The Senior Cup hasn't been Narberth's favourite competition of late, after all, they have been knocked out of the competition in the second round for the previous two seasons.
However, a 3-1 win over Prendergast Villa, one of the leading teams in Division Two and therefore no mugs, helped eradicate those dark moments and who knows, this just may be their season in the competition.
Despite the win, manager Nigel Thomas wasn't entirely satisfied with the performance of his team, describing it as 'average' although he was glad to get through.
"To be honest it wasn't a great game and we didn't play particularly well, but it's nice to win although there is room for improvement."
An even first half saw the teams go into the break on level terms with no goals being scored. That soon changed early in the second when Richie Adams headed in at the far post before Morgan Preece's cross from the left found itself in the back of the net.
There was a nervy moment with 15 minutes to go when the visitors equalised, but a fine free-kick by Preece settled matters and Narberth were through into the next round.
Up until then, the Seagulls played with enough style and control to get something from the game yet with ten men it was always going to be hard.
Tenby showed just why they are a team to be reckoned with after travelling to First Division Clarbeston Road and defeating them 2-1.
The Seasiders are playing with total confidence at present and with their envious blend of top quality youth coupled with even better experience they are getting back to where they want to be after a couple of lean years.
A goal apiece by Rob Whitfield and Tom Merion was enough to give the visitors daylight against the home side although they did score a good goal by Adam Hawkins.
There's no doubt that the return of Charlie Smith to St. Clears' ranks has given the West Carmarthenshire side a new impetus this season although they were shown just how far they have got to go when Hakin United beat them 7-1.
It wasn't so much the scoreline that disappointed Smith, but the manner in which heads dropped once Hakin's fourth went in that disappointed him and for a team with lofty ambitions of climbing the league ladder, this was frustrating.
"We want to get back to the top and playing sides like Hakin tests us and shows us where we are," he said.
"We started well and could have scored three in the first half. I had a goal disallowed while Steve Trivet and Colin Reynolds both hit the post so we know can compete against sides like this, but we have to tighten up in defence. It's going to be hard but it always will be against sides like this."
If only those three had gone in the Saints could have had a chance. As it happens, it was Hakin that went into half-time with three goals to their name and when the fourth went in early in the second, the inexperience of Smith's side told as head began to drop.
Eddie Wiggins scored yet another goal to reduce the deficit by one, but a further three goals by the homeside put paid to any comeback and St. Clears' participation in this year's competition despite a magnificent display by Saints 'keeper Jason Owen.
Carew haven't been having it good this season, especially with a host of players leaving to ply their trade elsewhere, yet they produced a masterful performance away at Pennar Robins that saw the game go to penalties.
The homeside had the better of the first half with a Wayne Brunton goal making it 1-0, but then a flurry of activity by the visitors saw them equalise through Sam Goodwin putting the game into extra time.
Pennar piled on the pressure and bombarded the visitors' goal on countless occasions yet failed to score which meant the dreaded penalties ensued.
Unfortunately for Carew their luck ran out and eventually lost out 4-3 on penalties which is a cruel way to bow out after such a gutsy performance.
Saundersfoot produced a masterful display of football at home against Manorbier United winning 11-1. It's fair to say the visitors are finding life quite tough this season, but the homesters were in no mood to be generous and heaped more misery on the beleaguered away team.
The Caine brothers were very much able to exert their class on the game sharing six goals between them. Four went Danny's way while James nipped in with two. The other goals came from Russell Evans, Nielson Cole, Daryl John and Andrew Hughes with Manorbier's consolation being scored by Ben Hall.
Meanwhile in league action, Lawrenny and Narberth seconds were involved in an interesting tussle with Lawrenny eventually winning 4-2.
"It was a good game," said Neil Jolly. "Both teams were excellent going forward yet not so good in defence, but for any neutrals it would have been a good game to watch but I think we deserved it in the end."
Tom Lewis gave Lawrenny the lead early in the first half before Gavin James equalised for the visitors. A Mike Howe special put the home team ahead once more giving them a 2-1 lead that was soon increased to 3-1 once Dean Morris cut inside the defence to score.
A breakaway goal by Narberth resulted in a goal by Nathan Evans, but any hopes of a comeback were dismissed once Phil Cole scored the fourth and final goal.
Elsewhere in Division Three, all St Florence had to show for their 7-1 defeat at home against Hakin United's seconds was a goal by Mark Roberts, while in Division Four, Carew Seconds went down 3-1 at home against their counterparts from Camrose, Jake Lawrence scoring the goal for the home team.
In Division Five, Tenby Seconds drew 1-1 with Letterston, Alan Townsend scoring for the Seasiders, while St. Clears' Seconds beat Pendine's Reserves 5-2, with Simon Bancroft scoring twice to go alongside goals from Sam Mills and Neil Thompson, with Jamie Rugg and Wesley Reynolds scoring for the Gulls.
