Bluebirds Look To Bounce Back

HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY will hope to get their stuttering season back on track this Saturday when they entertain a supremely confident Aberdare Town at the Conygar Bridge Meadow.

This Saturday’s meeting of these two sides will be their first league clash of the 2013/14 season, but Aberdare will go into the fixture holding a narrow psychological advantage having beaten the Bluebirds 3-0 in the Word Cup back in September 2013.

The Bluebirds have, despite a good start to the campaign, been in unusually disappointing form lately losing 2-1 at home to Cambrian and Clydach and then away at West End which has cost them their place sitting pretty at the top of Division 1 of the Welsh League.

They had been unbeaten in the league this season up to the game against Cambrian and, having been top of the table, they are now disappointingly five points behind new leaders Taffs Well. However, the Bluebirds are lucky enough to have a game in hand so they could cut that 5 point deficit down to a mere 2 points if results go in their favour.

The Bluebirds have not played any fixtures since their loss to West End on January 25. This is mainly due to the weather and those gathering storm clouds and wind could again play its part come Saturday, but as it stands as of print the game is going ahead as normal.

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.
