Monkton Swifts moved up to fourth place in Manderwood Pembrokeshire Division One with a 4-1 away victory over Merlins Bridge.

The Swifts raced into an early lead with Jamie Wilkes scoring in the 2nd minute thanks to an assist from 16 years old Jonathan Lee.

Ben Steele then doubled the lead in the 11th minute with a free-kick just outside the Bridge penalty box flying into the net - watch video.

The hosts halved the deficit in the 21st minute when Steff Williams scored, thanks to an assist directly from goalkeeper Dan Devine.

As the Wizards pushed on searching for an equaliser in the second half, they were punished by two injury-time goals from the visitors.

Youngster Jonathan lee got on the scoresheet in the 94th minute with an assist from fellow teenager Jack Clarke, before Jamie Wilkes added another with an assist for 19 years old Noah Davison.

The result moves Monkton Swifts up to fourth place in the table but with only one game left to play, they are likely to be overtaken by over teams in the top half. After a mixed campaign, there will be plenty of positives to take into next season with a talented group of youngsters at the club.
