The cold snap came back with a vengeance over the weekend as frozen pitches throughout the county prevented many games taking place.

Whenever the weather intervenes, Pendine are often one of the first teams to postpone their matches, yet the west Carmarthenshire club managed to avoid another weekend of thumb twiddling by entertaining Goodwick United Seconds in the second division cup quarter-final. Had the game not taken place, then it would have almost certainly have been switched to Goodwick's Phoenix Park to prevent a further backlog of fixtures as can often be the case when teams are forced to cancel matches.

Few would have given Pendine much hope in winning this one despite home advantage. Goodwick are fourth in the league, while the Seagulls are third from bottom, yet the home side eased to a 3-1 win, with Robbie Waters netting all three.

With a full squad to choose from, the difficulty Pendine faced was who to leave out prior to kick-off. One player they were not going to leave out was Adam Pattenden, the specialist goalkeeper, who makes such a difference to their side.

Having been unavailable of late, he eased back into the game and proved his worth with a series of fine stops when called into action. His return allowed Steve Jones to play up front, thus strengthening the team in another position.

Pendine manager Frank Roberts believes his side can go all the way in the competition, despite playing high-flying Monkton in the next round.

"We're a Jekyll and Hyde team, but that's the nature of the beast with us at the moment.

"On this kind of form, Monkton don't frighten us. They're a good side, but so are we on our day, as we showed on Saturday."

Narberth are another good side on their day, despite their lowly division one position at present, and they showed this with a hard fought 2-1 away win at home against Hundleton.

It was touch and go whether the game would take place, such was the firmness of the ground, but the referee declared the pitch playable and Narberth will be thankful that he did.

"We played some of the best football I have seen us play for a long time," said manager Steve Jones. "The boys were solid at the back, while Richie Adams was back to his Welsh League best and he made a difference to us.

"We've not had much luck recently, but I think that's turned for us now and it was an excellent win for us."

The luck Jones is referring to came in the 92nd minute when Hundleton had a goal disallowed for hand ball. Not surprisingly, they were up in arms about the decision as the goal would have given them a share of the spoils, yet had they taken more chances in the first half, the disallowed goal would have counted for little.

Taking an early lead, the visitors were the dominant outfit at the outset, with Narberth barely in the game.

Fortunately, the back four of Morgan Preece, Kyle Quartermaine, Ashley Williams and Matthew Lloyd were in inspired form and their solidity at the rear filled the side with confidence. Jordan Williams was full of running in midfield and it was no surprise when Raff Barnett equalised before half-time.

Richie Adams stole the winner 20 minutes from time and despite a late fightback and that disallowed goal, Narberth were good value for the win.

Carew maintained their excellent form of late with a comfortable 3-0 away win at Milford Athletic. Prior to the game, Carew boss Barry Evans had reservations about the fixture, thinking the home side could be something of a banana skin for his team. He needn't have worried.

From the start, the visitors showed their intent by going close on two occasions, despite playing up the notorious slope.

They finally got their reward when Brian Hall opened the account to make it 1-0 at the break, while Ian Sefton scored the second just after the turnaround.

James Hinchliffe then put the game to bed before the Athletic lost their cool and had their 'keeper sent off. Despite creating more chances, Carew were unable to find the back of the net for a fourth time, although manager Evans wasn't too downbeat about that.

"The boys are playing really well at the moment. That's three games we've won on the bounce and we're confident of going to 'Tish on Saturday and getting something from it.

"That will be a tough game, but we thought this one would be and they didn't have a sniff at goal. We're playing some good football at the moment and we were too good for them on Saturday."

Narberth Seconds didn't have such a fruitful afternoon, however, as they travelled to Broad Haven and lost 7-1. Had it not been for a fine performance in goal by young Dan James, the result could have been much worse.

Trailing 2-0 at half-time, despite Adrian Howells and Ryan Williams going close, the Bluebirds pulled one back through Callum O'Connell, who almost added a second , but had his one-on-one effort saved.

The home side then scored from a penalty which sunk the heads of the visitors and proceeded to score almost at will and they would have done had James not performed such heroics in goal.

"I think we were a little ring rusty," admitted player manager Adrian Howells. "That was our first game in six weeks and it showed.

"We were good up to a point, but when they scored from the penalty our heads dropped and the game was lost from there."

St. Florence travelled to Camrose and won 5-1 against their seconds with a dominant display that resulted in a brace apiece for Colin Batley and Ashley Smith. Scott Smith got the other in a one-sided display that showed what a good side they can be.

Both sides from Kilgetty, Tenby and St Clears were unable to play due to the adverse weather conditions.
