Derby Drama: Carew Triumph 3-1 Over Tenby United
The Gerald Hicks Recreation Ground witnessed a Derby day clash as Division 1 contenders, Tenby United, locked horns with local rivals, Carew.
Despite recent adverse weather, the home team ensured the pitch was ready and primed for action.
From the outset, Tenby’s offensive prowess was evident, yet a setback struck early with Captain Dan Storer’s injury holding up play very early on but he’s made of stern stuff and came back on bandaged up to help his team. Tenby’s resilience shone through as they continued to dominate proceedings early on although Carew’s defense, marshaled superbly by Gareth Lewis and Sam Southcott, stood firm, eventually turning the tide with a well-deserved goal from Hinchy at the half-hour mark, and Carew taking the lead 1-0.
The second half mirrored the first, with Tenby pressing forward but Carew using their experience by capitalising on the counter, extending their lead to 2-0. Not giving up, Tenby’s determination paid off, pulling one back through the skilled Adam Muskett just a few minutes later, setting the stage for a thrilling last 40 mins at 2-1.
Despite spirited efforts from both sides, Carew’s Sam Christopher sealed the deal with a third goal. Tenby fought valiantly but couldn’t overturn the deficit, with the match finishing with a 3-1 victory for Carew.
Under the watchful eye of referee Marty Jones, the game epitomised the intensity of derby day clashes, characterised by passion and competitiveness. Both teams showcased respect for the officiating, culminating in post-match camaraderie and shared hospitality back at the clubhouse.
A fantastic game and great advert for Pembrokeshire League Division One football, Kudos to both teams for an exemplary attitude and efforts both on and off the pitch.
Well played both teams.

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.
