Narberth 2nds @NarberthAFC showed their battling determination to win the Division Five Cup on penalties on Tuesday night.

In an entertaining game, Narberth grabbed a late equaliser from the penalty spot through their goalkeeper Jason Jones to force extra-time. With a new lease of life, Narberth took the lead before a Hundleton found an equaliser themselves.

Narberth 2nds showed their composure, dispatching four good penalties including one from their goalkeeper Jones, to win the shoot-out 4-2.

It wasn’t to be for @HCAFCAcademy Development in the Cymru Premier Development League National Final this afternoon, as we go down 4-1 to a very strong @TNSAcademy at Latham Park.

Nonetheless, it has still been a successful season which saw us achieve beyond our expectations! 💙

Goodwick United 2nds @GoodwickUtd won the Division Thee Cup on Friday night with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Solva.

With 120 minutes played, nothing could separate the two sides after Dan Bryce and Kieran Price's goals.

After nine penalties each, Goodwick were finally crowned champions when Hayden Smith fired his penalty into the roof of the net.

New Hedges/Saundersfoot United @NHSU_FC won the Division Four Cup in style with an emphatic 7-1 victory over St Ishmaels 2nds last night.

It was a display of attacking prowess, with Adam Davidson scoring a hat-trick, Oscar Miles bagging a brace, along with goals for Evan Owen and Captain Geoff Marsh.

Alfie Crawford was the match winner for Johnston as they won the Division Two Cup with a 3-2 victory over Monkton Swifts 2nds on Wednesday night.

With the game finely poised at 2-2, Alfie found himself through on goal after an excellent ball played through over the top by his father Scott, with the 16 year old cooly finishing on the volley past the onrushing goalkeeper.

We look ahead to the Division Two Cup Final between Johnston @johnston_fc and Monkton Swifts 2nds @Mighty_Swifts, taking place on Wednesday 1st May, 7pm at the Ogi Bridge Meadow.

Monkton Swifts 2nds may be seen as favourites having already sealed the League title, but Johnston have proved their quality to reach the final having defeated the two promoted sides St Ishmaels and Herbrandston in the Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals respectively.

We take a look at both teams, catch up with the Captains and talk about what to expect going into the big game!

Clarbeston Road @CR_AFC_fans_YT showed their quality and determination with a 3-2 victory in the Manderwood Pembrokeshire Senior Cup Final over Goodwick United.

Whilst the Clarby players certainly would have believed they would have what was needed to get their hands on the trophy, the odds were still firmly stacked against them, up against a high-flying Goodwick side undefeated in the league who had already beaten them comfortably twice this season.

Despite the challenge laid before them, there was certainly a sense of "cup magic" in the air from the off which was no more evident than through electric atmosphere created by the Clarby fans as part of the 1,132 strong crowd at the Ogi Bridge Meadow.

What followed was 90 minutes of twists, turns, skill, grit and everything in between. A fantastic advert for Pembrokeshire football.
