Pennar Robins 2 – Tenby 2

 
Pennar Robins’ captain Kieran Smith struck a late equaliser to earn Pennar Robins a deserved point against fifth in the table Tenby at Bush Camp.

Seven minutes later Tenby equalised from a wicked in-swinging corner which Dan Storer powerfully headed home from six yards.
 
Only a minute after the break, former Pennar player Liam tapped home from three yards thanks to a low cross and another assist from Jerome Williams.
 
In 87th minute a break in midfield instigated from the hard working Noah Davison who was composed to find captain Kieran Smith on the edge of the box, who duly smashed it home to earn Pennar a deserved draw against Tenby.
 
Pennar Robins manager Craig Butland said: “It’s no secret after losing so many players in the summer we are going through another rebuild but the boys are putting in the hard work and were brilliant today, against a good side who will be up there come April. Full credit to my players who stood up and put in a top shift to earn a deserved point.”
