Haverfordwest has become the first golf club in Wales to achieve Gold of the Women in Golf Charter - in recognition of the club’s dedication to fostering inclusivity. The updated Charter was launched in line with the Women's Golf Legacy Fund in January this year, helping Wales Golf create a more inclusive environment in golf in Wales. The club will benefit from funding to improve women's greenkeeper facilities, with a quarter of the greenkeeping staff being female. They are one of 49 clubs across Wales benefitting from the Welsh Government £1 million fund aimed at improving facilities for women, girls and people with disabilities around Welsh golf clubs. The fund and Charter will form part of the legacy of hosting the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl at the end of July, the biggest female sporting event ever hosted in Wales. Haverfordwest have become the first club in Wales to earn the Women in Golf Charter since Wales Golf relaunched new bronze, silver and gold standards this year. “Wales Golf and The R&A are encouraging golf clubs to adopt the Charter, so congratulations to Haverfordwest on not only being the first club in Wales to achieve these new standards, but to go straight in at Gold level,” said Zoe Davies, ED&I Project Lead for Wales Golf. “Attaining the Charter was a requirement of being able to qualify for legacy funding, with 49 clubs around Wales qualifying to have a share of the million pound boost for Welsh golf, so there will be more clubs following suit. “We relaunched the Women in Golf Charter in January this year to include bronze, silver and gold categories. The aim of the Charter is to increase the number of women and girls playing and working in golf. “It is also about developing a culture that values women’s involvement in every aspect of the sport. "Haverfordwest have equal access to the course for all full, seven days a week members, regardless of gender. Along with half of the club management being female, they also have more than 20% female representation in membership. “Other core commitments of the Charter include delivering beginner programmes such as New2Golf and having a membership pathway for women and girls. "Haverfordwest's commitment sets a powerful example for clubs across the country and we hope their success inspires many other clubs to follow in their footsteps. “The club will also benefit from the Women's Golf Legacy Fund with a project to improve greenkeeper facilities - a good example of how Haverfordwest is displaying golf is a profession for all genders." Haverfordwest Women’s Captain Nicky Reeves said: “We were delighted to get the confirmation, to be the first in Wales to receive the Gold Women in Golf Charter, really chuffed. “Wales Golf talked to us about what we needed to do, we looked at the Charter and realised we already had a lot of it in place, which is a testament to members past. The women here championed playing golf with the men 40 years ago. “We looked at our staff, we have one woman on our greens staff, two women on our management board, New2Golf started here 14 years ago and has gone really, really well, so we thought we have started on a good standing,” added Nicky.

Hosted at the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium on the magnificent new 3G surface, 16 teams competed across four categories in the walking football festival, an event designed to raise awareness of the benefits of walking football as a means of improving physical health and well-being, particularly for individuals over forty. The festival proudly supported SNAP Pembrokeshire’s specialist play services, with a total of £640 raised to aid their work. In addition, a charity raffle contributed £130 to PATH, further supporting local initiatives. Among those attending were staff and volunteers from PATH, SNAP Pembrokeshire, Councillor David Bryan and Matthew Freeman, Manager of PCC Sport Pembrokeshire, who all championed the event’s purpose of using football as a force for positive impact. Representative teams from Milford, New Hedges Saundersfoot, Haverfordwest County AFC, Neath, Morlais Movers, Wannabe Warriors, Celtic Nations, Albies and Felinfoel competed across three pitches, showcasing their skills. Matches officials for the day were Arthur Hughes, Brendan McGrail and Helmut Reinhart. The food hut was open serving delicious food and beverages and in the spirit of community Kirsty Rees and her staff provided free refreshments throughout to all match officials and staff of St John Ambulance Wales. The festival also celebrated the success of the PATH numeracy project, which has been funded through the Social Prosperity Fund, highlighting the crucial role of community-driven programmes in fostering education and engagement. Learners who benefitted from that project were there offering their support during the event, alongside staff who led the project. Members of Haverfordwest High Sixth Form who had attended the Numeracy classes as part of their work experience were also there in support. Through spirited competition and charitable fundraising, the festival emphasised the power of sport to unite people in support of meaningful causes. Paul Williams, chairperson of the Haverfordwest County Walking Football Group said: “We see walking football as a brilliant form for our health and wellbeing every week, alongside being able to socialise with like-minded football lovers.” Event organiser Dean Flood commented: “This festival has been a shining example of how learning, well-being, community cohesion and human connection can thrive when people unite with a shared purpose.” Ladies over-40’s: Haverfordwest County AFC Mixed over-50’s: Haverfordwest County AFC Haverfordwest County Community Manager Harry Thomas and Commercial Manager Alaric Jones were delighted to work alongside PATH to host this event.

