Pembrokeshire Primary Schools off to a flying start

Pembrokeshire Primary Schools Football Squad made a superb start to this season’s Welsh Schools’ campaign by taking all twelve points against South Ceredigion Schools on Sunday at Haverfordwest County A. F.C.  Coming under the wing of the Haverfordwest Academy means the squad now trains on a regular basis and the boys have benefited from playing together early on in the season.

Pembrokeshire ‘A’ 6 goals South Ceredigion  ‘A’ 1 goal

The Pembrokeshire boys played some very good team football before captain Scott Jones put them ahead early on in the first half – and  Jones added his second with a stunning long shot. Relentless pressure by Pembrokeshire, playing a breathtaking style of football, led to Archie Beaumont-Denning, Jack Parkinson and Luke Raymond all scoring before the break.

Daniel Davies and James Worrall played well on either flank while Jordan Cornick, Harry Goforth and Billy Truman  all defended solidly so Jack Broadhurst in the home goal had little to do in the first half. The second half saw a revitalized South Ceredigion side and Pembrokeshire had to work harder. They made several chances, but could not increase their lead. South Ceredigion  attacked well forcing some good saves by Broadhurst and they scored a consolation goal before the end of the game

Pembrokeshire dominated most of the game and again gelled well as a squad. Goals came thick and fast from Scott Jones (3), Daniel Davies (2), Archie Beaumont-Denning, Billy Truman and Jack Parkinson.

Pembrokeshire started out brightly with Dafydd Bevan and Luke Billing attacking well. Patrick Pearce and Jake Davies combined well and it wasn’t long before Pembs started scoring regularly. Several well-worked corners were slotted home with Leon Williams scoring four goals, supported by Patrick Pearce (2), Geraint Harries (1) and Luke Billing (1).
Daniel Williams and Nathan Ammesley-Rees  played well in defence with goalkeeper Liam Fienhagg keeping a clean sheet and Aaron Quilligan tackled well. The second half performance was a stunning display of football by the whole squad.

The squad carried on from the previous game, but found the opposing ‘A’ side a little stronger. Leon Williams scored a hat-trick, Dafydd Bevan grabbed two goals and Luke Billing the other goal. South Ceredigion scored twice, but by that time Pembs had sown up the game.
