CAREW and Merlins Bridge both earned big wins on Wednesday night (Apr 10), as they closed in on league leaders Monkton Swifts.

Having beaten Herbrandston 7-3 just two days before, the Rooks put twelve past them as the amount of games played began to took its toll.

Jordan Richards took his tally of goals for the season to 30 as he scored a double hat trick.

Alex Bayley doubled his tally of goals to six with another treble.

Zac Rowell, James Hinchcliffe and Tom Arthur also scored as they completed a comfortable win.

Merlins Bridge’s Joe Leahy also scored a double hat trick as he helped his side to a 14-0 win over Narberth at the Racecourse.

Will Haworth was also in fine form scoring five times while Nathan Greene was again on the scoresheet.

Richard Hughes and Laurie Haworth also scored as the Wizards closed the gap to leaders Monkton Swifts to four points.

Also on Wednesday, Hakin earned a 3-2 win over Neyland. Ben Aldred was in goal for the Vikings and was unlucky to concede after saving a penalty.

Ollie Hughes and Geraint Rees scored for the Nomads but goals from Justin Harding, Dan Evans and Shane Walsh gave the Vikings victory.

Merlins Bridge now have one game in hand over the Swifts which sees them play Saundersfoot on Saturday (Apr 13).

A win in that game will see them go one point behind the Swifts who they then play on April 24 in a crunch match.

Carew have now played the same amount of games as the Swifts and sit six points behind with two games left to play.

Their next game sees them take on St Clears on Saturday.

Goodwick United can not yet be counted out of the title race as they also sit four points behind the Swifts with two games to play.

On Saturday (Apr 13), they play Hakin at the Obs before their final game against Monkton on April 27.

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.
