It’s derby day in Pembrokeshire’s top division this weekend with a choice of huge local derbies to choose from as the stakes hot up. With drier weather so far this week hopefully all games will go ahead and the games will be well attended.

Kilgetty vs Tenby

We begin in Kilgetty where they host local rivals Tenby and the hosts are in need of a win after falling into the relegation zone last week. Tenby themselves would like to be a bit further clear of the drop zone and will see this fixture as the perfect opportunity to create a significant gap between themselves and Kilgetty.

Monkton Swifts vs Pennar Robins

Monkton Swifts host local rivals Pennar Robins in what is always a mouth watering fixture. The hosts started 2024 with a bang beating Milford United 4-0 at home and showed their quality. Pennar themselves started 2024 on the front foot with an important 2-1 victory over struggling Neyland. Bragging rights are all to play for here, last time out came out 2-1 winners and Pennar will be aiming to avenge that result this weekend.

Milford United vs Goodwick United

The hosts were uncharacteristically beaten 4-0 last week; it’s been very rare that Park’s team haven’t been competitive since promotion. Goodwick isn’t the fixture you want to follow up a 4-0 defeat as they’ve proved they are an excellent outfit on a mission. Not a game the hosts will expect anything from but the performance will be interesting for the hosts.

Hakin United vs Neyland

Justin Harding and his Hakin team will be chomping at the bit to get back on the pitch after last week’s disappointing defeat to Clarbeston Road. The hosts will want to keep up with Goodwick at the top of the table and games like this are ‘must win’ if they are to do that. Neyland may gain confidence from Hakin’s loss last week, however Neyland themselves lost last week and find themselves in a real battle for survival now it would seem.

Clarbeston Road vs Merlins Bridge

Third and fourth meet in an intriguing fixture. The hosts are on a high after last week’s excellent win and are level on points with Bridge and have two games in hand. A real interesting clash here between two clubs who will be looking at Hakin’s results and hoping to be able to break into the top two. Fishguard Sports pushed Bridge hard last week, but they showed enough determination to come home with the points.

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.