The participants were swept over in the weir and became trapped under the fast-moving water Lloyd previously pleaded guilty to four counts of manslaughter and one offence under the Health and Safety at Work Act Mrs Justice Stacey told Nerys Lloyd that paddleboarding on the weir posed an "obvious and extreme danger which was well known and clearly signed" She added: "Even from the bridge you could hear how tumultuous the water was going over the weir but you carried on regardless." The judge said Lloyd was well trained in risk through her roles at South Wales Police and with the RNLI telling her: "You knew what you should do but you failed to do it." She told Lloyd she had painted a "false narrative" and had "persisted in disproportionately blaming" co-instructor Paul O'Dwyer "I accept you are desperately sorry for what happened that day," the judge told Lloyd "Your life has also been massively impacted But being sorry for what happened is different from remorse." quoted a statement written by Lloyd to the court on Wednesday He said: "I take full blame (for the incident) that meant four extremely special individuals are not here today "The pain for me has been unbearable but the pain for the families unmeasurable "There were nine people on the river that day and every one of them is a victim." The judge also said there were Met Office weather warnings at that time as well as a flood alert in place through Natural Resources Wales She told Lloyd that she had watched CCTV footage of the incident which she described as "too distressing" to play in court The court heard Lloyd commented to her wife - in a conversation inadvertently recorded on her phone hours after the incident - that she was "finished" Mrs Justice Stacey said: "In a conversation with your wife you told her it was 100% your fault and you probably should not have gone on the water." But the judge said Lloyd blamed Paul O'Dwyer in the aftermath of the incident and claimed all those taking part were of intermediate ability "It is clear to me that you intended for the group to go through the weir," she told Lloyd "Paul had researched alternative routes that would avoid crossing the weir "He raised valid concerns that you ignored Your interest appeared to be more of an exciting route rather than safety."

Cup Final following semi-final victories at Park Avenue on Sunday afternoon The Cofis were the first to triumph, securing a 3-1 win over a Newport County side who had knocked out holders Briton Ferry Llansawel in the previous round Caernarfon’s Hari Lambe continued his impressive record of netting in every round of this season’s competition by opening the scoring in the 22nd minute but Cameron Egan equalised for Newport in first half stoppage time Harri Wyn restored the Cofis’ advantage five minutes into the second half before Owen Roberts sealed victory with six minutes remaining Haverfordwest County secured their spot in the final in much more dramatic circumstances, beating Newtown 6-5 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes The game was goalless for 76 minutes until Tarran Hollinshead finally broke the deadlock for the Robins but Bluebirds skipper Dan John sent the tie to a shootout with an 84th-minute equaliser Kristers Kudrjavcevs missed Haverfordwest’s first spot-kick but Robbie Davies missed Newtown’s fourth as it went to sudden death After Jack Nicholas had scored for the Bluebirds goalkeeper Corey Mathias made himself the hero as he denied Robins defender Tom Spencer The 2024/25 FAW Youth Cup Final will be played on Sunday 6 April with the venue and kick-off time to be confirmed in due course Haverfordwest County AFC manager Tony Pennock was happy to take a point from the 1-1 draw with Cardiff Metropolitan on Friday night a result which proved enough to secure the Bluebirds a first third place top-flight finish since 2003-04 The Students went ahead five minutes before the interval through Adam Roscrow but County responded in the 68th minute when goalkeeper Kelland Absalom turned the ball into his own net after Kyle Kenniford’s effort had hit the left post The result also meant that the Town have only tasted defeat to three of our 11 opponents in this season’s JD Cymru Premier Here’s what the manager had to say in full after the game: Obviously disappointed to concede the goal in the manner we did I think only once in the three years I’ve been here has somebody won a game by more than one goal and that was Met beating us 2-0 a couple of years ago we’re over the line and for us to achieve third place is fantastic the work they’ve put in from pre-season all the way through the season You get what you deserve when you work hard and they’ve been fantastic this year we’ve only been back in the league five years to go to Europe in that time and now finish third is fantastic and hopefully we’ll improve again next season On going unbeaten against the Archers this season a team we’ve won against and lost to over the last few years but to play them four times this year so far who knows which way the play-offs are going to go but we’d have certainly taken that at the start of the season getting top six was our aim at the start of the season and then of the five away games in Phase Two I think that shows how far we’ve come as a team defensively we haven’t really tested their goalkeeper and we’ve had several opportunities in good areas of the pitch I know the boys are determined to put that side of our game right On getting back in the groove after a week’s break The boys had a little bit of a rest last week It’s not easy keeping them motivated when there’s gaps in games and we know what it’s going to be like now depending on what happens in the Welsh Cup final in terms of the gap we’ll have between our last game and the play-offs The boys look after themselves really well it’s something that I trust them with and that’ll be the case for the next five