Division One

Merlins Bridge 1-1 Hakin United

Home Goal: Nick Squire

Away Goal: Justin Harding

With the majority of games across Pembrokeshire being called off due to the adverse weather conditions, this was one fixture that was almost never in doubt with Merlins Bridge playing at the Pembrokeshire Sports Village.

Hakin went into the fixture following a disappointing exit in the Senior Cup whilst Merlins Bridge were looking to make it three consecutive wins for the first time this season following impressive victories over Neyland and Monkton Swifts.

Nick Squire gave the home side the lead, nodding in at the far post from Will Evans well-delivered corner.

The Wizards thought they had secured all three points, keeping the Vikings at bay until injury time when substitute player-manager Justin "Skinny" Harding found the net with an excellent finish finding the bottom corner from a tight angle.

Hakin United 2nds 1-1 Johnston

Home Goal: Callum Stannett

Away Goal: Kieran Blundell

The Tigers had taken the lead early on with the Vikings reduced to ten men when Captain Hayden Dimond was sent off for a challenge on goalkeeper Andrew Fairbairn who subsequently had to come off.

Pembroke Borough 2-10 Goodwick United 2nds

Division Four

Carew 3rds 7-1 New Hedges Saundersfoot United

Home Goals: James Hinchliffe x2, Unknown, Harvey Drummond x4

A frustrating afternoon for previously undefeated New Hedges Saundersfoot United who faced a Carew 3rds team taking full advantage of the postponed Senior Fixtures to field a strong side and pick up their first win of the season.

New Hedges Saundersfoot United had taken the lead early on in the game and went in to break with the scores level, but a flurry of second-half goals saw their winning run come to an end.

Angle 2-3 Newport Tigers

Home Goal: James Potter x2

Away Goals: Danny Williams x2, Geoffrey Potter

With only one league defeat in the league so far, Newport Tigers showed that they are also in the promotion race with a victory on the road.
