HAKIN United moved to the top of Division 1 as they thrashed Pennar Robins 12-0 at the Obs on Monday night (Apr 30).

Pennar could have taken the lead when Mike Ryder went through one on one with the keeper but Hakin’s Adrian Devonald got down well to take the ball away from his feet.

Moments later the home side thought they had taken the lead when Leigh Marchant poked the ball home only for the goal to be disallowed for an offside which looked debateable.

However, it wasn’t long before Hakin did take the lead as Adam John’s deflected strike from the edge of the area found the bottom corner.

Woodrow then hit the post with a header before he saw another header, headed towards goal by Marchant but the ball was cleared off the line.

Hakin continued to press and they doubled their lead when Ben Steele sent a free kick from his own half into the box and Nicky Woodrow was allowed plenty of space to head the ball home.

Ben Fawcett then bagged the first of his four goals as he fired in to the bottom left corner from twenty yards out.

Another ball in to the box caused problems and Woodrow tapped the ball in for his second of the game.

It was 5-0 before half time as another ball was not dealt with and after Bradley Barrett saw his effort blocked, Fawcett was quickest to react to smash the ball in.

Fawcett went on to complete his hat trick in the second half and his fourth goal was Hakin’s 100^th league goal of the season.

Jack Wilson also scored twice while Shane Walsh, Justin Harding and Ben Steele completed the rout.

The win means Hakin go back to the top of the table, level on points with Goodwick United but having played two games less.

On Wednesday (May 2), they play the first of those games in hand as they travel to Angle, who were beaten 23-0 by Goodwick at the weekend.

Then on Friday (May 4), the Vikings welcome Monkton Swifts to the Obs and with two games against Goodwick still to come, they will be targeting two more wins this week.

Pennar Robins will bring the curtain down on their season when they welcome Merlins Bridge to Bush Camp on Friday (May 4).

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.
