Kilgetty's unhappy season continues as they slumped to yet another defeat following a 4-0 defeat away at Johnston.
The only bright spot in an otherwise disappointing afternoon for Norman James and his men was the performance of three 16-year-olds who made up the back three.
Sam Franklin in goal pulled off some memorable saves to keep the teams tied at 0-0 during the break, while Anthony Lewis and Ryan Lewis both excelled just in front of him against strong, pacy and skilful forwards.
Given the amount of pressure exerted by the home side, it was inevitable they would eventually pass through the young guns' defences, yet manager James had nothing but praise for his young charges, despite leaking four goals in the second half.
"To be fair, they could have been three up by half-time and it was only through a series of fine saves by Sam that we kept the score down until late in the game.
"I've got no complaints though. They were the better side and we created few opportunities and that showed in the scoreline."
Lightning isn't meant to strike twice, yet try saying that to Narberth boss Steve Jones after he stood on the sidelines to witness his team draw a game they were winning until the last kick of the game.
After drawing 3-3 with Johnston last week when the Tigers scored a last minute equaliser, Narberth, away at Pennar Robins with a weakened team following four late withdrawals, were winning 3-2 when the home side scored in the last minute to deny them some much-needed win points.
"I thought we were going to do it this week," said a disappointed Jones.
"Considering we lost four players in the morning with this sickness bug that is going around, our boys produced a gladiatorial performance against a good side.
"It was an heroic team performance and Richie Adams and Ashley Williams were outstanding in midfield against experienced opposition.
"It's tough to take, but if you had said we would have drawn the game 3-3 against them, especially after the withdrawals, I would have taken it, but we could have had six points in the last two weeks and we've only had two, and when you need them like we do, it's tough to take."
Narberth took a 2-0 first half lead through a Kyle Quartermaine goal, before Jordan Williams added a second soon after. Pennar responded to make it 2-1 prior to the break and scored another early in the second, before an Adi Jones goal looked to have given the visitors the lead and the three points 15 minutes before time; and then lightning struck again.
Tenby lost out to Goodwick United in last year's senior cup and that fate befell them again as they were beaten away from home.
The Phoenix Park outfit crept through to the semi-finals thanks to a solitary second half strike just after the break to win 1-0.
The visitors had opportunities to take the lead in the first half, yet failed to convert their chances, and those missed opportunities proved costly in the end as Goodwick celebrated a cup win over the Seasiders for the second year in succession.
St. Clears' hopes of a much-needed win were scuppered after a lacklustre performance saw them lose 6-0 away at Angle.
A win against the home side would have seen Charlie Smith's team climb out of the relegation zone one point above Pendine, yet the defeat leaves them rooted firmly to the bottom of the division two table.
The Saints conceded three goals in each half to pave the way to a defeat, leaving Smith less than impressed.
"It was a very poor result for us and a very poor performance. I'm really disappointed. It was a good close game for the first 20 minutes, but as soon as they scored the first we capitulated."
Such has been Carew's form of late that there are murmurings within the club walls that promotion could be on the cards. Barry Evans's team lay in fifth position, 11 points off leaders Milford United, so there is still work to do, yet who would bet against them? This time last year they were battling relegation, today, they can stake a claim to being one of the best teams in division two.
On Saturday, they won their 10th game of the season after a 3-0 away win at Camrose.
Playing against the wind in the first half, an Ian Sefton strike put them 1-0 up with the in-form striker adding another early in the second, before James Hinchliffe confirmed the win with the third and final goal.
Manager Evans said the team's spirit is reflecting in their results.
"The team is full of confidence. We had five boys out on Saturday, so I was a bit concerned before the game, especially after losing to them in the cup, but I didn't need to be.
"The boys that came in did really well and, although we had three 17-year-olds in midfield, their inexperience didn't show as it was probably our best display of the season."
Saundersfoot manager Andrew Spencer failed to find any positives from his team's performance on Saturday after they lost 2-1 at home to lowly placed Letterston.
The visitors, placed second from bottom, were good value for their victory, with Spencer claiming they fully deserved their win.
"It was a dreadful performance by us. None of us turned up, whereas they did. They knew what they wanted to do and they did it. We didn't."
Richard Cope gave the home team hope with a goal to take them into the lead, yet a goal in each half by the visitors gave them the points and the home side nothing to show for their efforts.
After knocking them out of the division two cup, Pendine would have had high hopes of defeating Goodwick's second team again in the league, but those hopes were dashed after first team regular Rhys Dalling played for the visitors to put four goals past the Gulls.
The 4-1 defeat means Pendine are still placed third from bottom with just two points separating the bottom three.
With home advantage, Pendine had the better chances in the first half, yet went into the break tied at 0-0 whereupon, Dalling and his men stepped up their game to take it away from the home side.
They went four goals up without reply, before Ian Derbyshire scored a consolation right at the death. Manager Frank Roberts said their finishing needs work.
"At half-time I thought we would go on to win it as we were the better side, but their pace over the top caught us napping in the second half and we paid the price.
"We had enough chances to win it after our first half performance, but our finishing let us down."
Narberth seconds tied 3-3 with Lawrenny in division three. The Bluebirds trailed 2-0 in the first half, before a Julian Blewitt goal reduced the deficit just before half-time.
Callum O'Connell then grabbed the first of his brace to draw the sides level, before adding another to sneak the home team ahead, before Lawrenny dealt a killer blow with the last kick of the game to steal a draw from the jaws of defeat.
"We should have won it really," said Adrian Howells. "We started slowly, but got into it and the second goal gave us heart, but it was a sucker punch at the end when they scored."
A Mo Safin goal gave Tenby seconds a win away at Haverfordwest Cricket Club, while three goals by Ben Hall and two by Ricky Rees-Thomas were enough for Manorbier United to win 5-1 at home against Pembroke Boro.
A goal apiece by Rob Beynon, Tom Watkins and Ryan Howells was not enough to prevent Fishguard from winning 7-3 at Kilgetty, while at Carew, a goal by Rhys Davies failed to prevent Johnston seconds taking the spoils following a 3-1 win.
St Florence remain in third position following their 13th win of the season at home to Clarbeston Road's second team. Ashley Smith scored yet another hat-trick, while a brace from Scott Smith was enough to see them beat the visitors 5-2.
In division five, St Clears' seconds won 2-0 against Fishguard's reserves as Chris Evans grabbed a brace for the winning team, but there was no joy for Lawrenny as they lost 6-0 at home to Neyland.
