Kilgetty AFC

The first away game of the season for Kilgettys’ under 9’s was under threat until the last minute due to illness and holidays.

We arrived at Clarbeston Road in the bright sunshine for an early kick-off, and were grateful that we had 8 players. The boys were asked to occupy new positions and given a new formation, and told not to get injured as we had no subs!

It took us a while to gel, and Clarby scored first, but it was 1-1 at half-time.  A see-saw second half saw Clarby go ahead again, but in the last minute, a goal-mouth scramble was turned in by Oliver Wheeler with his second goal, to leave a final score of Clarby Road ‘A’ Under 9’s 2 v Kilgetty Under 9’s 2. Well done boys on an excellent fighting spirit.

The Kilgetty senior first team returned to winning ways with a resounding defeat of Hubberston AFC in the first round of the Senior Cup.  Michael Beynon making the most of his chances with no less than four goals, taking his tally for the season to nine.

Third Division outfit Hubberston were no match for their first division opponents, but the Kilgetty management team will certainly take positives from this game.  Not least of which will be the solid defensive performance.

Hopefully this win will give the boys a bit of confidence going into the “must win” match against Prenergast Villa next week.

Kilgetty Under 9’s managed to maintain their 100% record in the bright sunshine, but were given a real scare by a Narbeth team making their debut in this age group.

Kilgetty were forced into personnel and positional changes through illness, and after a slow opening, found themselves 3-1 up by half-time.

The second half was more tightly contested, and by the final whistle Kilgetty were pleased to have hung on to record a 4-3 victory.

Goal-scorers were Oliver Griffin, Ben Harris, Ryan Scourfield, and an Own Goal, turned in off John Mansbridge’s shot.

A wet and windy Autumnal day greeted the two teams for the opening match of the Under 9’s  season, but the adverse weather conditions didn’t prevent a large and enthusiastic group of spectators from attending.

From the first whistle both teams gave 100%, and following an even opening, Kilgetty began to dominate and by half-time they were 2-0 up.

Tenby never gave up trying, but by full-time it was 6-0 to Kilgetty. The goal-scorers were Oliver Wheeler(4), Oliver Gamble, and Zac Rowell, but it  was  a complete team performance, so well done to Dylan Davies, Ben Harris, John Mansbridge, Ryan Scourfield, Ryan Moffatt and Oliver Griffin.
