Football

The cricket season may have ended last week, yet the football season is already in full swing, with the third round of matches taking place over the weekend.
Narberth made the journey to Herbrandston with a weakened side due to James Stephenson’s wedding and lost their second match of the season 4-1, the only bright spot of the game being Vincent Morse’s splendid consolation goal.
The Bluebirds’ start to the current campaign has been more successful than Kilgetty’s, however, as the Kingsmoor outfit lost their third game on the bounce with a 3-1 home defeat against Johnston. Paul Hodge scored the only goal for the losing team and goal difference is the only factor preventing them from propping up the table.
Tenby, meanwhile, have secured every permeable result possible, having won once, drawn once, and after losing to Goodwick 2-0 on Saturday filled in the lost column too.
Despite struggling to avoid relegation towards the end of last season, Pendine have started the campaign with a bang. Saturday’s 2-1 home win over Milford Athletic was their second of the season as the goals were shared between Ian Derbyshire and Steven Thomas.
In stark contrast to Pendine’s encouraging displays, St. Clears, who had an outside chance of promotion to Division One last year, have lost all three; the last defeat being a 3-2 home defeat against Camrose. Stuart Howells and Lloyd Evans were the Saints’ goal scorers.
Carew secured their first league win with a 3-1 home victory over Letterston. Adam Hughes scored twice for the home side, while Haydn Shapcott secured the points with a sweetly taken penalty.
Saundersfoot travelled to Prendergast Villa and drew 0-0 on a pitch almost as narrow as their own.
Lawrenny have secured a decent start to the campaign after they won their second game 2-1 away at Haverfordwest Cricket Club. Tom Lewis scored two goals for the visitors, who also scored for the home side, as their only score was an own goal.
Manorbier United entertained Broad Haven, with the game ending up all-square at 1-1, Sam Christopher getting the goal for the home team.
Narberth seconds may have been forced to give up some players to the first team this week, yet that didn’t prevent them from winning 1-0 at home to Hubberston. The win was their second of the season, having lost one earlier on.
Kilgetty seconds have mirrored their first team, with three defeats from three, the latest being a 7-1 thumping away at Fishguard, with Robbie Beynon’s goal the only bright spot in an otherwise miserable display.
In stark contrast to Kilgetty’s early season woes, Tenby seconds carried on with their 100 per cent winning record thanks to a whopping 7-0 home victory over Herbrandston.
Marcus Lyons and James Howes both scored twice for the Seasiders, with the other goals coming from Tom Baker, Gareth Warlow and Mo Safan.
Tom Davies scored twice in Saundersfoot seconds’ 5-2 home defeat against Milford Athletic. The loss means the village club have failed to secure any points thus far.
St. Florence went down 2-1 away at St. Ishmaels’ seconds, despite Ashley Smith’s goal, meaning they dropped their first points of the campaign.
Finally, St. Clears played their first game of the season and came away with a 1-0 victory at Pembroke Boro, while Lawrenny seconds also got their season off to a winning start thanks to a 3-0 home win over their counterparts from Haverfordwest Cricket Club.
Mike Howes scored twice for the home team, with Steve Campbell netting the other.
