Neyland and Fishguard would have both had their clash last weekend down as must win. A draw being not much good for either side, indeed draw they did. It leaves both clubs starring down the barrel of relegation from the first division. Fishguard look all but relegated having failed to win a league game all season and sit on only four points. Neyland are on 13 points and are in fact level on points with Kilgetty, however Kilgetty have played five games less than Neyland and are yet to play Fishguard at all yet.

Division One Results 10/2/23 –

Hakin United 2-4 Milford United

Goodwick United 5-0 Kilgetty

Carew 2-0 Monkton Swifts

Pennar Robins 2-2 Clarbeston Road

Fishguard Sports 1-1 Neyland

The league title seems to be firmly in the hands of Goodwick United who again won convincingly. Carl Vincent’s Pennar Robins picked up a point at home to Clarby and the Robins surely now are safely in ‘mid table’ category, with relegation fears all but gone. Carew and Milford United both had impressive wins and both games are featured on our website.

In the second division Monkton Swifts Reserves seem to have both hands on the league trophy. They won again this time at home to St Clears thanks to goals from the hugely impressive William Davis and Jordan Kilby. The Swifts haven’t lost since September and nobody can argue with their empathetic league position being 11 points clear of second placed Herbrandston.

Elsewhere Camrose beat Broad Haven 3-0, with goals from Joe Haworth, Dan Llewelyn and James Williams. Mark Collins’ team climb to sixth in what is an increasingly impressive first season back at this level.

In the race for second place Merlins Bridge beat Leigh Galdo’s Herbrandston 2-1. Canton and Cromwell’s goals were enough to secure the three points for Sammy Lee’s men. It puts the Wizards second string level on points with Herbie, however Herbie have played three games less.

Hakin United edge Carew in tight contest
Carew 0 – Hakin United 2

Hakin United kept the pressure on league leaders Goodwick United with a gritty 2-0 victory over Carew at the Gerald Hicks Memorial Ground. The second-placed Vikings remain firmly in the title race, poised to capitalize on any slip-ups by Goodwick.

The game was settled in the first half, with Ryan Wilson breaking the deadlock in the 15th minute. The Hakin captain connected with a pinpoint Shane Walsh cross to score from close range. Hakin doubled their advantage on the stroke of halftime when Wilson turned provider. He set up Alfie Stotter, who unleashed a stunning 25-yard strike that soared into the roof of Jack Harries’ net.

Despite Carew’s determined second-half efforts, there were no further goals, and Hakin secured their thirteenth win of the season.

Goodwick United narrowly beat Merlins Bridge
Goodwick United 1 – Merlins Bridge 0

Goodwick United clinched a vital 1-0 victory over Merlins Bridge in a hard-fought encounter at Phoenix Park. Although Goodwick dominated possession and created multiple chances, poor finishing meant they had to battle for the win.

The decisive moment came in the 29th minute when Luke Hayward’s well-delivered corner found Matty Delaney, who headed the ball into the net from close range. Goodwick struck the woodwork several times during the match, but their single goal proved enough to secure all three points.

Goodwick will be looking to sharpen their finishing ahead of their West Wales Intermediate Cup clash with Cwmamman United next Saturday.

Tenby too strong for Herbrandston
Herbrandston 0 – Tenby 10

Tenby United delivered a commanding 10-0 victory over bottom-placed Herbrandston in a one-sided affair. The visitors controlled proceedings from the outset, leading 3-0 at halftime before adding seven more goals in the second half.

Scott Ferney opened the scoring, followed by strikes from captain Daniel Storer and Jerome Williams. After the break, Ned Davies, Joe Leahy, and Ferney extended the lead, with Ferney netting his second consecutive hat-trick. Leahy added another to complete his brace, before Ferney scored his third to make it 8-0. Rhys Morgan and Jacob Hipkiss rounded off the rout with late goals.

The emphatic win keeps Tenby climbing the table, while Herbrandston remain without a point this season.

Championship Division

Crymych 5 – Ammanford 21

CRYMYCH’S battle to stay in the Championship Division continues as they fell to a 21-5 defeat against Ammanford, who secured a season double over their opponents. A sluggish first half left Crymych trailing too far behind to recover despite an improved second-half performance.

Ammanford’s powerful pack and cohesive backs dominated early on, running in three tries in the first half. Full-back Gareth Rees converted all three to establish a commanding 21-0 lead at the break. Crymych managed a single unconverted try in the second half through replacement winger Hedd George but could not close the gap further.

This defeat marks Crymych’s 11th loss of the season, leaving them in ninth place and in danger of being drawn into the relegation battle. While they remain outside the bottom two, their struggles with slow starts and fundamental errors must be addressed urgently.

Crymych’s upcoming fixtures will be crucial, with the team needing to improve their defensive discipline and sharpen their attack to secure their Championship Division status. The pressure is mounting as the season progresses.
