With Morgan Preece and Kyle Quartermaine back in Narberth colours after each serving a three-match ban, the Bluebirds would have been optimistic of overcoming the stiff challenge posed by Haverfordwest County on Saturday.

Considering the pair hadn't played for close on two months due to the Christmas break and cancellations due to the weather, they both gave a good account of themselves, although they were unable to help their side over the winning line as the teams settled for a 1-1 draw.

Conditions at Jesse Road were not good. With the pitch still sticky from weeks of heavy rain and a stiff breeze blowing in from the town end, it made playing football difficult; that said, the sides served up a treat for those watching.

Playing against the wind in the first half, the home side only had one shot at goal, yet the visitors were the dominant side. Fortunately, Geraint Nicholas was inspirational between the sticks and he pulled off some great saves to keep the teams level at the break.

With the hard work done and confidence high, it was a shock to see Narberth 1-0 down early in the second half, yet Preece showed just why he has been missed so much by his team as he produced a well-weighted cross that Jordan Williams put in the back of the net.

The goal should have been the catalyst for Narberth to go on and win the game and it very nearly was, but Ade Jones struck the post and Kyle Quatermaine's lob struck the crossbar, although some thought it ricocheted behind the line before spinning back out again.

With goal line technology not available, the players had to settle for a share of the points, with spokesman Steve Jones thinking on reflection, it was probably the best result.

"We were under the cosh for the first half, but kept in the game and after we had scored we were the team on top. We could have gone on to win the game given more luck, but considering the first half, it was probably a fair result."

Draws seemed to be the order of the day in division one, with Tenby another team taking a share of the spoils after their 3-3 result at home to Hundleton.

They had to dig deep to get the result, however, after going 1-0 down at the break and then 2-0 down early in the second. The fact they came back was largely in part to the great form of Billy Vaughan in midfield. His vision and distribution was the catalyst for Tenby creating many opportunities.

They pulled one back when Daryl Mansbridge secured a penalty after being felled in the box, allowing Jordan Richards to convert, before a Mansbridge goal pulled the teams level.

Hundleton then went ahead late on through a debatable penalty, before a last-ditch sortie up field saw Dean Rossiter score with the final kick of the game.

"I can't fault the way we played," said manager Mike Lewis. "We played some superb stuff considering the conditions. We did enough to win it really, we just didn't convert all our chances."

Kilgetty manager Allen Hurst has long maintained his side are capable of winning on good pitches and so it proved away at Lamphey as his side shocked the footballing fraternity with a sensational 7-0 win.

Needing a win to climb out of the relegation zone, the Kingsmoor outfit delivered against one of the better teams in division two.

Adam James was the hero of the day, finishing with four goals as Ross Hurst, Josh Bevan and the returning Ryan Howells all contributed to their team's success.

Understandably, Hurst was ecstatic about the result.

"We played well against a decent team and it just shows what we can do when conditions are in our favour."

Saundersfoot won again, putting them in a good position for a push for promotion, although they had to come from behind to secure a 3-1 win away at Angle.

A series of missed chances in the first half ensured they went into the break 1-0 down, but they re-grouped to take the second half by storm, with all three second half goals coming from corners.

Dan Bates converted twice, before Nick Cope added the third and final goal into Angle's coffin, leaving manager Sam Coleman relieved yet coy about the chances of going up.

"We're taking it game by game. We've got a great group of players who are all really close, so it would be great if we could. As long as we don't get ahead of ourselves, we have a great chance. It's our best chance in years."

Carew had a hard fought win at home to Letterston, with James Buckle's solitary strike being the only difference between the sides.

Buckle, who only re-signed for the club in the week leading up to the game, was the difference, according to manager Barry Evans, who is more than happy to have the star striker back.

"When he asked to come back from Lawrenny I had no hesitation in signing him, he's a great player for us and fits into our team, so it was no surprise to see him score.

"We could have won this by more, but didn't take our chances, although with Buckle back, hopefully the goals will start going in."

Pendine secured their sixth point of the season following a 2-2 home draw with Narberth seconds. The result still sees the Gulls rooted to the foot of the table, yet against a team with an outside chance of promotion it proves they are more than capable of staying in division three.

Two goals from Robert Thomas put the home side 2-0 up at the break, but Narberth dug deep to recover in the second.

Ryan Williams secured a penalty after being felled in the box, allowing Mike Ryder to convert from the spot, with Callum O'Connell equalising with 15 minutes to go.

On top during the final quarter, Narberth could have snuck the win, but a Mike Jolly volley struck the post with just five minutes to go, leaving Narberth boss Adrian Howells frustrated about the result.

"If we had played in the first half like we did in the second we would have won the game, but fair play to Pendine they never gave up and made it difficult for us."

St. Clears manager Craig Weston thought their unbeaten league record was going to be broken during their home clash against Haverfordwest Cricket Club as the visitors led 1-0 until late in the second half.

With four minutes remaining, Dorian Davies scored with a penalty and with the last kick of the game, Sean Seymour-Davies scored the winner after good work by Owain Evans.

"It was a scrappy game to be honest," said Weston. "They got into us and made it difficult.

"When we equalised I would have settled for a draw, but fair play to the boys, they kept going and got the reward in the end."

Manorbier have started 2012 with a bang and their good form continued as they defeated Broad Haven 5-2 away from home.

Neil Lane was the hero as he slammed in a hat-trick, with Sam Reeve and Ben Hall the others to get on the scoresheet.

Tenby seconds were indebted to Jack Lawrence and Sam Christopher as they drew 2-2 away at Johnston, while Lawrenny showed there is life after James Buckle as they beat Pennar seconds 3-0.

Dean Morris, Joe Kidney and Owen James were the goal scorers as they eased to a fine win.

Carew seconds won 2-1 away at Monkton, while Saundersfoot Sports won their derby against St. Florence 3-1.

Ashley Smith grabbed the Saints' only score as he converted a penalty, while Dan Storer, Phil Horsley and Jamie Morgan scored for the Sports.

Goals were the order of the day for both Kilgetty sides as their seconds slammed in six against their counterparts from Lawrenny.

Lawrenny scored two of their own through Mike Howe and Tom Lewis, but they were never in the hunt as the Beynon brothers, Rob and Mike, both finished with a brace. Dean Morgan scored the other as the home side eased to three points.

St. Clears' seconds are in the semi-final of the division five cup after a 2-0 win against West Dragons.

Lloyd and Jack Davies ensured it was a good afternoon for the Saints as they secured a great win against tough opponents.

Finally, Manorbier United's seconds went down to a heavy defeat as they lost 9-1 at Hundleton, with Mike Brown scoring their only goal.
