Gary Dawes  (Hakin United manager)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 4

“The Bridge have plenty of experience but I don’t think that will be enough. Tenby will be the hungrier side and if they can hold their nerve they will win it quite comfortably. Tenby are the best team we’ve played this season.”
 

Steve Blackford  (Goodwick United manager)
Merlins Bridge 3  Tenby 1

“Tenby have a lot of midweek games to play and this may take its toll. Merlins Bridge has a wealth of experience and I really think they will sneak it.”
 

Matthew Price (Narberth manager)
Merlins Bridge 2  Tenby 0

“This will be a whole new experience for Tenby. The Bridge squad are used to big games, and more importantly they know how to win them.”
 

Steve James (Johnston manager)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 3

“I think Merlins Bridge will give a good account of themselves but Tenby will be too strong for them especially going forward.”
 

Byron Phillips (West Dragons manager)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 3

“Tenby are the best football side we’ve played this season. The big open spaces on the Bridge Meadow will definitely suit them better than the Wizards.”
 

Jamie Callan (Monkton Swifts Captain)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 3

“Tenby will be hungrier and fitter than the Bridge. There are also more goals in their midfield and attack, but they will have to make sure they keep Stephen McNabney quiet.”
 

Sean Hannon (Neyland defender)
Merlins Bridge 0 Tenby 2

“Tenby have got the meanest defence in the league and play attractive football. I think they will have too much fire power for the Bridge to cope with.”
 

Gavin Southcott (Pennar Robins manager)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 3

“It’s Tenby’s first final, getting past the semi-final was their biggest hurdle. The Bridge Meadow is a massive pitch which will suit Tenby’s style of football; although the Bridge will make it tough for them.”
 

Sam Coleman (Saundersfoot Sports manager)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 2

“Tenby will definitely win, but I think it will be close. The Bridge will keep it tight, but what edges it for me is that Tenby have that extra bit of quality in the man for man battles.”
 

Jamie Stanley (Hundleton manager)
Merlins Bridge 2 Tenby 3

“The Seasiders are a really good young side; they will be hungry, have a steely determination and will want to win it more than the Bridge.”
 

Marc Devonald (St Ishmaels manager)
Merlins Bridge 0 Tenby 3

“Tenby are a fit young side and the Bridge will struggle to keep up with them on the big Bridge Meadow surface. The Seasiders are definitely the best footballing team that we’ve played this season.”
 

Craig Weston (St Clears manager)
Merlins Bridge 1 Tenby 3

“This has to be Tenby’s year. They’re the best team we’ve played and they have some strong characters. Peter Fearn used to play for the Saints and now he assists manager Mike Lewis. So I’ll have to go for the Seasiders. Central midfielder Richard Perry will be the player to watch – he was outstanding in their semi-final win over the Swifts.”
