Saundersfoot Sports' good start to the season continued as they gained an excellent away win at Hundleton.

Against tricky opposition, the away side scored four and conceded two in an excellent all-round display in which Nicky Cope was the hero.

Cope certainly had his shooting boots on as he scored a fine hat-trick, with the other goal being scored by the home side.

Narberth have slipped to fifth place in the league following their first defeat of the season at home to Goodwick United.

The Bluebirds went down 4-1 at home against a side that has had a mixed season so far, but seemed to finally hit their straps at Jesse Road.

Morgan Preece's goal was the only bright spot for the home team as they went down to the heaviest defeat of the day in division one.

Tenby are still pointless and remain rooted to the foot of the table after they went down 2-1 at Solva. Darryl Mansbridge scored the Seasiders' only goal as they continue to search for the form they have shown in previous seasons.

Kilgetty bounced back from last week's defeat to record the biggest win of the day as they smashed Lamphey 10-3 in division two. The visitors were no match for the rampant home side as Mike Beynon proved his class by slamming in four goals.

Jack Franklyn and Ross Hurst were both on form to finish with a brace apiece, while the other goals were scored by Morgan Slate and Grant James.

Carew remain in the bottom three of division two after yet another defeat. They travelled to Milford United and came away with nothing following a 4-2 defeat. Adam Hughes and James Hinchliffe scored the goals for the away side, but defensive lapses allowed the Robins to sneak in for the win.

St. Clears' mixed season continued, however, as they went down 1-0 away at West Dragons to suffer their third defeat of the season.

Narberth seconds endured a heavy loss away at Hubberston as they lost 4-0, but it was better news for Pendine as they won their second game with a comprehensive 4-1 victory against Prendergast Villa seconds.

Dan Potter got the ball rolling and the goals flowed through Duanne Reynolds, Rob Thomas and Luke Ormond.

Tenby seconds had the bragging rights in their derby clash at home to Manorbier United.

The visitors lost out 3-1 against a rampant home team in which Mo Sofin, Liam Robson and Henry Lawrence scored the goals. David Blackwell gained the only goal for the visitors.

Carew seconds are hovering above the relegation zone after they lost 1-0 at home to Milford Athletic, while St. Florence continue to shine after they won their fourth game of the season with a 5-0 away victory at Neyland seconds.

Rhys Winter completed a hat-trick to help seal the rout, with Jack Beynon and Brett Evans also finding the back of the net.

In division five, Kilgetty seconds couldn't replicate the feat of the first team as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Letterston, while St. Clears entertained new boys Llangwm and were surprised as they lost 4-1. Simon Bancroft was the man to score the home team's solitary goal.

Manorbier United's second team entertained Solva seconds, but failed to make home advantage count as they lost 4-0. Better news for Lawrenny seconds, though, as they won 7-2 at Pembroke Boro.

Steve Campbell and Sam Davies both scored twice for the visitors, but it was John Beff who was smiling most after he finished the game with three to his name.

Frustration for Manorbier

A one armed man, hanging from a cliff with an itchy nose. A schoolboy arriving at the sweet shop with a month's worth of pocket money at 5.31pm. Paying 20p to use a railway-station toilet only to find that all the loo paper has all gone. Frus-tra-tion. Noun. Act of frustrating, state of being frustrated. A feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety, resulting from unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.

The start to Manorbier's season has been a tale of ifs and buts, of missed chances and close shaves, of unfavourable refereeing decisions which have turned the game, of contests that have been dominated but where points have dribbled through grasping fingers like raindrops in a desert.

Away to Tenby last Saturday, the game could not have been more different from the monumental blood-and-thunder contest of last season, as a slightly insipid display from both sides was the inevitable result of a referee applying the letter of the law, when had he squinted, he might have seen a more compelling storyline unfurling before him.

Manorbier were missing a clutch of regular players to illness and stagging, but this gave a group of talented and youthful understudies the chance to press their case for first team places. Having had a defensive line with a combined age of 138 (which included a 16-year-old) just two weeks previously, the back four now had a combined age of about 13 and Will, Blaine, Tom and James started the game with the youthful glow of a trainee boyband. There were, however, suspicions of some clandestine sunbed activity.

Carl, back in nets after a two-year first team hiatus, looked the part, being long and quite spindly. The midfield saw Blackwell and O'Neill re-united in the centre, with the flanks embellished by the fleet-footed talents of both Brandon Monaghan and Ben Hall. Up front, Spic had recovered from the Big-Daddy body-slam he was given by the Fishguard 'keeper the week before, and was partnered by Neil Lane - no longer a foreigner as he now has a Welsh daughter.

The game was played at a gentlemanly pace, with each team trading slightly effete blows. Both sides passed the ball neatly, and biting tackles were few and far between. But it was Manorbier who broke the deadlock, when Blackwell burst through the middle, skipped past a couple of players half his age, and slotted the ball in the bottom left corner past the on-rushing goalie Liam Robson.

It felt as though Manorbier would go on to control the game, which they did - until the turning point of the match just before half-time. A loose pass in midfield, a break by Tenby, a missed chance to clear by Manorbier, then a shot through a forest of players fizzed past the 'keeper, only to be saved by centre back Will with a spectacular dive. Whilst he had done his best to stop the ball with his body by launching himself like a John Terry salmon, the ball struck his arm. The ref, seeking to punctuate the narrative of the game with his own exclamation mark, unleashed his red card – and that, as they say, was that.

Like the love child of Rogerio Ceni and Jose Luis Chilavert (google it), Robson stepped up to scuff the penalty into the corner. 1-1, and the writing, like rubbish graffiti in a dilapidated provincial train station, was on the wall for 10-man Manorbier.

The rest of the game unfurled predictably. Tenby on the attack, often in slow motion as they passed the ball in front of Manorbier's banks of four. Manorbier playing on the break, struggling to support the lone-striker Spic. Chances at both ends, but Tenby ultimately winning 3-1, thanks in no small part to their numerical advantage granted by the ref. Having had goals disallowed, penalties not given, penalties awarded to the opposition and men sent off already this season, Manorbier feel as though they have unduly suffered at the hands of the on-pitch arbiters thus far. A trip to Camrose in the next game will hopefully see this frustrating trend come to a timely end.
