PENNAR Robins fought back from two goals down to earn a point against Hakin United on Wednesday night (Apr 3).

It was Pennar’s final game of the season and they were keen to end on a positive note and the point keeps them in sixth place for now.

It was also a third game in five days for Pennar and Hakin but both sides played well.

The home side had a chance to take the lead with twenty minutes gone when the ball was played to Ben Adams who stood six yards from goal but he snapped at his shot and the ball went wide.

Nick Willis then latched on to a ball over the top but rushed his shot and the ball fell into the hands of Hakin keeper James Manson.

They were made to pay for those misses when Hakin took the lead soon after. Stuart James, suffering with a bad back, could only punch the ball as far as Ben Aldred who lashed the ball in to make it 1-0 to the visitors.

Ben Adams then missed another good chance before the Vikings doubled their lead.

Justin Harding was brought down and he picked himself up to score and make it 2-0 at the break.

However, Pennar were not out of the game and five minutes into the second half they pulled a goal back.

Sam Southcott played the ball out wide for Ben Adams who shot back across goal into the bottom corner.

Five minutes later they equalised as Alex Lewis played the ball forward towards goal and Southcott reacted quickest to poke the ball in past Manson.

Pennar did have the ball in the net after that as Josh Clarke squared the ball for Adams who scored but play was called back after complaints the ball had gone out of play before Clarke got to it.

Camron Thomas then came close to scoring for the Vikings but James made a good save to tip the ball round the post.

Hakin had Ewan Findlay sent off late on after two bookable offences.

Manson was forced into another good save as Pennar looked for a late winner but both teams settled for a point.

The Vikings are now 17 points behind leaders Monkton with four games in hand.

On Saturday (Apr 6), Hakin are at home as they take on leaders Monkton Swifts.

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.

The awards recognise those who have excelled in sport over the past year or dedicated their time to coaching, organising, and supporting grassroots sport across the county.
