THE draw for the Senior Cup semi-finals has been made ahead of the weekend’s quarter final ties.

This Saturday (Feb 12), Hakin United face Merlins Bridge, Neyland host St Clears, Goodwick take on Carew and Kilgetty face Pembroke Boro.

The winners of the game between Goodwick and Carew will face the winners of the game between Kilgetty and Pembroke Boro.

The other semi will see the winners of the game between Neyland and St Clears take on the winners of the game between Hakin and Merlins Bridge.

Merlins Bridge are the current holders after the previous two seasons were curtailed as a result of the covid-19 pandemic.

They will be looking to retain the trophy but they come up against rivals Hakin who currently sit second in Division 1.

The two sides met at the Obs in October and Hakin came away with a 4-1 win.

Division 1 strugglers Neyland face Division 2 side St Clears and both will be keen to make it into the semi-final.

Neyland saw off Fishguard in the first round and also beat Milford Athletic well to reach this stage.

St Clears have seen off Division 1 side Monkton Swifts and Pendine and having reached the quarter finals of the West Wales Cup for the first time last weekend, they will be keen to continue their cup exploits.

Goodwick United host Carew in another all-Division 1 clash just two weeks after the sides met in league action.

Goodwick won that game 1-0 and it promises to be another close game on Saturday. Both have shown they are capable of scoring goals having secured big wins over the likes of Narberth and Tish in recent weeks.

The other quarter final tie sees Division 2 leaders Kilgetty host Division 3 side Pembroke Boro.

With a place in the last four up for grabs neither will want to see their cup journey end at this stage.

All games kick off at 2pm.

Five youth team players earn praise after impressing at championship level

CRYMYCH RUGBY CLUB has hailed the contribution of five of its youth players after they stepped up to feature in a senior side at championship level.

The young players, who remain part of the club’s youth setup, were given the opportunity to test themselves in a higher-level fixture, and impressed coaches and supporters alike with their attitude and commitment on the field.

Club representatives said it was “fantastic to see” the dedication shown by the youngsters, who rose to the occasion in what was described as a special experience for both the players and the club.

The match provided a valuable opportunity for development, allowing the next generation of Crymych players to gain experience in a more competitive environment while contributing to the senior squad.

The rugby club said the move reflects its long-term focus on nurturing homegrown talent and creating a clear pathway from youth rugby into the senior game.

Officials added that the future of the club looks bright, with the performance of the young “Teirw” – or Bulls – offering reassurance that the next generation is ready to carry the club forward.

The club congratulated the players on their achievement and said it hopes to see more youth players progressing through the ranks in the coming seasons.
