Division One

Carew 0 Tenby 5

Ricky Morgan's return combined with a coming of age display by 17-year-old Jack Christopher gave the visitors the edge in this local Derby.

Carew fielded a strong side, even with a couple of regulars missing, and battled hard in the first half. However ,Tenby took the lead with a well-worked goal from Ricky Morgan.

When the visitors were awarded a free-kick near the edge of the box, Jack Christopher went up to challenge for the ball and it fell to Ricky Morgan who volleyed it straight into the top corner for Tenby's 'goal of the season to date'.

In the second half, Tenby got on top and produced some superb football up front, with goals coming at regular intervals.

Ricky Morgan produced a dazzling display with his skill and pace. He extended the lead when he was put through and took on goalkeeper Ian Kerrison in a one-to-one situation to score.

The next goal was another spectacular affair when Jack Christopher ran on to the ball and his shot hit the crossbar. Jimmy Thomas was in support to score.

This was followed by a cracking shot from Jack Christopher for the fourth goal and the fifth goal was another out of the top drawer, when a diving header by Ryan Lawrence gave goalkeeper Ian Kerrison no chance.

Although Carew stuck at their task, they were unable to do anything on the day to prevent the goals being scored, with the Tenby players being on song.

In the words of player-manager Gavin Scotcher: "It was a terrific result for Tenby and it could mean that the tide has turned for us this season."

Division Two

Manorbier United 2 Pembroke Boro 1

Manorbier prospered after being able to start with a full strength team for the first time this season.

Initially Manorbier were all over the place, but gradually settled down to dominate most of the first half, to such an extent that Boro did not have a shot at goal.

After 15 minutes, Ben Hall put Manorbier in front with a superb individual effort which he finished by burying the ball in the top corner after taking on three defenders.

A goal by Terry George from a corner gave Manorbier the cushion of a two goals advantage by half-time.

In the early stages of the second half, Manorbier continued to dominate, but the constant emphasis on attack began to take its toll.

The Manorbier players started to tire and the Boro came into the game.

Manorbier goalkeeper Michael Brown pulled off two excellent saves, before Boro clawed back one goal, but the Manorbier players held out to pick up their second win of the season.

It was a top quality team performance, with Austin John showing up well in midfield and James Hall being a thorn in the flesh of the Boro defenders up front.

Fishguard Sports 2

St. Clears 1

The Saints travelled to Fishguard Sports and had to contend with playing up the slope in the first half, during which no goals were scored.

Both defences kept things tight until the last 20 minutes of the second half, during which three goals were scored. Goals from Ben Jones and Karl Lewis put Sports in front.

St. Clears attempted to get back into the game and during a move down the left substitute fullback Wayne John moved up field in support. He scored when the 'keeper fumbled a shot by Steve Trevitt and John was in an excellent position to tap the ball in.

Unfortunately, the Saints were unable to score again, but left Fishguard in good heart after a pretty good team performance.

Kris Stone played well in midfield, Andrew Walker was steady at fullback and Jonathan Pearson proved a good deputy for Howard Pickersgill in goal.

Pearson normally plays out and donned the goalkeeping gloves for the first time in his career.

The strength of the team spirit at St. Clears at present is indicated by the fact that 14 players made themselves available to travel to Fishguard.

Tenby 4

Saundersfoot Sports 1

Tenby came out on top in this typical local derby. Although Saundersfoot played the better football and created a lot of chances, particularly in the first half, the visitors were guilty of squandering these chances.

On the other hand, Tenby weathered the early storm and picked up a most welcome win. It appears that the Tenby players have taken on board the harsh lessons from earlier in the season that you can create as many chances as you like, but you are not going to win any matches unless you can score goals.

Tenby took the lead through a goal by Stuart McLaren, who drove the ball home from the edge of the box after a good corner by Perry Broadhurst.

The goal inspired Tenby and in the second half the visitors did not have so much possession, but looked dangerous on the break.

Nick Webster-Smith extended the lead when he picked up a long ball to go round the Saundersfoot 'keeper.

However, the speedy Steve Davies nipped in to score from a header after a precision long ball by Damian Keight to reduce the Tenby lead to one goal.

An excellent solo goal by Nick Webster-Smith, which left two defenders stranded, regained the two goals lead for Tenby and with 15 minutes of the match remaining, Shamsul Ali picked up Tenby's fourth goal.

After a Saundersfoot attack, Tenby gathered possession and Nick Webster-Smith was on hand to pick up a long ball which he squared to Shamsul Ali, who deceived the 'keeper with his shot.

Despite continuous Saundersfoot pressure in the closing stages, Tenby held out to register their fourth win of the season.

Jimmy Cowan was pressed into emergency duty as a goalkeeper for Tenby and played out of his skin and in his first full game of the season, Scott Sarrionandia had an all-action game in midfield.

For Saundersfoot, Steve Davies had a cracking game up front and Simon Brace stood out in defence.

Narberth 12 Carew 1

Carew paid the penalty of travelling to Narberth with a depleted team as the Bluebirds rattled in 12 goals.

It was the first time that Carew player-manager Jeremy Griffiths could remember the team conceding so many goals in a league fixture and it made it a sad day for the Carew club as the first team suffered a heavy defeat to arch rivals Tenby in Division One.