weeks Obviously the last time we played The New Saints they caught us on a bad day and we caught them on a very good day because they were outstanding when we lost 5-1 up there a few weeks ago and to even compete with TNS you have to be at your best and that’s what our focus is now for next week; not repeating the performance we had up in TNS a few weeks ago We’ve only lost once at home this season against Penybont and we certainly don’t want to lose another one but being in the top six these are the games we want and we’ll look forward to a really tough game against the champions of the league again Haverfordwest County AFC are delighted to confirm that Ricky Watts has agreed a new two-year contract with the club The legendary midfielder is currently in his 14th season with the Bluebirds and he brought up his 400th appearance for his hometown club away at Cardiff Metropolitan back in August Ricky has made 23 appearances in all competitions so far this season netting in the 5-1 victory away at Carmarthen Town in the Nathaniel MG Cup away at Aberystwyth Town and also in the JD Welsh Cup victory at Ammanford in November A firm favourite with the Bluebirds supporters Ricky had the honour of captaining the team during our European campaign in the summer of 2023 as we created club history by winning a tie for the very first time Wattsy’s positional versatitlity has been a huge asset to manager Tony Pennock which has seen him fulfil positions across the defensive line and in his preferred position of midfield manager Tony Pennock said: “Ricky has been a fantastic servant to our football club and him extending his contract for a further two years shows his commitment to this football club “He always works hard at his game and remains a vital member of our squad “He has been excellent for me since I arrived Ricky said: “I’m delighted to commit my future to the club for another two years and I’m grateful for the trust shown in me and creating more special moments together!” Ricky is kindly sponsored by the Cleddau Casuals Cardiff Met hosted Haverfordwest County last night where Adam Roscrow’s first half goal was cancelled out by a Kelland Absalom own goal late on in the second half Here are three talking points regarding the match as we head closer to the European Play-Offs It goes without saying that Zac Jones has caught many eyes since relocating to West Wales from New Zealand with the Kiwi born shot stopper showcasing many impressive performances So it is clear to see why the New Zealander may be in high demand this summer Jones denied Cardiff Met taking all three points last night He made good saves to deny Jac Clay and Tom Vincent as the Archers were searching for a winner As we head into the final game of the Championship Conference both Cardiff Met and Haverfordwest County will be hoping to pick up a win and head into the Play-Offs in good form Both sides have found wins hard to come by as of late Cardiff Met enter their final game vs Caernarfon off the back of a four game winless run however their last win came against their upcoming opponents when they beat the Cofis 4-2 at Cyncoed Campus in the beginning of March The Archers still have everything to play for as they head into their game against Caernarfon as finishing one place higher may be beneficial for their Play-Off campaign have the tough task of facing The New Saints on the final day where they will be hoping to put an end to their five-game winless run The Bluebirds have won just two of their games since the split with their last victory coming against Met back in February Tony Pennock’s men will be hoping to pick up a win before they head into the Play-Offs however beating the champions TNS is never an easy task The Bluebirds have beaten TNS just once in their last 11 meetings we saw what happened the last time the Bluebirds entered the Play-Offs defeating both Met and Newtown to enter the qualification rounds for the UEFA Europa Conference League Time will tell if either Cardiff Met or Haverfordwest County can pick up a win on the last day and enter the Play-Offs with some momentum it may seem strange to be talking about the Welsh Cup final when neither Cardiff Met or Haverfordwest County are involved this is a game that could have a major impact on their seasons With Haverfordwest guaranteed to finish third should TNS win the Welsh Cup County will be gifted a huge advantage heading into the Play-Offs This will see County guaranteed a place in the final which they will play at home Although Cardiff Met are almost guaranteed to face Caernarfon in the Play-Offs that will see Penybont enter the Play-Offs a team who many have struggled to beat this season this would also mean that County play an extra game and have to face Penybont away from home in the final This would be far from ideal for the Pembrokeshire club as they have failed to beat Pennybont in their last seven meetings I think it is clear to see why many Haverfordwest County fans will be cheering on The New Saints in the final which will be played at Rodney Parade on the 4th of May Here's how Phase Two will look for the Bluebirds Haverfordwest County AFC will begin Phase Two of the 2024-25 JD Cymru Premier season with a home game against Bala Town at the Ogi Bridge Meadow on Saturday 25 January Tony Pennock’s men are gearing up for their maiden Championship Conference campaign having secured a top six finish in a 12-team JD Cymru Premier for the first time in the club’s history County have guaranteed themselves at least a European play-off semi-final berth and will be aiming to finish as high up in the standings as they can The Bluebirds will also be joined by The New Saints Caernarfon Town and Cardiff Metropolitan in the Championship Conference The Town will bring their campaign to a close at home to The New Saints on Saturday 19 April (2:30pm) at the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium
