Football Round Up 25/11/23

Goodwick United continue to impress as they yet again won, this time 5-0 away at Grange Albion in the capital. The venue and the kick off time was moved last minute however it didn’t seem to disrupt O’Sullivan’s men goals coming form Haworth, Dalling, Jones and O’Sullivan and a fourth clean sheet in a row meant it was plain sailing into the next round of the FAW Amatuer Trophy.

Closer to home a late goal from Jay Power ensured Hakin claimed all three points away to Carew who again for the second week running pushed the Vikings hard. James Hinchliffe grabbed a brace for the hosts who will be gutted to have conceeded so late after a good peformance. As predicted newly promoted Milford United gave Merlins Bridge a good game and it was a narrow 1-0 victory for the Haverfordwest based team thanks to a goal from Steffan Williams.

Neyland and Monkton Swifts couldn’t be sepearted as they drew 1-1 with the visitors ending the game with nine men after losing Steele and Ferrier to red cards. Dylan Davies opened the scoring for the Swifts after 15 minutes before Max Bowman Davies equalised after 39 minutes. It would be unfair to say the sending off’s had much of an impact on the result as they came very late in the contest. Neyland are likely to be the happier of the two with this result as the Swifts struggle to find form. Tenby came from behind to beat Pennar Robins 2-1 with goals from Muskett and Ferney in reply to Williams’ opener for the hosts. The result lifts them to fourth in the league and they will be pleased with their return of 15 points so far following their promotion last season. The Robins sit 9th on 9 points and with Neyland and Carew improving and both just a point behind them, they’ll be keen to pull away from the foot of the table sooner rather than later.

A tense local derby was expected in Little Castle Grove as Herbrandston hosted Hakin Reserves, having drawn 2-2 earlier in the season. However Galdo’s men took any prospect of a nervy final twenty minutes out of the picture as they were 4-0 after an hour played. Goals from Whatling, Plunkett (2) and key midfielder Beach put the result to bed. Lees added the fifth after 70 minutes and a clean sheet ensured a pretty perfect afternoon for the yellow and blacks. Monkton Swifts Reserves however just keep winning this time 6-1 at home to Carew Reserves. Liam Butland grabbing a brace and an assist as he takes his total league goals for the season to 12 already. A sign of the Swift’s strength is Butland not even being close to their leading scorer, William Davis scored twice yesterday to bring his total to 25 from 12 league games, not to mention the 6 assists. Carew continue to struggle and only Cosheston sit below them in the table as it stands. Meanwhile in the mid table battles Camrose and St Ishmaels drew 2-2, with the hosts coming back from 2-0 down with ten men, they will definitely be the happier of the two sides. Also in the mood for a comeback yesterday were Broad Haven they also showed good character to come back from 2-0 at home to St Clears it finished 2-2 here too.

In the second division cup Narberth hosted Merlins Bridge in the standout tie of the two, the hosts took the lead through Ashley Williams before subsitute Martin equalised for the visitors. Chris Brown restored the hosts lead, before Bridge had enough of the back and for and two assists for veteran Matthew D’Ivry set up Jago and Martin again to make it 3-2. Leahy then converted a penalty after 70 minutes and there was no looking back for Bridge as they progress into the next round. Meanwhile Johnston also secured their place in the next round after putting 7 past Cosheston, the visitors did manage two consolation goals but that’s all they were as they continue to struggle.

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.
