Football Preview for 4th October 2008
Daisy’s out to beat the expert
Bernie Armstrong’s five week spell as tipster ended with him battling bravely but being pipped by a single point by our expert – so hard lines Bernardo!
This week we are delighted to welcome David ‘Daisy’ Picton of Hakin United fame, to start a month as our tipster and have set him something of a challenge to start since there are West Wales Cup matches to preview.
We have selected ten matches for Daisy to try and beat our expert, who is a top man and knows all about football in Carmarthenshire and Swansea so watch out Daisy!
Fixtures:
Blaenymaes 1 St Ishmaels 1 - (Tish win 7-6 on penalties)

Milford United 1 Monkton Swifts 2 (aet)
Murton Rovers 1 Neyland 3
Narberth 6 Evans & Williams 2
Pontarddulais Town 2 Hakin United 0
Ragged School 2 Pennar Robins 0
Solva 5 Calsonic Kansei 2
Daisy’s Scorecasts:
Blaenymaes 3 St Ishmaels 1
Tish are not the best travellers and might struggle here!
Clarbeston Road 4 Gowerton Juniors 3
Gowerton have started the season well but Clarbie are no mugs now. It could be a high-scoring match before Clarbie ease through.
Goodwick United 3 Carreg Wen Colts 1
I think Goodwick will be too strong for Carreg Wen, who play in Division Two of the Swansea league, especially playing at home.
Merlins Bridge 3 Pengelli United 1
The Bridge are looking strong again and they will win by at least two goals.
Milford United 1 Monkton Swifts 3
Milford United are bonny cup battlers and they will be up for claiming a surprise scalp but the Swifts should be far too experienced to allow that.
Murton Rovers 3 Neyland 1
Murton are struggling in Division Three of the Swansea League but Neyland might be without a couple of key players and could bow out at this early stage.
Narberth 2 Evans & Williams 4
Narberth will push Evans & Williams all the way but the visitors have won all four games so far to sit top of the Swansea League so they are favourites to win.
Pontarddulais Town 1 Hakin United 4
The Bont are eighth in Division One of the Carmarthenshire League so must be able to play a bit but I believe we will be too strong for them if we hit top form.
Ragged School 2 Pennar Robins 0
Ragged School are traditionally strong in this competition and with home advantage might just be too strong for Pennar with home advantage.
Solva 3 Calsonic Kansei 2
Calsonic might be third in Division One in Carmarthenshire but Solva love playing at home, especially if it is windy, and should edge through by the odd goal.
