Hakin 1-1 Pontlliw (5-4 after pens)

Hakin and Carew are through to the semi-finals of the West Wales Cup after impressive victories in the quarter-finals.

Hakin faced a tough task in the face of Pontlliw FC who had previously knocked out the Vikings league rivals Goodwick. The Carmarthen-based teams had been undefeated in the season so far and went ahead thanks to an early goal from Sam Rodon, the brother of Welsh international Joe Rodon.

Hakin stayed in the game and equalised in the second half with a goal from midfielder Jack Britton.

The game eventually went to penalties, where the Mighty Vikings held their nerve to win 5-4.

Evans & Williams 1-5 Carew (AET; 1-1 FT)

Carew eventually sailed through their quarter-final in style with an emphatic 5-1 victory after extra time away versus Evans & Williams.

The Pembrokeshire side might have gone into the tie underdogs, and the scoreline remained 0-0 at the half time break. The second half quickly exploded into life with a goal from star striker Adam Muskett, before both sides were reduced to ten men.

Ryan Foschi grabbed an 87th-minute equaliser for the home team to take the tie to extra time.

Carew were awarded a penalty in the 99th minute which Shaun Whitfield converted, opening the floodgates for a flurry of late goals from James Hinchliffe and a brace from Thomas Cole.

Division One

Goodwick United kept up their lead at the top of the table with a 4-2 home victory over Kilgetty. They marched into a 2-0 lead with first-half goals from the in-form Rhys Jones who turned provider for another in-form youngster Daniel James.

Kilgetty pulled one back early in the second half with a goal from Joshua Bevan before Goodwick forward Rhys Dalling doubled their lead once again. Rhys Jones grabbed another to make things comfortable for the hosts before Joshua Bevan also grabbed a brace with a goal in the 88th minute.

Merlins Bridge got back to winning ways with a 4-1 victory over Fishguard Sports. Nick Squire opened the scoring for the hosts (photo below) but Ieuan Llewellyn made it level going into the interval.

Nick Squire restored the lead with another goal early in the second half before goals from Jordan Richards and youngster Lewis Miller made sure of the victory for the Wizards.

Johnston 2nds continued their incredible form to make it 10 undefeated with 9 wins, with a 2-1 victory over 2nd place Saundersfoot.

The Tigers fell behind to a long-range strike from Rhys Bates but came out a different prospect in the second-half, grabbing an equaliser with Pete Donnelly knocking in Josh Knapp's corner.

An injury for forward Liam Watts saw Johnston revert to battling rearguard action before a late counter-attack saw Josh Knapp float in a half-volley chip to send the Tigers' fans wild.
