ON Friday night (Mar 18) Narberth travelled to Trebanos for a rearranged league fixture and had a mixed squad of experienced players and youngsters due to Covid issues and work commitments.

Trebanos started the game well and were keeping the Otters on the defensive within their own half.

However, against the run of play, full back Nick Gale intercepted a pass close to his own line and ran a full 80 metres to score wide out. Fly half Jonathan Rogers converted (0-7).

The home team continued to dominate play but excellent defence from the Otters kept them out.

Then from a scrum on the half way line Rogers chipped the ball over the top of the Trebanos defensive line and the ball was collected by centre Jake Jenkins who raced up field and when tackled the ball was released to young second row, Rhys Williams, who passed on to the supporting Gale who once again scored in the corner. Rogers converted (0-14).

Trebanos continued to attack at every opportunity but when trying to run out of defence the ball was dropped and Otters winger Josh Davies was quick to get to the ball and kick it downfield.

He regathered the ball close to the home team’s try line and was able to force his way over the line with two Trebanos defenders hanging on to him. Rogers once again converted to stretch the Otters lead to 0-21.

Before the break Rogers kicked a penalty for the visitors and Trebanos fly half Rhys Harries responded with a penalty to get their first points on the board (3-24).

Throughout the second half Trebanos continued to look dangerous with ball in hand and although managing to control the majority of possession some exceptionally strong defence from flankers Tom Curry and Richie Rees and centres Jake Jenkins and Rheon James continued to stop the home team in their tracks.

The Otters also had their chances to score in the second half but were unable to get a further try and bonus point to go with it.

Trebanos eventually managed to get over the Otters try line to peg the score back to 8-24 but Narberth completed the scoring when Rogers once again kicked a penalty near the end of the game to make the final score 8-27 to the Otters.

The Narberth coaches gave their Man of the Match Award to Rhys Williams for his overall work rate, ball carrying skills and defensive work. Next week the Otters have another away League match against second placed Bedwas which is sure to be another tough encounter.

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.
