Kilgetty manager Norman James must be wondering what his team have to do to secure some points this season. With just one point to show from 16 games, it's safe to say that the Kingsmoor outfit are relegation certainties, yet that doesn't mean a little bit of luck wouldn't go amiss.

Take Saturday's 1-0 away defeat at Neyland for an example; they played three 16-year-olds in their team, including the impressive Sam Franklin in goal, hit the bar twice in the first half through Matthew Hancock and Ryan Lewis and still didn't manage to score.

There are few certainties in sport, apart from the fact that when you're down, you're down and there's little you can do about it, except hold your head up high and keep trying.

James has instilled this in his team and they are not about to throw in the towel just yet, even though the odds of survival are against them and they gave a good account of themselves at Neyland, one of the toughest and most physical team's in the county.

"We played well to be fair," said Kilgetty's boss. "The three young lads all played well and despite going a goal down after five minutes we dug in there and deserved something from it.

"We definitely could have snuck a point or even a win, but it wasn't to be, but that's football."

Narberth are another side in desperate search of points and, although their predicament isn't as bad as Kilgetty's, a few points wouldn't go amiss at Jesse Road.

They travelled to Solva on Saturday, quite possibly the worst place to be on a wet and windy day, given the pitch is perched on top of a cliff, and lost 3-2.

Richie Adams and Tony Evans scored the goals for the visitors, but the home side snuck the points and the defeat leaves Steve Jones's men third from bottom, just one point above Herbrandston.

Tenby hosted the match of the day in division one as the Seasiders entertained Hakin at the Clicketts. With both teams on fire this year and playing a brand of football that few teams can manage, the potential was there for a clash of epic proportions and with the score tied at 1-1 come half-time, that looked to be the case.

Yet Hakin, playing against the wind in the second period, took control on the heavy pitch to inflict Tenby's first home league defeat in three years as they ended up 3-1 winners.

Hakin took an early lead before Jordan Richards equalised, but two goals in the last 10 minutes gave the Vikings the points and many pundits are predicting they will go on and win the league, despite lying in fourth position at present.

Despite the defeat, Tenby manager Mike Lewis had no complaints.

"The best team won. I was happy at half-time and we dealt with what they gave us, but they were superb in the second and sometimes, you just have to hold up your hand and say the best team won on the day."

Given the torrential downpours during the week, Pendine's players wouldn't have given much hope of playing their home clash against Goodwick in the quarter-finals of the Second Division Cup and this proved to be the case as their game was postponed, yet St. Clears travelled to Carew and lost 4-1.

The defeat puts the Saints second from bottom with just six points from 15 games and with less than 10 games to go, they will need to pull something out of the bag to avoid the drop down to division three.

A magnificent Colin Reynolds free-kick put the visitors 1-0 up in the first half, before the home team equalised through Ian Sefton, yet as good as Charlie Smith's team played in the first half, they were unable to use the conditions to their advantage in the second and paid the ultimate price as Carew shipped three goals past them without reply.

Sefton scored the second, before Brian Hall continued his prolific form to score a much-deserved brace of his own.

"It was the same as last week really," said Smith. "We played well in the first and matched them, yet they played the conditions better and we hardly got out of our half in the second.

"It's disappointing to be honest, we're better than that, but they deserved it in the end and I can't really complain."

Smith's thoughts were echoed by Carew boss Barry Evans, who heaped praise on Hall's magnificent form.

"He's on fire at the moment and is banging the goals in. He's training hard, putting the effort in and getting the rewards.

"Our second half performance was very good. We pinned them in their half and had enough quality to win the game."

Saundersfoot Sports had a day to forget away at Milford United as they lost 4-1. Dan Cope scored the visitors' only goal, with the defeat seeing them drop down a league place as Carew leapfrogged above them.

Manorbier United went down to a narrow 4-2 defeat at Haverfordwest Cricket Club. Gavin Evans scored the visitors' solitary legitimate goal, with the other coming courtesy of an own goal by the home side.

Tenby Seconds' push for promotion continues as they entertained Pembroke Boro and won 4-3.

Mo Safin scored twice for the home team, with Jack Lawrence and Marcus Lyons also finding the back of the net in an enthralling encounter at the Clicketts.

Narberth Seconds' game against Herbrandston Seconds was postponed due to the weather, while Kilgetty Seconds' home match against Carew Seconds was also postponed, as was St. Clears' second team game at home against their counterparts from Fishguard.

No such abandonments at St. Florence, however, as they entertained Prendergast Villa and won 1-0 thanks to yet another score by hot shot striker Ashley Smith.

Meanwhile, any footballers who are thinking of hanging up their boots at the end of the season yet fancy taking up the whistle are invited to attend a referees' course starting this Sunday at Neyland Athletic Club at 6.30 pm.

Due to a lack of numbers, the last course had to be cancelled, yet any prospective refs are asked to give course tutor Pedr McMullen a ring on 07979 308310 to find out more details.
