BROAD Haven’s love affair with the Third Division Cup continued on Thursday (May 3), as they beat Milford Athletic 3-0 to win the Cup for the third successive year.

It was an even first half but Julian Wood put them ahead after half an hour and he then scored again just a minute after the restart before Johnny White’s stunning effort five minutes later all but sealed victory.

It was Milford who had the brighter start as Jack Daines saw a shot saved while Liam Clark also shot over.

Broad Haven came close when a ball was played in to Johnny White but he dragged his shot wide.

Clark and Daines then combined well but the latter saw his shot blocked wide for a corner.

Ian Harvey’s cross was then knocked on by Sam Barton and it fell kindly for Wood but he couldn’t make any contact with the ball and Milford cleared the danger.

With just under half an hour gone, Alan Llewellyn found space down the left to cross into the box for Barton who knocked the ball back across goal for Wood to tap into the net and give Broad Haven the lead.

It could have been two moments later as Josh Beer’s cross found Barton but his first time shot went wide.

Clark then came close for Milford as he turned well in the box but his volleyed effort was blocked on the line by Peter Thomas.

With half time approaching a ball was played through which was missed by the Milford defenders and Wood latched on to it but his lobbed effort went wide.

It remained 1-0 when the half time whistle went but any hopes Milford had of getting back into the match were dealt a blow just a minute into the second half.

The ball was played into the box and when it wasn’t cleared properly it fell to Wood who fired the ball into the top right corner to make it 2-0.

Five minutes later Broad Haven had their third goal as Llewellyn played the ball down the left for White who cut inside before firing an unstoppable shot past Milford keeper Jamie Bird.

Josh Beer was then sent through on goal but he poked his shot wide of the goal and moments later he had another chance but this time his effort was saved by the legs of Milford keeper.

Jamie Davies saw a late free kick go through everyone and just wide of the posts for Milford as they continued to look for a way back into the game.

Beer and White both had chances late on to add to the scoring but Bird was equal to them and the score stayed the same.

Broad Haven then saw the game out as they celebrated their third straight success in the competition.

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.
