The eagerly-awaited Senior Cup derby clash between Saundersfoot Sports and Carew didn't disappoint, unless you happened to support the visitors after Carew lost out 5-4 on penalties.
With both sides making a solid if unspectacular start to the league campaign, both managers were keen to test their teams against each other for future bragging rights and in the cruellest of fashion, Saundersfoot hold the upper hand.
A breakaway goal by Nicky Cope gave Saundersfoot the lead in the first half, the first 20 minutes of which, they totally dominated. Carew replied with a goal by Nielsen Cole in the second half, pushing the game into extra-time, with James Caine and Ben Evans making some spectacular saves that extended the match into penalties.
The home side took all of theirs, while Carew's Kris Stone was unsuccessful with his, although manager Barry Evans had nothing but praise for his team.
"I thought it was an excellent game and a draw would have been a fair result. It doesn't work like that in the cup though and we lost out in a cruel way. It could have gone either way and I'm very proud of the lads."
Andrew Spencer's thoughts on the match are in stark contrast to his opponent, thinking the best side definitely won.
"I don't think we played that well apart from the first 20 minutes. We had lots of chances and were the better side. Their 'keeper kept them in it, so I think it's a fair result. We were the better side on the day."
Kilgetty's season keeps going from bad to worse. Without a point in the league thus far, they have now been dumped out of the Senior Cup following a 10-4 defeat at the hands of Second Division Monkton Swifts.
The final margin couldn't have been predicted at half--time, though, as the home side trailed 5-3, although at one stage they were 4-1 down, yet a series of sloppy goals in the second period cost them any chance of progressing any further in this year's campaign.
Manager Norman James had no excuses about the loss, although he does believe the visitors would easily hold their own in the First Division.
"I think they are a good side and are much better than some sides in the First Division. We didn't play well to be honest; we gave away some soft goals again. It's disappointing, but that's football."
The home team's goals were shared between Adam Johns and Mike Scale with two apiece, the final one coming as a consolation right at the end of the game.
Pendine lost 2-0 at home against Neyland, while St. Clears' manager Charlie Smith was left bitterly disappointed by his team's 4-2 loss at home against Angle.
"It's embarrassing really. They only had 10 men and we've been playing well over the last two weeks, so I would have expected us to get something from it.
"It was a very poor performance and in all honesty they could have scored more."
Colin Reynolds gave the home side a spectacular start as he rammed in a volley from 20 yards within five minutes, but the visitors rallied to go 4-1 ahead, prior to Lloyd Evans pulling one back just before the break.
If the first half was a goal fest, then the second was anything but, as no further scores came, even though Angle had the Lion's share of possession.
Lawrenny were another team to fall at the first hurdle as they travelled away to play Milford Athletic. The visitors play their football a division below the home side and the difference showed as the Athletic ended up 4-0 winners
Narberth had a tricky away encounter at West Dragons, yet they progressed into the next round courtesy of a 4-1 win.
Goals by Richie Adams and Ade Jones gave the Bluebirds a 2-0 lead at the break, before some Adams magic in the box increased the lead in the second.
The home side pulled one back, yet substitute Joules Ward, playing just his second game of the season, scored with his first touch to add the finishing touch to a good all-round performance.
"It was straightforward enough," said manager Nigel Thomas. "I just wished we would have gone for the kill. We could have doubled that score really. We've got some players coming back from injury, so we're looking good now; we're going to be much stronger."
Tenby may have gone through thanks to a 3-1 win away at Pembroke Boro, yet manager Mike Lewis wasn't totally satisfied by the 3-1 victory. The Seasiders' boss believes his young side should have shown more commitment against the Division Three outfit.
"Everyone expected a cricket score and perhaps our boys did too. It was a bit lacklustre really. Fair play to them, they kept battling all the way, but I think we need to take sides like this a bit more seriously."
An Alex Harley goal gave the visitors the lead after 40 seconds and perhaps this golden start gave them false confidence, for the home side equalised before the break.
Mike Beynon spared Tenby any blushes with two second half goals and, although the home side didn't really threaten after the break, the margin of victory could have been greater.
Meanwhile in league action, Tenby Seconds got back to winning ways following a 3-1 away win at Pennar Robins. Tom Baker, Ashley Andrews and Jimmy Thomas scored the goals for the Seasiders in a dominant display.
In Division Four, Carew Seconds lost 2-1 at home to Milford Athletic, their goal coming from a Lee Watkins penalty, while St. Florence had a narrow 3-2 win over Fishguard Sports thanks to goals from Colin Batley, Jamie Roberts and Ashley Smith.
Saundersfoot Sports' Seconds lost 3-2 away at St Ishmaels. despite goals from Jamie Morgan and Dan Storey. while in Division Five, St. Clears' second team travelled to Lawrenny and came home with no points to show for their efforts as they lost 3-1.
Playing with just 10 men, the Saints made life difficult for the home side, yet they never really challenged the hosts, despite a fine score from Craig Weston.
Lawrenny's goals were scored by Brad Jenkins and a Sam Mills brace, leaving manager John Beff a satisfied man on the day.
"They made it hard for us, but we stuck at it and deserved the win in the end against a good side."
