There was whole feast of matches in the Manderwood Pembrokeshire AFL last Saturday, with teams looking to give themselves a late Christmas/early New Year’s gift.

In Division One, there was a big game between Carew and Merlins Bridge.

Going into the match, the hosts were three points behind their rivals, so a win for either side would have been huge.

It was Carew’s day as they won the game 2-1 to move ahead of the Wizards in the league table. Fraser Findlay and Jack Christopher were the heroes for home side.

There was an early New Year treat for spectators at the Neyland v Narberth match as they witnessed a five-goal thriller.

The game ended 3-2 in Narberth’s favour, with Ben John, Ben Stevens and Lloyd Hughes getting on the scoresheet. Max Bowman-Davies and Jason Griffiths scored for Neyland.

Saundersfoot Sports ended 2019 without a single win so far this season as they lost 5-1 at home to Pennar Robins.

Tom Harries pulled one back for his side as they remain at the bottom of the pile.

St. Clears’ game with Clarbeston Road was postponed due to poor weather.

There was embarrassment for Lawrenny in Divison Two as they lost 8-0 at home to Milford United.

Kilgetty’s game with Herbrandston was also postponed due to the poor weather.

Moving on to Division Three, Cosheston AFC suffered a humiliating 7-1 defeat away to Clarbeston Road II.

The only positive thing was Michael Burgess scoring for the visitors.

Carew’s II game with Haverfordwest CC was postponed, with Pendine’s match with Pembroke Boro also getting called off.

Narberth II’s bid to avoid relegation from Division Four took a blow after they were beaten 3-1 by Neyland II.

Lewys Pennington scored what turned out to be a consolation for the home side.

It was normal service for Tenby who scored double figures once again as they won 11-2 against neighbours St Florence.

Jamie Mansbridge and Daryl Mansbridge both scored hat-tricks, while Mike Ryder and Cameron Ennis scored two each. Ashley Farmer completed the rout.

Jake Clarke and Ashley Smith were on the scoresheet for St Florence.

Finally in Division Five, Angle played out a 1-1 draw with Milford Athletic II, with James Davies scoring for the hosts.

Pembroke Boro II will go into the new year in high spirits following their victory over Saundersfoot Sports.

The hosts smashed their opponents 13-0. The game will be remembered for the goal-scoring heroics of Jason Evans, who bagged four, with Owen Wallace and Andy Evans both netting hat-tricks.

Joey Williamson, Stuart Slater and Ray Lo completed the scoring.
