Kilgetty AFC

Saturday the 16^th saw the under nines at home to Hundleton.

The last meeting between these two teams was decided by an own goal in Hundleton’s favour and this match also saw an own goal feature in the final result.

A tight match saw Hundleton take the lead in the first half but Kilgetty kept up their spirits and continued to exert pressure on the visitors. This pressure paid dividends as a, second half, Hundleton own goal put Kilgetty back in the game.

Shortly after, a burst forward from striker Oliver North saw him score the winning goal.

On the final whistle both players and fans were delighted with their second win of the season. All players showed equal determination and skill and so share the man of the match award.

The last two weeks have seen Kilgetty under 9s suffer two defeats.

The first at home to Tenby was not without its positives. In a previous meeting Tenby had put 13 goals past Kilgetty’s newly formed team but all those watching this rematch saw vast improvements as kilgetty limited the travelling side to 5 goals.

Alex Thomas, the man of the match, and the rest of the defence held up very well and often frustrated the Tenby attack.

Last weekend saw a depleted team travel to S.T.P to play Prendergast Villa. After holding Prendergast at 0 - 0 for the first 15 minutes, Prendergast eventually found a way through, just before the close of the first half.

The second half saw the home team attack in numbers and, despite two very good chances from Kilgetty on breakaway counter attacks, the game ended 6 -0 to the home side.

Saturday the 26th saw Kilgetty under 9s travelling to Narberth.  Buoyed by success away to Solva in their last match the team’s spirits were high and the game was hard fought.

The final score of 3 – 0 to Narberth was in no way a reflection of the game with both sides having near equal possession of the ball.  The deadlock was broken just before half time when a goalmouth scramble, which including an excellent save by Harry Phillips, was eventually poked home from close range. 

Kilgetty had their chances but Narberth saw off the attacks and completed their victory with two more goals in the second half.

Man of the match this week was Ross Williams for his dogged defending and surging runs out of defence to clear Kilgetty’s lines.

Kigetty Under 9s recorded their first win of this season with a 1 - 0 triumph over Solva.  Whilst the manager was keen for the boys to travel to Solva the night before, it may well have been the early start, and the long drive, north across the county, that was the magic ingredient!

Man of the match was Harri, for an outstanding performance in goal, keeping a clean sheet which meant that the team always had a chance of snatching that ellusive victory.
