THIS weekend’s action in Pembrokeshire’s First Division saw the competition heat up further, with notable performances both at the top and the bottom of the table. Here’s the full breakdown:

St Ishmaels 4-3 Carew

St Ishmaels secured their second win of the season with a hard-fought 4-3 victory over Carew, continuing a positive run of form after thrashing Herbrandston 8-0 last week. This recent string of good results has seen them climb out of the relegation zone. While it’s still early days, St Ishmaels appear to be building momentum after their shaky start to the season.

Clarbeston Road 5-0 Merlins Bridge

Clarbeston Road put in a commanding performance against Merlins Bridge, securing a 5-0 victory. Ben John and Laurie Haworth both bagged two goals, while Matthew Griffiths also got on the scoresheet, highlighting Clarbeston’s attacking prowess. They remain firmly in the top half of the table and continue to push for a top three finish.

Hakin United 1-0 Kilgetty

Hakin United, currently second in the table, had to grind out a 1-0 win against Kilgetty, with Shane Walsh scoring the decisive goal. Despite a solid defensive display from Kilgetty, Hakin’s resilience shone through, though the match once again showed that they are not as dominant as in previous seasons. The victory sees Hakin stay two points behind league leaders Goodwick United.

Milford United 1-6 Tenby

Tenby continued their scintillating form with a dominant 6-1 win over Milford United. Scott Ferney led the charge with a hat-trick, supported by goals from Daniel Storer, Joe Leahy, and James Adern. Milford managed a single goal through Anthony Hubbuck, but Tenby’s quality shone through. Tenby now sits third in the league and looks capable of pushing the top two, Hakin and Goodwick.

Monkton Swifts 2-3 Goodwick United

Goodwick United, the league leaders, maintained their position at the top after a tough 3-2 win against Monkton Swifts. Goodwick continue to set the pace, but with teams like Tenby and Hakin United hot on their heels, the title race promises to be closer this year compared to previous seasons.

Pennar Robins 8-1 Herbrandston

Pennar Robins inflicted yet another heavy defeat on bottom-placed Herbrandston, this time winning 8-1. Herbrandston remains winless and rooted to the bottom of the table, having conceded a staggering 49 goals in just seven matches. They are looking increasingly likely to face relegation unless there’s a dramatic turnaround in form.

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.
