Senior Cup - third round

Camrose 1 Carew 7

Ultimately Carew, who lie fifth in division one, were too strong for division one's strugglers Camrose. However, although the visitors led by three goals to one at the interval, the scoreline flattered Carew a little as Camrose worked very hard. Teenage striker Mike Boswell gave Carew an early lead with a breathtaking volleyed shot from the left side of the box. Camrose showed their fighting qualities by getting an equaliser through Martyn Tweedie. For most of the rest of the half, play was pretty even and Camrose could have taken the lead if they put away some half chances. With eight minutes of the first half remaining, Mike Boswell showed his hunger for goals by finding the back of the net twice to complete an excellent hat- trick. The young Camrose side got tired in the second half. Boswell seized his chance to strike again with two more goals to take the total to five and the scoring for the afternoon was completed with goals from Jimmy Thomas and substitute Richard Bullock. Mike Boswell was the star of the show with his goal scoring prowess and Jimmy Thomas worked tirelessly in midfield.

Herbrandston 4 Kilgetty 2

Kilgetty almost pulled off one of the shock results of this year's competition as they led Herbrandston twice, only to leak three goals late in the second half. This was an epic battle between two teams intent on playing attacking football and the spectators weren't disappointed. Nicky Cope gave the visitors the lead in the first half as he rifled in a shot that gave the Herbie 'keeper no chance. Kilgetty were playing against the wind and it appeared to suit them better and it was only a matter of time before the goal came. Other chances followed, but sadly, no goals did. The home side began brightly in the second half as the piled the pressure on, knowing they had to pull a goal back quickly. This they did and a period of stalemate followed as both sides had chances to score. Kilgetty made a change as Richard Griffiths came on and the impetus he created on the right paid dividends as Jack Bevan pulled his team ahead. With 15 or so minutes left, a shock looked likely, but a defensive lapse allowed Herbrandston back in. This goal gave them the will to push on and they bombarded Kilgetty's defence in a relentless pursuit of goals. The pressure finally told in the final 10 minutes when two goals were scored, ruining Kilgetty's cup dreams, although Nicky Cope believes the result was a fair one: "I don't think we deserved to win, despite playing so well. They probably had more chances, although in saying that we should've held on to win when we were 2-1 up, but the pressure told in the end." Mark Jones scored twice for Herbie with A J Galdo and Nick Woodrow picking up a goal apiece.

Division Two

Clarbeston Road 0 Pendine 2

Another stellar performance by Pendine earned them three points against Clarbeston Road, a win that Seagulls stalwart Justin Blewitt described as 'good'. Perhaps that is an understatement considering his team travelled away with just 11 men and no subs. What's more pleasing is the fact they gained some points on the leaders. "With no subs, this was a great win," said Blewitt. "We gained three points on Prendergast Villa as they didn't have a game. It's done our promotion hopes no harm." Dwayne Reynolds put the visitors ahead in the first half, giving his team a 1-0 interval lead; a half which they dominated. The second half was a little closer as Clarbie regrouped, but they created little in the way of chances as Pendine held firm; although they didn't make the game safe until five minutes before the end when Blewitt was put clean through to bury the opposition.

Johnston 3 St. Clears 2

Another good performance by the Saints, although not the outcome they desired. That was the verdict of manager Mark Snelling after this 3-2 defeat. The Saints have been on a bit of a roll of late and have won some impressive games and they would have been confident against the Tigers, even though they had to travel away. Snelling was philosophical about the result: "We had enough opportunities to score, but didn't put them away. We didn't deserve to win and we didn't deserve to lose. It was a good even game really." Two goals from Eddie Wiggins gave the visitors a 2 -1 interval lead, but five minutes into the second half, the home side equalised and the balance of play shifted slightly in their favour. More drama was to follow when Wayne John plus an opponent were sent off for a bout of fisty cuffs and, although the Saints battled hard, the pressure finally told when Johnston scored the winner with 10 minutes to go. Adi Moore, with one, and Andrew Murray, with two, got the goals to give the Tigers the points.

