Kilgetty through to Senior Cup semis after shootout win over Wizards
KILGETTY booked their place in the semi-finals of the Senior Cup on Saturday (Feb 11) as they beat Merlins Bridge on penalties.
Merlins Bridge had won both meetings between the two sides earlier this season but Kilgetty were keen to reach the final once more having been beaten by Hakin United last season.
There was an early chance for Bridge’s Joe Leahy but he was denied by an excellent tackle.
In the 18th minute the ball was played to Jordan Williams and he fired a shot in over the keeper to give the visitors the lead.
Soon after there was a chance for Kilgetty as a ball into the box fell to Richard Cope but his effort was blocked by Jamie Palmer and the Wizards were able to clear.
There was then a chance for the visitors again as a slip allowed Alfie Stottor in one-on-one but Kilgetty keeper Ben Evans came out to stop his effort. The Bridge shouted for a penalty but nothing was given.
With half an hour gone, Lloyd Hughes saw a shot saved by Bridge keeper James Dickson but he parried the ball into the path of Oscar Miles who tapped in to level the game.
There was a chance for the Bridge shortly before the break as a header hit the post but when the half time whistle went the score was still 1-1.
It remained that way until the 80th minute as Lloyd Hughes scored to put the home side ahead.
The Wizards did not give up though and five minutes later Alfie Stottor scored to level the game up once more. There wasn’t to be a winner in the 90 minutes so the sides had to play an extra 30 minutes.
Neither side was able to add to the scoring in the extra-time period and it meant penalties would be needed to find a winner.
Lloyd Hughes scored the first penalty while Joe Leahy scored his before Richard Cope scored to make it 2-1.
Bridge’s Alfie Stottor could not convert his spot kick and that was followed by misses from Henry Lawrence and Lee Hudgell.
Owain Coombs then scored his penalty and Andrew John did not, meaning Kilgetty took the game with a 3-1 shootout win.
The win has earned them a semi-final with Monkton Swifts with the venue and date still to be confirmed.

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.

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.
