HAKIN United reinforced their dominance in the Manderwood Pembrokeshire League Division One with a staggering 13–2 victory over Fishguard Sports on Saturday, maintaining their 10-point cushion at the summit.

Ashley Bevan was unstoppable, netting a double hat-trick to soar to the top of the league’s scoring charts with 13 goals this season. Liam Park added a well-taken hat-trick, while Kieran King (2), Matthew Broome, and Mark Jones also got in on the act. Fishguard’s Haydn Hughes and Anthony Couzens grabbed consolation goals in an otherwise one-sided affair.

Meanwhile, third-placed Tenby slipped further behind after a 5–1 home defeat to St Ishmaels at The Clicketts. Scott Ferney opened the scoring from the spot, but Tish responded swiftly through Aaron Hallam, who then turned provider for Tyler Sheil’s go-ahead goal. Brennan Devonald made it 3–1 early in the second half, and Sol Goodall added a fourth before substitute Ieuan Hawkins sealed the win late on.

Monkton Swifts kept pace with Hakin, hammering Pennar Robins 7–0 to remain 10 points adrift with a game in hand. James Russell, William Davies, and Liam Butland gave the Swifts a 3–0 lead at the break. Davies completed his brace after the interval, with Jason Finnegan, James Walker, and Dylan Davies rounding off the rout.
