The First XV entertained high flying Felinfoel with the match being sponsored by the Country Boys and Windmill Hill Farm and Caravan and Camping.

Prior to kick off the club held a short tribute to Felinfoel legend Phil Bennett, who was a regular visitor for this fixture.

In front of his son James, a large travelling support and a good home crowd, Calon Lan was played on the bagpipes, followed by a short period of clapping to honour this Welsh icon. 

The ensuing match was a well contested affair, with the home side giving a very good account of themselves; the visitors built a solid lead by half time, after three breakway tries in the first quarter.

Pembroke dominated territory for long spells throughout the whole game, but failed to penetrate a determined defence on a number of occasions.

The home side scored early in the second half and continued to pressurise without success, but the visitors showed their pedigree scoring two more tries to eventually run out worthy winners by 3-29, despite receiving three cards during the second half. 

The Youth played Narberth at home and after a bruising encounter, the visitors extra bulk and maturity allowed them to build pressure that they regularly turned into points to build a commanding score and eventually run out winners by 10-44. 

The Junior section were again out in force, with older age groups at Tenby and younger groups home to Llangwm.

There were a mixed bag of results, but one outstanding team performance was recorded by the U13s (pictured) in Tenby, where they won a pulsating match 19-53, which their coaches described as their most complete performance to date.

The U11, U15 and U16s squads have now progressed to the semi final stages of their respective Cup competitions, in search of places at the annual May weekend County Junior Finals Day. 

The Panthers were not in action last weekend but they entertain Clwb Rugby Cymru Caerdydd (CCRC) in the quarter finals of the WRU Cup competition Sunday next, KO 2.30 pm.  

Meanwhile the First XV entertain Llanelli Wanderers this Saturday, KO 2.30 pm and the Youth will be away in Crymych. 

Congrats to the 150 Super Draw winners for January, £500 Sara Alderman, £350 Wendy James, £230 Peter Baker and £200 Julie Cooper. 

Four of our U16s (Bowyn Clark, Zac Shaw, Keanu Williams and Owen Rickard) played for the Scarlets West v Cardiff last week, whilst Megan Cole has been chosen at No 12 (for her second match of this season’s regional games) in the Scarlets U18s women’s team to play Cardiff in the week ahead.
