Pembrokeshire Primary Schools Football - Tom Yeoman Shield
Pembrokeshire Primary Schools Football Squad had a tough start to 2012 with an away fixture against Swansea Schools where they had their chances to win all four matches but came away with just one victory against very experienced opposition.
Pembrokeshire A 4 - Swansea B 2
Pembs played well in the first match with the boys looking sharp. Jack Ackerman, Zac Rowell and Jay Power defended solidly with Cameron Thomas and Ben Fawcett running well along the flanks. Alaric Jones combined with Jonathan Walters and there was some good inter –passing. Stephen Varney, in goal, looked very safe and his throwing out was very accurate. Walters scored Pembs first goal with Jones adding the second soon afterwards. Fawcett hit the post with a rasping shot and Walters was on hand to follow up. Fawcett later on scored himself, putting Pembs 4-0 up before Swansea pulled one back. Ben Fairbain and Ollie Wheeler came on in the second half and contributed well to a good team performance. Swansea scored another goal, but Pembs held on to their two goal lead.
Pembrokeshire A 0 - Swansea A 1
Pembs found themselves up against a very strong Swansea side. The boys battled well and the game was evenly balanced. Both sides created chances but the deadlock was broken when Swansea scored from a cracking shot from the halfway line just before half time. The second half was end to end stuff, but Pembs could not find the back of the net.
Pembrokeshire B 1 - Swansea A 3
Pembs went 1-0 down very early on and were then playing catch up. Although they made several scoring opportunities the final touch was just not good enough. Swansea scored twice more before halftime. The second half saw more commitment from the Pembs boys and they forced an own goal.
Pembrokeshire B 2 - Swansea B 3
Pembs attacked well early on through Max Bowman-Davies and Cieran Rees. Rhys Morgan and Jake Houston battled well in midfield while Jack Scriven, Joshua Watts, Lewys Tee and John Mansbridge defended strongly. Jack Wilson scored two good goals for Pembs to put them 2-0 ahead, but Swansea kept their shape well and scored twice to get back into the match. Their determined play resulted in a third goal and despite Pembs best efforts they could not get the equalising goal.
