Despite languishing at the bottom of Division One, Carew gave a good account of themselves in their away game against last year's champions Merlins Bridge, finally losing out 2-1.

The visitors struggled to come to terms with the game early on as the Wizards proved too quick with or without the ball and former Carew 'keeper Ian Kerrison was barely tested on the cold, windswept racecourse.

That soon changed in the second half, however, as they began to play with more confidence and they finally got their reward for perseverance when Rhys Davies snuck one past Kerrison for a consolation goal at the end.

Narberth manager Nigel Thomas admitted his side were definitely the second best team on the pitch after witnessing the Bluebirds lose 6-2 at home against Pennar Robins.

Despite scoring first through Adi Jones, Narberth had few answers to what Pennar could throw at them and they eventually trailed 3-1 at the break. The second half was no better as Pennar looked to confirm their superiority.

The Robins eventually scored another three, with Jones scoring one more for a consolation goal at the end, although Thomas knew it meant little.

"We were outplayed. It's as simple as that. We were competitive for the first 20 minutes, but after that it was one-way traffic really. It was disappointing."

According to Kilgetty manager Andrew Cope, his team allowed external factors get the better of them in their away game at Solva as they eventually lost 3-1, despite taking the lead through a Mike Scale goal.

The visitors looked to be heading for another three points on a ground renowned as being one of the most difficult places to play in less favourable conditions, but that all changed in the second half as Solva took control.

"We had chances to win it, but didn't take them," admitted Cope. "Four of our players were booked for inexplicable incidents and we let that play on us and conceded three goals. We were our own downfall in the end. We could have got something from this game, but didn't, and I'm disappointed with that."

What would have disappointed Cope more is the manner in which Solva scored their goals. All three came via crosses from the left, while all three were scored from headers as Kilgetty failed to make their box safe.

In Division Two, Manorbier lost 2-0 at home against Letterston, while Saundersfoot Sports lost by the same margin away at leaders Milford United; this coming a week after they performed so admirably at home against Tenby.

Speaking of the Seasiders, they entertained Fishguard Sports and sent them back with their tails between their legs following a 6-0 win.

Marcus Lyons was the star of the show with two goals, while Tom Merring, Rob Whitfield, Phil Catlin and Sonny Phillips all chipped in with one apiece and manager Mike Lewis was ecstatic.

"We created plenty of chances and could have scored more. We played well and with other top teams losing, it helps us in the league."

Another side to taste success in the division was Pendine who managed to make it four games without defeat after a 2-1 win at home against Prendergast Villa.

"It was a very good performance," admitted Justin Blewitt. "They're a good side, but we matched them and deserved to win."

Steve Jones gave the Gulls the lead midway through the first half, although Villa equalised early into the second. Soon after their equaliser, they had a players sent off and Pendine capitalised on this to increase their dominance.

James Stephens was the hero with a fine strike 10 minutes from time, although the win didn't come without a scare as Villa had a goal disallowed with the final kick of the match.

Narberth Seconds had a fabulous win away to Hubberston in the first round of the Division Three Cup despite struggling to raise enough players for the game. The Bluebirds had 17 players available at the start of the week, although this dwindled as the game drew closer and they travelled with just 12.

Fortunately for them, it was enough to see them through as they won 3-2, with goals from Nick Evans and John Jones, who ended with a brace.

Back to league action and St. Clears continue to beat all before them as they entertained Lawrenny and won 2-0.

"We played really well for the first 30 minutes," said manager Charlie Smith. "We got sloppy after we had scored, which was disappointing, so overall it wasn't our best performance, but to play like that and win is good."

Eddie Wiggins enhanced his reputation as a goal scorer to fear with yet another precious strike in the first half, while Colin Reynolds added the killer strike midway through the second in what turned out to be a comfortable victory.

St. Florence entertained Broad Haven and lost 6-1, their only goal coming from an opposition player, while in the first leg of the Division Four Cup, Kilgetty won 3-1 away at Neyland, their goals coming from Ryan Howells and Barry Ormond, who finished with a brace.

Carew Seconds entertained Johnston and drew 2-2, Mauricio Garcia and Mark Robinson scoring the goals for the home side, while Saundersfoot Seconds had a day to forget as they lost 3-0 away at St. Ishmaels.

Meanwhile in Division Five, Lawrenny Seconds entertained their counterparts from Hubberston and lost 5-1.
