PEMBROKESHIRE County Swimming have seen their Development clubs, Tenby Dolphins, Haverfordwest Seals [Navy and White], Milford Tigers, Fishguard Flyers and Preseli Panthers race in the ‘Duel in the pool’.

The opening round of fixtures was planned to set a bench mark for further fixtures, so the young swimmers competed against a similar standard of swimmer in their next round.

These fixtures now see Haverfordwest Seals Navy take on their own ‘White’ team, Fishguard Flyers will entertain Milford Tigers whilst newest Development club Preseli Panthers welcome Tenby Dolphins to their Crymych pool.

Sam Jones Assistant coach of Pembrokeshire County Swimming said: “The competition was set up last year to develop Pembrokeshire’s very own League for younger swimmers to enjoy racing, compete locally including being part of a relay team. There is no restriction on the age of the swimmer which gives vital swimming experience in a fun environment”.

The competition last year was well received by the swimmers, club officials and parents, ending with a thrilling finale at Milford Leisure Centre, home pool of the Tigers and Haverfordwest Seals emerged as champions. This seasons competition has also seen some fantastic afternoon of swimming, where the ‘duals’ have been close and nail biting, with every swimmer contributing their bit to a team’s success.

Following the next round of fixtures over the next ten weeks, the points accrued will influence the ‘lane draw’ for the grand finale, when six of the seven Development Clubs will be present.

Jones went on to say: “It’s an exciting time to be part of Pembrokeshire County Swimming Performance programme, where we have swimmers in our Performance Squads doing well in National and British competitions.

“We have a vision for the future and this starts with those swimmers who first start the sport, some as young as six. We have over 300 members of our clubs and catering for their requirements in a fun way is exactly what the ‘Dual in the Pool’ was set up for.”

Round 1 results:

North: Fishguard Flyers 231-174 Preseli Panthers

Mid: Haverfordwest Seals Navy254-177 Milford Tigers

South: Tenby Dolphins 170 – 268 Haverfordwest Seals Whites

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.
