Five of the six games scheduled in the Manderwood Pembrokeshire Football League First Division were completed.

However, the clash at Phoenix Park where league leaders Goodwick United entertained St Clears was abandoned after only six minutes as referee Paul Jackson collapsed, he was taken to Withybush General Hospital by ambulance. PembrokeshireSport.co.uk wishes Paul a speedy and full recovery.

Monkton Swifts deservedly defeated champions Hakin United 4-2 at Monkton Lane in a highly entertaining game. Shane Walsh and Justin Harding netted for the Vikings, but the Swifts sealed the points following well-taken goals shared by Jimmy Russell, Thomas Powell, Ben Steele, and Blake James.

Carew came from two goals down to fightback and narrowly beat derby rivals Saundersfoot Sports 3-2 at home. Geoff Marsh and Adam Davidson grabbed early goals for the visitors, but the Rooks hit back for victory thanks to an own goal and a brace from in-form striker Jordan Richards.

Clarbeston Road lost 2-3 at home against title-seeking Merlins Bridge at the Knock Playing Field. Joules Ward and Jason Griffiths netted for the Road, but the Wizards secured the points with goals from Joe Leahy penalty, Nathan Greene and Adam Hawkins.

Pennar Robins thrashed an under strength Herbrandston 7-2 at Bush Camp. Ben Adams starred for the Robins, the striker netted five times alongside goals from team-mates Sam Southcott and Nick Willis. Herbie replied with a brace from skipper Scott Reid.

Bottom of the table, Milford United narrowly lost 2-3 against Narberth at Marble Hall. The Bluebirds took a three-goal lead as Tony Evans 2, and Dafydd Wright found the back of the net. The Robins mounted a serious comeback with goals from Lewys Tee and Levi Jones, but failed to bag an all-important third.
