Captain Gethin: With Morgan Tucker winners Carol and Chris Beecher, visitor winners Moyanne and Alan Monday, second placed Sue Griffiths and John Hancock, and third placed Andy and Diane Williams.

THE MORGAN Tucker Greensomes Trophy was first played for in 2009, but was made into an open competition in 2015. 

It continues to grow in popularity with visitors from June’s Open Week returning to enjoy the course. If it continues to grow at the same rate in popularity, it may have to be a whole day event next year.

Nearest the pin in two on the second is not always an easy ask, but visitors from Cardiff, Debbie and Mark Hudman, won that prize. While nearest the pin on the 12th went to local member Fair Ball.

Six twos were recorded: on the 6th – Chris and Carol Beecher, Nick and Seren Allen, Andy and Diane Williams; on the 12th – Pam and Steve Cole; and on the 17th – Alys and Keith Fuller, Gareth and Angela Davies.

Avrile Rees from Carmarthen, playing with local member Steve Williams, won the third visitor’s prize with 39 points; second visitor was Martin Childs from Sapey Golf Club, playing with local member Marion Clarke, with 40 points; but the winning visitors were former Away member Moyanne Monday with her husband Alan from St Pierre Golf Club.

The members found the conditions benign, compared to the usual sea breezes, and the scoring reflected this. In fourthplace with 41 points, winning on the back three from Dave and Penny Cope, were Pam and Steve Cole. Third place with 43 points went to Andy and Diane Williams, which was an admirable score. But in second place with 45 points were Sue Griffiths and John Hancock, and this year’s trophy winners, with 46 points, were Carol and Chris Beecher.

It was the second time they have won the trophy, and Heather and Mervyn, whose trophy it was, were delighted that their friends had done it again. Chris thanked Heather for running the event, and said how thrilled he and Carol were to be winning this trophy.

Many thanks to Tom in the Pro Shop who, as always, went out of his way to help with the competition, to Gavin for taking the nearest the pin signs out, to Laura for her help with the computer, and to Lee and his team for the lovely food (and drink!) they kept going all day long.

The next social game for members is a mixed match at Derllys Court next Friday (Aug 26), and the next trophy is the 125 years Anniversary Shield on Saturday, September 17, which will go on the computer at the end of the month.

on

MORE than 50 young people took part in a multi-sport taster event designed to encourage girls to get involved in new activities.

The Sport Pembrokeshire Community Clubs event was held at Fishguard Leisure Centre on Sunday (Dec 1) for pupils from Ysgol Bro Gwaun and its feeder schools, with sponsorship from Valero.

Local sports clubs and activity providers offered a wide range of sessions, including cricket, self-defence, rowing, dance, hockey, tennis, table tennis, rugby and basketball. Water for participants was kindly provided by Princes Gate.

Young Ambassadors from Ysgol Bro Gwaun also played a key role in helping the event run smoothly.

Dan Bellis, of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “It was a fantastic evening and it was brilliant to see so many young people and coaches in attendance.

“There was a wide range of activities on offer and everyone clearly enjoyed themselves.

“We hope the girls who took part have discovered a new sport or activity and will continue their involvement with the local clubs and providers who supported the event.”

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.
