Senior Cup
(Third Round)
Pennar Robins 5 Narberth 3
After drawing level twice during normal time, the Bluebirds were unable to equalise after the Robins scored a goal in each period of extra-time.
After making all of the early running, the Bluebirds found themselves on the back-foot when a penalty by Wayne Brunton for the Robins was followed up by a goal by Marcus Lyons.
However, striker David Gillard put the Bluebirds back into the game with two goals, before James Stewart regained the lead for the Robins.
The Bluebirds pounded the Robins during the closing stages of normal time and had their just reward when substitute Paul Phillips finished a move initiated by the tireless Raff Barnett.
The Robins looked dangerous on the break and during the first period of extra-time took the lead following a goal by Wayne Brunton. The Narberth players saw the linesman's flag up for offside and paid the penalty for delaying their challenge.
In the second period of extra-time, Gideon Hockin, who had caused problems for the Bluebirds' defence throughout the afternoon, put the game out of reach.
Division One
Carew 5 Camrose 4
Lowly Carew had a morale-boosting win over Division One leaders Camrose in a top quality game during which nine goals were scored.
Carew dominated proceedings in the first half and took a lead of three goals. The first was scored by a volley from Carl Wainwright, followed up by a solo effort by James Buckle, and then Carl Wainwright picked up his second goal of the match when he blasted the ball past the 'keeper.
At the start of the second half, Camrose fought back with a goal by Adi Howarth, although Carew regained their three goals advantage when James Buckle struck again.
The league leaders were not prepared to give up without a fight and scored again when Marcus Taylor followed up a free-kick partially saved by Carew 'keeper Ian Kerrison.
The visitors scored again after a powerful run by Adi Smith which ended in a goal by Smith and then Marcus Taylor equalised with a shot from 25 yards.
Amidst much jubilation, Carew clinched the game just before the final whistle when Adam Chandler netted the ball with a direct kick from a corner.
It was an excellent performance by the Carew team, for whom twin strikers Carl Wainwright and James Buckle were outstanding and Nick Scourfield had an excellent game in the centre of midfield.
It was a day to remember for the Scourfield family as the three brothers Nick, Robert and Martin, played for Carew in Division One for the first time.
Hakin United 3
Tenby 1
The Seasiders took the lead after 25 minutes with a diving header by Phil Catlin after a cross by Gavin Scotcher.
Although the Vikings were the better team, the pitch conditions were heavy and wet and the Tenby players battled their hearts out to create a number of half chances.
Midfielders James Thomas and Phil Catlin were in the thick of things throughout the afternoon and it was a big disappointment for the visitors when Paul Jones scored twice in the last five minutes, the second goal coming from a disputed penalty decision.
The visitors continued to raise their game in the second half and restricted the Vikings to a one goal lead until Paul Jones finished in style with just two minutes of the match remaining.
It was a collective team performance by each of the Tenby players, while David Day and Mark James deserve a particular mention for their steadying influence at fullback.
Monkton Swifts 7 Saundersfoot Sports 0
A below par performance by Saundersfoot Sports resulted in five goals being conceded before half-time. Chris Manning opened the scoring for the Swifts with a left-footed volley, followed up by strikes by Dean Driscoll, Dean Busby and two by Mathew Price.
In the second half, the Sports pulled themselves up and made it more difficult for the Swifts to score, although Mathew Price completed his hat-trick and Paul Lowe also scored.
The younger players in the Saundersfoot team will have learned a lot from the experience of playing in this game and Jason Llama did his utmost to close the floodgates in defence.
Division Two
Manorbier United 1 Neyland 5
The Manorbier team played well in the first half and created numerous chances which were not taken.
Phil Christopher opened the account for Manorbier with a penalty, but Lyndon Frayling equalised within 30 seconds for the visitors.
On the stroke of half-time, Gareth Hein made the most of a defensive misunderstanding to put Neyland in front.
In the second half, it was a different story as Neyland took control of the game to score at regular intervals. Jason Phillips scored twice and Gareth Hein added to his first half goal, so Manorbier were not allowed to get back into the game.
Manorbier fullback Joe Gray had an excellent game especially in the first half.
Letterston 7 Lawrenny 1
Andrew Cole opened the scoring for Lawrenny after 10 minutes when he took advantage of a poor kick out by the Letterston 'keeper.
However, the visitors found themselves on the back-foot for the rest of the game.
Gareth Mathias equalised from a corner, while Stuart Lamb and Paul Taylor added more goals for Letterston before the interval.
In the second half, Lawrenny rarely got inside the opposition territory and Letterston scored four more goals through Darren Devonald, Simon Lawrence, Nick Lawrence and an own goal.

