Bridge too good for Neyland

MERLINS Bridge proved too strong for Neyland on Monday night (Apr 8) as Nathan Greene scored a hat trick to earn his side a 5-0 win.
Both sides had chances early on with Neyland’s Andrew Smith going close with a long range effort which was saved by Bridge keeper Gary Thomas.
With quarter of an hour played the Wizards took the lead as Matthew Divry crossed from the right for Greene who headed down and into the net.
Having been made to work for their 6-3 win over Neyland at the Racecourse, the Wizards were keen not to let them back in it and they put the pressure on straight from the restart, eventually earning a corner which came to nothing.
Luke Hayward then sent a free kick into the box from the half way line but Greene headed just wide.
However, moments later the Wizards doubled their lead as a corner from Hayward was headed in at the back post by Chris Ormond.
With ten minutes to go until half time, Joe Leahy found Greene who lobbed the ball forward and Will Haworth took over before shooting and seeing the ball go in off the post.
Adam Hawkins then came close to scoring as he cut inside from the right but his shot was saved.
Hawkins then set up Greene but his tame effort was easily saved.
The Wizards still held a 3-0 lead at the break and Neyland knew they would do well to find a way back into the match in the second half.
Both sides had chances again but it was Greene who went on to complete his hat trick with two further goals.
Having also beaten St Clears 5-0 on Saturday (Apr 6), the Wizards now sit seven points behind leaders Monkton Swifts with two games in hand.
The Bridge are next in action on Wednesday (Apr 10), as they host Narberth. Neyland are also in action as they host Hakin United.

Double podium finish for local rally driver

A 20-HOUR round trip to Machrihanish Airbase in Campbeltown, Scotland, proved more than worthwhile for 17-year-old rally driver Henri Cynwyl, who returned to Wales with two podium finishes.
Henri, from Ponthirwaun, claimed third place on both days of competition in the British Junior Championship and the 1000cc Ecosse Challenge, strengthening his lead in the F1000 British Junior Championship.

The two-day Mach1 Stages Rally was organised by Dunfermline Car Club, with 31 F1000 members taking to the fast tarmac stages of the airbase, cheered on by a warm Scottish welcome.
“I’m really pleased,” said Henri, who was co-driven by Geraint Evans from Bala. “The stages were long, and I much prefer long stages to short ones as I get into a flow. The fast tarmac really suited my car.”
Now in his second and final year in the championship, Henri is backed by a number of local businesses from the Cardigan area.
“I’m so grateful to all of my sponsors and team,” he said. “The car is prepared by Castle Motors in Newcastle Emlyn, and we’ve just welcomed Pembrokeshire College as one of my new sponsors for 2025.”
Henri is currently undertaking an apprenticeship as an electrician with both Pembrokeshire College and DJ Hoyland.
The next round of the F1000 Championship will take place at Wheaton Barracks in Blackpool at the start of August.

Kilgetty AFC Women score new Lucozade kit thanks to Tenby Post Office Stores

Local nomination supports grassroots football in Pembrokeshire
KILGETTY AFC Women’s Team has received a brand-new Lucozade Sport Kit, thanks to a nomination by Tenby Post Office Stores and local supporter Fiona Malone.
The donation includes reusable drinks bottles, bibs, a football carrier bag, a kit bag, and bottles of Lucozade Sport – part of a UK-wide initiative that saw only ten teams selected to receive the sports kits.
‘A natural choice’
Fiona Malone, who nominated the team, said: “We were really happy to nominate Kilgetty AFC Women’s football team when we were asked by Lucozade. My son plays for Kilgetty Under-13s, and the whole club is incredibly inclusive, so when Lucozade asked, we immediately thought of the women’s team.”
The kit was officially handed over on Sunday (July 13) during the club’s Chwarae FOR HER Wales v England watch party at Kilgetty AFC Football Club, Kingsmoor Sports Club.
Team thanks local backers
A spokesperson for Kilgetty AFC Women said: “We are very grateful to receive all of the items from Tenby Post Office Stores and Lucozade. We particularly appreciate the reusable drinks bottles and Lucozade Sport drinks – we’ve been bringing our own, or using the men’s bottles. The bibs are great, and the new bags will be really useful. Thank you!”
Backed by the community
The women’s team continues to grow as part of the wider female football movement in Wales, supported by local businesses and groups. Ongoing kit sponsorship for the girls’ teams has come from Ty Francis and New York Welsh, while Tesco Stronger Starts funding and FAW grants have supported equipment and coach education.
The women’s team has also received training kit sponsorship from Kilgetty WI, and playing kit and volunteer support from Saundersfoot Rotary.
Each of these donations, including the new Lucozade kit, is helping transform grassroots football – building players’ skills, boosting confidence, and creating a stronger sense of belonging through sport.

The evening, part of the Lecol Heroes series, will offer a unique opportunity to hear from these rising rugby stars as they share their journeys from local lads to international pros.
