Robson-Kanu teams up with Haverfordwest County AFC to provide functional nutrition
CYMRU Premier side Haverfordwest County AFC has made a commitment to player nutrition and welfare, announcing a partnership with functional nutrition brand The Turmeric Co., which will see the company become the club’s official turmeric supplier.
Founded by professional footballer and 46-cap Wales international, Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu, the award-winning brand helps to support players with their health and wellbeing through nutrition, enhancing performance and recovery with their natural raw turmeric shots.
Developed over 15 years, their powerful formula contains only raw and fresh turmeric root (35 grams), carefully extracted and delivered in what they know to be a bioavailable form.
The addition of raw piperine (an extract of black pepper), which studies have shown can enhance the bioavailability of turmeric by up to 2,000%, combined with flax oil (a fat source) ensures maximum absorption, from every single shot.
With a wide variety of products to choose from, including Original Raw Turmeric, Raw Turmeric & Ginger, Raw Turmeric & Beetroot, and the world’s first all-in-one Raw Turmeric Vitamin C & D3, there are many flavours available to customers, with each crafted to naturally aid immunity, recovery, energy and performance.
Commenting on this new partnership, Haverfordwest County AFC Chairman Rob Edwards said: “We are delighted to be associated with such a respected brand and join the growing list of football clubs taking advantage of this innovative product, and we look forward to the benefits of this partnership on all levels.”
Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu, CEO of The Turmeric Co. added: “As the 2022/23 season gets underway, it’s very exciting to add Haverfordwest County to our extensive list of brilliant partners. We’re dedicated to supporting players both on and off the pitch through diet, which is so vital in the modern game. Taking a functional approach to nutrition is essential to give athletes that competitive edge, especially throughout busy playing and training schedules – we’re thrilled that Haverfordwest County on board.”
The product, which is used by the likes of Newcastle United captain, Jamaal Lascelles, sprinter, Adam Gemili, former Scotland rugby captain, John Barclay, and ex-professional boxers, Nigel Benn and Johnny Nelson, is sold in shot bottles and can be purchased by Bluebirds supporters today from www.theturmeric.co

Kilgetty and Carew Share Spoils in End-of-Season Showdown
In the picturesque setting of Kilgetty, under the soft glow of the evening sun, local football fans were treated to an enticing clash between Kilgetty and Carew in the Pembrokeshire League Division 1. With the season winding down, both sides took to the pitch amidst numerous squad rotations, following a hectic week of multiple fixtures.
The match kicked off in a leisurely pace, resembling more of an end-of-season friendly than a fierce competition. Kilgetty seized the early initiative, with the trio of Josh Bevan, Richard Tebbut, and Richard Cope causing headaches for the Carew defense, skillfully led by Gareth Lewis. It was Jac Waters who broke the deadlock for the home side, putting Kilgetty ahead 1-0 as the first half came to a close.
However, Carew emerged revitalised after the break, with Jonty Bennett, James Hinchcliffe, and Zac Rowell putting in the hard yards to level the score. The introduction of Harvey Drummond for the ineffective Sam Christopher added further depth to Carew’s attacking prowess, culminating in an equaliser courtesy of the excellent Hinchcliffe.
As tensions rose, the game took on a newfound intensity, marked by needless bookings, after a clearly offside goal and a few heated moments on the field. Despite the fatigue evident from their recent fixture congestion, both teams showcased their competitive spirit, treating the fans to an entertaining second half.
In the end, neither side could break the deadlock, with Kilgetty and Carew having to settle for a well-fought 1-1 draw. While neither team was at their absolute best, the match provided a fitting conclusion to their respective seasons.

League champions Goodwick will go into the final as favourites, and most around the county expect a Goodwick win. It has been an outstanding season for Goodwick however cup success has evaded them so far. Clarbeston Road have impressed everyone this season and really deserve their place in this years final.
Neill Crawshaw will referee the game, with Tudor Walters and Stefan Jenkins running the line.
There will be a unique contest on the pitch as brothers Will Haworth and Laurie Haworth come face to face on opposing teams. Adrian their father was a great player in the county, and played in many cup finals himself.
The stage is set, Clarby will feel less pressure than Goodwick and will be a threat with Haworth, John and Davies in attack. Meanwhile Goodwick are also blessed with quality players in every department, there is no weak link in O’Sullivans team. Cup football and finals in particular never go as people predict. On paper Goodwick are firm favourites, Clarbeston Road will be happy the game will be played on grass though and not paper, anything can happen! Hopefully it’ll be a good crowd down at the Meadow for the show piece of Pembrokeshire football.
