It's been a winter of discontent thus far for Carew. Prior to Saturday they had played 14 games, won none and conceded 57 goals and for all intents and purposes it looked as though the trend was going to continue against Herbrandston.

The first 35 minutes of this match was going one way only and that was the way of the visitors. They scored three goals without reply in the first 35 minutes, but all that changed once Benjie James drove one home just before the break.

As game-changing goals go, this was the catalyst for Carew's revival. They failed to let Herbrandston settle and therefore boss the game; instead, they were the team in charge as Mark Robinson pulled another one back following an excellent break, while Wayne Cannon equalised the game with about 15 minutes to go and then came Ian Sefton.

As great a cricketer as he is, his prowess on the football field is not so widely known, mainly due to the fact he is so often injured, yet over the years he has scored some match-winning goals for the village club, and Saturday was no exception.

With 10 minutes to go, he gained possession just outside the box and let one rip to see it fly into the back of the net for an excellent score and a deserved win, which has been a long time coming.

If Carew performed well to win, then spare a thought for Kilgetty, who performed well in their game against Pennar Robins, only to lose 4-2.

"It's incredibly frustrating," said manager Andrew Cope. "We played superbly in the conditions and did enough to win the game, but one or two decisions went against us and we didn't put enough of our chances away."

A sluggish start saw the visitors go 2-0 up early in the first half, but Richard Cope played the ball through to his brother Nick who proceeded to score to reduce the deficit just before the break.

He added another soon after to draw the teams level and when Adam Jones was felled in the box, Kilgetty expected a penalty, but the referee decided against it and waved play on. Josh Bevan then hit the bar, while Cope shot just wide, before a breakaway goal saw the visitors take the lead once more.

The last five minutes was frenetic, to say the least, and Dan Cope was deemed to have fouled a player in the box and a penalty was given while Cope was sent packing for a second bookable offence. Pennar scored and any hopes of a comeback were over, much to Cope senior's dismay.

Narberth, on the other hand, had an excellent 1-0 win away at Solva. In desperate conditions and against a nagging team, the Bluebirds produced one of their most pleasing displays of the season to take the points back to Jesse Road.

"We deserved to win," beamed manager Nigel Thomas. "Against a tough team, we played some of the best football we've played all season. It was a great all-round display."

Narberth took the lead after 10 minutes when Jordan Williams slammed one high into the back of the net. Soon after it looked as though Ashley Williams had put the Bluebirds further ahead, although the goal was disallowed, and, although Raff Barnett and Kyle Quartermaine both had chances, none were forthcoming, not that Narberth were complaining too much of course.

In Division Two, it was a sad day for Pendine as they travelled to Angle, only to lose 4-0, while Tenby could only manage a 0-0 draw against Milford United.

Saundersfoot Sports had a good result away at Johnston as they defeated the Tigers 2-1.

Danny Caine gave the visitors the lead after 30 minutes with a direct free-kick, while a mix-up in defence allowed the home side back in just after the break.

Five minutes later and the Sports were deservedly back on top after Sam Reeves slotted one home, although the Tigers fought bravely to the end and forced the Sports to defend right up until the final whistle.

Not such a happy day for Manorbier United, however, as they entertained Camrose and lost 11-0.

St. Clears showed Lamphey why they are top of Division Three with a comprehensive and thoroughly deserved 5-0 away from home. Although the home side had chances late in the first and early in the second, a flurry of three goals in five minutes by the visitors put paid to any hopes the Stags may have had of getting anything from the game.

Sam Thomas scored first, with Jason Baxter and Steve Trivet making up the first three goal scorers, while ace goal scorer Eddie Wiggins came off the bench to score the fourth, while Colin Reynolds slammed home the fifth.

Lawrenny entertained Monkton Swifts and lost 3-0, with manager Neil Jolly describing it as a huge 'disappointment.' Compared to the previous week when they performed so well, Saturday was a different kettle of fish as they were defensively poor and allowed the visitors to score all their goals in the first 25 minutes

Other results in the division saw Narberth Seconds lose 2-0 at home against Hundleton, while St. Florence lost 4-0 away at Pennar Robins.

In Division Four, Carew Seconds lost 6-0 away at Goodwick, with Kilgetty losing 7-0 away at Herbrandston.

Meanwhile, Saundersfoot Sports' reserves drew 1-1 at home against Johnston, with Ian Morris grabbing the home team's goal.

St. Clears were in cup action in Division Five, taking part in the first leg of the division's quarter-final against Pembroke Boro. Although they won 2-1 thanks to goals from Simon Bancroft and Andrew Edwards, player manager Lloyd Evans knows it may not be enough.

"We played really well and created lots, but didn't put them away. If we had, we would have been in a better position for the next leg. As it stands, we may be in the lead, but they have that all-important away goal. We'll have to be on our toes for the next game."

Elsewhere, Lawrenny lost 6-0 away at West Dragons, while the game between Pendine and Tenby was postponed.