Narberth played some good football and took their chances well.

With so many players being unavailable for the match, Haydn Shapcott had to carry on playing despite suffering a suspected broken wrist sustained during the match.

It came as little surprise when Peter Phillips opened the scoring for the Bluebirds after a shot by Nigel Williams was half-saved by the Carew 'keeper.

Craig Hurst followed up with a low drive to increase the lead and a Narberth player scored again, but it gave Carew their only goal of the match as an accidental header by Simon Evans conceded an own goal for the Bluebirds.

Craig Hurst added a third goal for the Bluebirds with an individual effort from the halfway line.

By the interval, Narberth had notched up five goals following a strike by Adrian Jones and a goal by Peter Phillips from the penalty spot.

In the second half, although the Carew players did not give up, Narberth took any chance or half chance. Firstly Peter Phillips clinched his hat-trick and then added another goal from the penalty spot. Manager Adrian Howells was on target with a header and his brother Wayne came on as a substitute and headed home a goal from a good cross by Huw Vaughan.

Other goals came from Ian Hughes, Nigel Williams and goalkeeper Steven Poole. When Mathew Johns suffered an injury, he stepped in to goal to allow Steven Poole to play out and Poole had the satisfaction of scoring the last goal of the match from close range.

It was a good team performance by the Bluebirds. Huw Vaughan, who is not available on a regular basis these days, was a constant threat with his probing runs up and down the left side of the field. Nigel Thomas defended well and Peter Phillips revelled in the freedom to express himself up front.

Goodwick United 2 Kilgetty 5

This rare away win at Goodwick United was a big result for the Kilgetty players. In the words of Lucas Gamble: "This phenomenal performance combined with our form in recent weeks confirms that we have turned the corner and should play with more consistency for the rest of the season.

"It was a testament to the commitment by the players that everyone left the field exhausted."

In the early stages of the first half, Kilgetty struggled to get into the game, but United took a lead of two goals following on target strikes by Gwyn Griffiths and Daniel Williams.

However, Kilgetty kept trying and eventually the persistence paid off when Duane Rossiter reduced the deficit before the interval.

During the second half, Kilgetty put the Goodwick players under a lot of pressure and forced the United 'keeper to pull off a number of top notch saves.

After five minutes of the second half, the scores were level following a goal by Jamie Morgan.

The turning point of the match came when Tim Scale put the visitors in front after a free-kick taken by his brother Michael. The inswinging kick was met by Tim Scale in spectacular and unexpected fashion when he turned and flicked it with a first time shot into the back of the net.

By this stage, the visitors were on top and the scoring was completed by Anthony Bevan and Duane Rossiter, both of whom finished well in one-to-one situations.

Tim Scale had a huge game for the visitors in midfield, while Duane Rossiter and Jamie Morgan were a dangerous striking force up front and caused problems throughout the match for the Goodwick defence.

Camrose 7 Pendine 1

In the words of one Pendine official: "We travelled to Camrose with too much Christmas spirit and were too charitable to the Camrose players."

Although the Seagulls ran a number of nice moves together, it was one of those days when everything clicked for Camrose who were three goals up at the interval after goals from Jeff Harries, Adam Hawkins and Stuart Phillips.

At the start of the second half, Pendine strove to get back into the game. A number of chances were created, but the Camrose 'keeper pulled off some fine saves.

Gradually the challenge from the Seagulls wilted as the players began to pay the penalty for over-indulgence during the Christmas festivities.

Camrose found the back of the net with four more goals scored by Adam Hawkins, Tony Griffiths, Kristian Griffiths and John Lyon.

Substitute left-back Gareth Davies had the consolation of scoring the only goal for the visitors.

Jack Morris was able to hold his head above the parapet for his performance in the centre of midfield.

St. Clears 4 Fishguard Sports 1

Fishguard dominated the first 15 minutes, but St. Clears took the lead against the run of play when Joe Robinson netted with a close range shot.

Five minutes later, the Saints increased the lead through Marcus Leefe. However, poor defending allowed Sports to score following a goalmouth scramble.

Ten minutes into the second half, Joe Robinson scored again for the Saints after a well-taken corner by James Carnell.

The visitors pressed to get back into the game, but fluffed a number of scoring chances, while Saints goalkeeper Stephen Evans pulled off one terrific save which had 'goal' written all over the shot.

St. Clears got back on top and were rewarded with a penalty when Marcus Leefe was brought down in the box. Leefe had the satisfaction of netting from the penalty spot to complete the scoring for the afternoon.

Although Fishguard had most of the play, the visitors failed to take chances. The scoreline might have been slightly flattering for the Saints, but at the end of the day, the Saints picked up the points with the benefit of some accurate and clinical finishing.

The midfield trio of James Carnell, Marcus Leefe and Joe Robinson were the pick of the bunch for St. Clears.

Pembroke Boro 7 Manorbier United 1

As a number of players were unavailable, Manorbier travelled to Pembroke with a weakened team.

Boro were too strong on the day, with Marcus Cunningworth finding the back of the net three times and there was a goal apiece for Lee Laville, Lee Callen, Syd Wallace and Glyn Heath.

Tom Christopher picked up a consolation goal for Manorbier.