Division Three

Lawrenny 2 Manorbier United 6

Top of the table Manorbier achieved an impressive result at Lawrenny to gain three valuable points. As is often the case, Lawrenny were slow to start and the visitors, who were playing in a change of blue, dominated proceedings from the whistle to give a polished first half performance. An inch-perfect free-kick by Manorbier skipper Ben Hall was met by Paul Maytum with a fierce header to open the scoring and 10 minutes later Maytum scored again with a header from a corner. Goal scoring opportunities were being created as a result of some superb passing movements by the visitors and Maytum trotted forward for another corner to thunder in his third goal to complete a brilliant individual hat-trick. Last season, Maytum was top scorer and on this form he looked set to retain the trophy for the second year on the trot. A goalmouth scramble resulting in an own goal led to the fourth goal and Sam Reeve fired in a low shot from 20 yards just before the break to make it five- nil. In the second half, it was a different story. Credit must be given to the shell-shocked Lawrenny side for raising their game to play some good football. Lawrenny made their intentions clear from the outset and after five minutes pulled a goal back when Jim Kinnear headed home a free-kick. For the next 30 minutes, no more goals were scored by either team, although Lawrenny did create a number of half chances. With five minutes of the match remaining, Jamie Robinson fired in a blistering shot from 30 yards to restore the five-goal advantage for his team. However, Lawrenny were not finished and Mike Jolly ran on to a through ball to slot the ball past the Manorbier 'keeper. For Manorbier, it was an excellent all-round team performance, especially in the first half. For Lawrenny, Mike Jolly had a good game up front and Brian Gildea was prominent in midfield. The match ball was sponsored by property developer, Neil Jolly. St. Florence 5 Broad Haven 5

What a game! St Florence opened the scoring with a penalty taken by Liam Culshaw, quickly followed by a goal from Adam Johns, which established a lead of two goals. Broad Haven pulled a goal back before St. Flo restored their two-goal cushion when Andrew Culshaw found the back of the net. The visitors then gave an insight of things to come by piling on the pressure and scored twice before half-time to make it all-square at the interval. Broad Haven started the second half the brighter side by scoring two goals, including a penalty. Dramatically, with five minutes to go, playing up hill, Adam Johns was able to get his second goal to give St. Flo a lifeline, and then top goal scorer Scott Smith grabbed the equaliser to give St. Flo a share of the spoils. It was a well contested game between two evenly matched sides and a draw was a fair result. Steve Roberts scored twice for the visitors and their other goals were scored by Tom Alexander, Gareth Paullet and Ross Beese.

Reserve Cup - third round

Narberth 3 Pennar 2

Narberth produced an excellent all-round performance to dispose of Pennar in this closely fought contest. The home side had the majority of the first half and deserved to take a 1-0 lead thanks to a Jamie Bradfield goal, although that was quickly cancelled out when Pennar equalised as half-time loomed. Liam Woodford scored a scrambled goal to put Narberth 2-1 up soon after the restart and when Bradfield added his second, an easy victory was on the cards; but Pennar had other ideas. For the final 10 minutes the game belonged to them as they bombarded the home team with wave after wave of attacking football. The Bluebirds were indebted to Kyle Quartermaine for keeping them in the game as he made two excellent goal-line clearances to stop the visitors from scoring. However, the stress of defending finally caught up with Narberth as Pennar scored a late goal, although there was no time to score another. Jamie Heeps and Phil Thompson were on target for Pennar.

Reserve Division One

Carew 2 Johnston 0

Fifth placed Carew had a comfortable win against 14th placed Johnston. Although the visitors competed, they were unable to reply to the two goals scored by Joe Kidney. Reserve Division Two

Manorbier United 1 Hundleton 1

Thirteenth placed Hundleton did well to earn a draw against seventh placed Manorbier United. Adrian Atwell was on target for the Yellows.

St. Clears 5 Lawrenny 1

St. Clears played some of their best football in beating Lawrenny 5-1 at home. If they continue like this, then promotion is definitely on the cards. Despite their dominance, they were only 2-1 up at the break, with goals from Andrew McCabe and Colin Reynolds, but they certainly cut loose after the interval. Reynolds scored the third and once that was in there was only going to be one winner as Steve Ashton completed the rout with a brace of goals that left Lawrenny reeling. "It was an excellent win by us again," said Rob Phillips. "If we continue like this we could get promoted. We've got a game in hand over Solva, so you never know."

Tenby 2 Pembroke Boro 3

Tenby have dropped down from ninth to 11th in reserve division one after losing this very even game, with Darren Thomas scoring all three goals for the visitors. Boro led by one goal at the interval after Darren Thomas rounded the 'keeper after picking up a long ball in skilful fashion. Five minutes into the second half, Thomas struck again with a shot from the edge of the box, before Liam Robson reduced the deficit for Tenby with a terrific shot into the top corner from 30 yards. Robson picked up his second goal to level the scores with a close range shot, before Darren Thomas made the game safe for the visitors when he completed his hat-trick. Both sides played well and tried to keep the game open, but in the final analysis, Boro played slightly better and deserved the points. Everyone played well for Tenby, with Liam Robson giving a man of the match performance at the centre of midfield.
