Carew 1st XI 5 Whitchurch 0

Carew went ahead in the eighth minute with a goal converted by Mason from a long ball by Moseley from deep in the Rooks' defence which found Smith to put Mason in on goal.

Carew continued to press forward and it was just four minutes later that Smith converted his first of the game from a run down the wing by Williams.

Smith added his second when interplay between Wheeler and Colley saw Colley's well-placed cross guided into the goal.

Whitchurch played well, putting the defence of Moseley, Head, Pritchard and Bowles under pressure from time to time, but they were unable to break through, with Bowles and Moseley putting in particularly good performances, and with Head doing a marking job on the centre forward, Pritchard was able to press forward down the right.

The teams turned around with the Rooks comfortably 3-0 up. However, some complacency crept in and this led to several attacks from Whitchurch who now pressed Carew into making unnecessary errors, although Thomas was never troubled in goal.

A wake-up call was called for and, with Williams in fine form, he was able to feed Kendrick, who put away his shot with precision and set Carew back into action.

Smith almost immeditely put the Rooks into a 5 -0 lead when he picked up a shot from Colley to tap in at the near post.

More chances were presented to the attacking duo of Mason and Smith, with Kendrick making some fine runs, but unfortunately they were snuffed out by the Whitchurch 'keeper or the shots went just wide.

Team: L. Thomas, S. Kendrick (capt.), S. Moseley, M. Bowles, T. Pritchard. D. Head, B. Wheeler, J. Smith, J. Mason, E. Wlliams, T. Colley.

Carew A 7

Lampeter University 1

Keen to emulate the 1st team victory, Carew 2nds applied pressure on Lampeter Uni from the start. This was rewarded within a few minutes when the ball was pushed through to Fieldhouse, who wrong-footed the defender and slotted the ball past the 'keeper.

Minutes later, Evans made a fine individual run past the defenders to hammer the ball in from what looked like an impossible angle.

Now two down, Lampeter didn't give up and when Carew lost the ball from one of their attacks, swift passing rewarded them with a goal.

Despite Carew conceding the goal, the rolling midfield of G. Cole, Evans, Hall, Woods, Meredith and Z. Cole continued their hard work to control and apply pressure, which was soon rewarded with a series of short corners, from which Fieldhouse got his second.

Good interplay by the Rooks then led to a scramble in front of the Lampeter goal, which was picked up by A. Baker to make it 4-1 at half-time.

Lampeter semed to re-organise themselves for the second half, with stronger defence and midfield, which made it more difficult for the Carew attack.

The Carew defence of I. Baker, Ferguson and Johnson had to be alert for counter-attacks and indeed the Rooks' young 'keeper, Shane Lewis, had to pull off two fine saves after having an otherwise quiet and uneventful game.

Carew continued to attack, with some fine runs from Woods down the right-hand side leading to the students conceding a series of further short corners, from which Hall got his hat-trick.

Being the first season for the Carew 2nd XI, many of the players new to the game or returning from not playing for a while, were delighted to notch up their first win at 7-1.

Team: S. Lewis, M. Fieldhouse (capt.), O. Johnson, D. Ferguson, I. Baker, A. Baker, Z. Cole, G. Cole, J. Meredith, A. Hall, D. Woods, J. Evans.

Umpires: T. Pritchard, B. Wheeler.
