Rooks win to fly out of the drop zone

 

Carew 4 – Fishguard Sports 2

 

Carew deservedly claimed victory over fellow strugglers Fishguard Sports to move out of the relegation zone.

However, this defeat means that The Sports have now moved into the dreaded second from bottom position, which manager Phil Jones will not feel happy with.
 

In a keenly contested first half The Rooks led 2-1. Sam Christopher struck the opener only for The Sports’ Luke Thomas to score an equaliser, but minutes later James Hinchliffe struck which restored Carew’s lead.
