Welsh Government pilot test event confirmed for North Pembs
THE Wales Triathlon will take place in Fishguard on Saturday (12 June) as part of the Welsh Government’s series of pilot test sporting and cultural events across the country.
The pilot events will develop processes and guidance to allow the safe return of events in Wales as coronavirus measures ease.
Organised by Activity Wales, the Wales Triathlon will be run in a safe and controlled manner and is open to registered participants only. Spectators are not encouraged.
The event will be based at the Goodwick Parrog car park, which will be closed between Thursday (June 10) and the end of Saturday (June 12).
The course involves a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and a 13 mile run, with adaptions made to incorporate Covid guidelines established by Welsh Government and the National Governing Body.
The bike route will stretch down to St Davids and take in villages such as Trefin and Mathry.
Ministerial approval was granted following consideration of the proposals at several Event Safety Advisory Group meetings organised by Pembrokeshire County Council, with input from key bodies including Welsh Government, Activity Wales, Dyfed Powys Police, Public Health Wales and Hywel Dda University Health Board.
Cllr Phil Baker, the Pembrokeshire County Council Cabinet Member whose portfolio includes Major Events, said partners had worked closely together.
“A great deal of planning has taken place to ensure the safety of participants, local communities and the staff running the event, and we are confident that it will be successful, albeit very different to previous years,” he said.
He added: “We are conscious that we would normally welcome spectators but this event is different – we are discouraging all spectators from attending, and participating athletes have been asked not to bring supporters with them.”
He said engagement has taken place with local businesses and communities and feedback has been positive, with an understanding that the event is a ‘step in the process towards getting back to normal’.
The Wales Triathlon was launched in 2013 and is a well-established event with tried and tested procedures in place. The participating athletes are a roll-over from the 2020 event, which was cancelled as a result of Covid restrictions.
Normally the event capacity is 1,200 athletes but for the purposes of the pilot, this has been reduced to 500.

Clubs event inspires girls to try new sports
MORE than 50 young people took part in a multi-sport taster event designed to encourage girls to get involved in new activities.
The Sport Pembrokeshire Community Clubs event was held at Fishguard Leisure Centre on Sunday (Dec 1) for pupils from Ysgol Bro Gwaun and its feeder schools, with sponsorship from Valero.
Local sports clubs and activity providers offered a wide range of sessions, including cricket, self-defence, rowing, dance, hockey, tennis, table tennis, rugby and basketball. Water for participants was kindly provided by Princes Gate.
Young Ambassadors from Ysgol Bro Gwaun also played a key role in helping the event run smoothly.
Dan Bellis, of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “It was a fantastic evening and it was brilliant to see so many young people and coaches in attendance.
“There was a wide range of activities on offer and everyone clearly enjoyed themselves.
“We hope the girls who took part have discovered a new sport or activity and will continue their involvement with the local clubs and providers who supported the event.”

Keeper scores 121st-minute wonder goal before saving two penalties
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.