Early in the second half, Sam Thomas increased the lead for the Saints when he was in position to make the most of a flick-on by Eddie Wiggins, but in the end this mid-table contest ended all-square after the double strike by West.
Striker Sam Thomas had a good game for the Saints up front and Eddie Wiggins worked hard on the left side of midfield throughout the match.
Division Three
Lamphey 2
Templeton 0
Both teams attempted to play football, although the players slithered and slipped on the skiddy surface.
Lamphey took the lead 10 minutes before half-time with a goal by Mark Yea which had more of a hint of being offside.
Templeton stayed in the game for most of the second half, although Lamphey had the slight edge and David Stanley put the result beyond doubt with an individual effort with just five minutes of the match remaining.
Templeton were without a number of regular players due to suspension and for other reasons, although goalkeeper Jason Oatley maintained the excellent form that he has shown throughout the season.
Broad Haven 3
St. Florence United 2
St Florence had most of the first half and were a goal up after 10 minutes following a cracking shot by Scott Smith from 25 yards.
Although the Saints continued to create scoring opportunities, five golden chances were missed and Broad Haven came back into the game when Jim Nutting equalised. Just before half-time Lee Dalton edged the home team in front.
In the second half, Broad Haven took control and with 15 minutes of the match remaining, Lee Dalton picked up his second goal to extend the lead.
However, with two minutes of the match remaining, Phillip Evans struck back for the visitors to reduce the deficit and came close to scoring again before the final whistle when his shot hit the crossbar.

For the remainder of the match, the visitors took control. Adam Bayjoo increased the lead with a header, but Mathew Broadhurst pulled one back for Tenby.
In the closing stages, Adam Bayjoo picked up his second goal of the match and the Vikings repelled any further Tenby attacks.
Liam Robson had an excellent game for Tenby in the first half and his injury just before half-time, which forced him to leave the field, blunted the cutting edge of the Tenby attack.
Perry Broadhurst had a good all round game in midfield.
Johnston 2 Carew 3
In an excellent game of football, Johnston took the lead after just 30 seconds when a defensive misunderstanding allowed Darren Skelhorn to find the back of an empty net.
Within 15 minutes, Carew had equalised with a cracking header by Sam Goodwin following a cross by Russell Knox. Goodwin made the goal with a well-judged diagonal run which left the Johnston defenders standing.
Johnston regained the lead through Jason Griffiths, but before the interval, Ceri Bradley equalised for Carew in spectacular fashion with an overhead scissors kick when the ball bounced in the box.
Throughout the second half Carew enjoyed the majority of possession, but left it late to get the winner through Darren Thomas, who hit a free-kick from Jeremy Griffiths and the ball flew into the top corner.
It was a battling performance by the Carew team on a heavy pitch and it was a case of all hands to the pump in a great team effort.
Merlin's Bridge 1 Narberth 2
The Bluebirds took the unbeaten league record from the Bridge with an excellent performance at the Racecourse.
Richard Henton put the visitors in front when he broke from midfield and scored after beating two players.

Saundersfoot Sports 3 Kilgetty 2
In an exciting local derby watched by a large crowd, Chris May gave the visitors an early lead after a goalmouth scramble.
Both teams endeavoured to play quality football on a very slippery surface and Sports equalised following a header by Damien Keight after a good run down the right by Gary Cunningham.
Ben Gray put Sports in front, but Andrew Prout equalised with a superb effort from the halfway line.
As in the first half, there was little to choose between the two teams in the second half, with both teams coming close to adding to their first half account.
Substitute Luke Wallace, who replaced the injured Damien Keight, put Saundersfoot in front midway through the second half with a shot from the edge of the box.
That goal completed the scoring for the afternoon, although Robbie Beynon came close twice to scoring for Kigetty.
Saundersfoot player manager Mike Cornick played himself and was delighted to pick up three points in a game which kept the crowd interested right until the final whistle. It was a good team effort for Saundersfoot and Gary Cunningham played a big part in the victory.
