs shortlisted for honours at the annual celebration of local sporting achievement.

Cllr Rhys Sinnett, Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, said: “A big thank you to everyone who sent in nominations. The judging panel had an extremely tough task narrowing down such a strong field of candidates.

“Pembrokeshire continues to punch above its weight when it comes to sporting prowess, and I’m sure the awards will once again showcase both on-field success and the incredible efforts of the volunteers and coaches who make it all possible.”

The winners will be unveiled at a gala ceremony at Folly Farm on November 28, organised by Sport Pembrokeshire.

The event is sponsored by Valero, Folly Farm, and Pure West Radio, and will also see the presentation of three special accolades — the School Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Chairman’s Special Achievement Award.
