In the under 10s section it was Tenby United Swifts who edged home by two tries to one against a gritty Narberth team which battled until the final whistle in the hope of a share of the spoils.

Swifts' skipper Iori Badham was their hero in a good all-round team performance as he claimed both his team's scores, whilst Iorrie Richards, Kyle Rossiter, Dylan Duffy and Fletcher Broadhurst were also busy in a strong all-round team effort.

Iolo Shaw, Harvey Perkins, Jack Mason and Ollie Hughes undertook the same work for the Young Otters, who had a try from Ollie Berry as their reward.

The under 11s Final between Crymych and Pembroke could easily lay claim to be the match of the day before the Crymych youngsters won by 28-21 as both teams showed terrific skills well beyond their ages.

Crymych nudged ahead with a delightful try by outside half Tomos Davies, converted by half back partner Gruff Edwards and they moved 14 points in front with a try by Iestyn Wood, converted by Owain Davies.

But Pembroke battled back superbly to level matters at 14-all thanks to tries by centre Harry Shaw and Zac Evans, both converted Charlie Shiels, before a second try from Tomos Davies, followed by another from Deian Davies, both converted by Davies, seemed to have made the game safe.

In a late Scarlets’ surge, Harry Whitehouse replied for the Scarlets to give them a sniff of success but Crymych held on for victory in a cracking game that was a showcase of all that is good in local junior rugby.

Cardigan 12 Pembroke 29
 

Referee: Jason Summers
 

Pembroke's Jacob Wright was the man of the match for Pembroke as he scored a hat-trick of tries that helped them beat Cardigan by 29-12 in an absorbing clash.

The teams were tied at 5-all at the interval as Wright opened the scoring for Pembroke and Iwan Laugharne levelled matters for Cardigan.

Tom Cabot also scored a good try for the Scarlets after skipper Cai Ifans grabbed the Teifisiders second try - and Wright's second put his side 17-12 in front before his third was followed by a neat score from Pembroke skipper Iori Humphreys, who also added two conversions and went close to another from a neat break and clever chip ahead where he was beaten by the bounce.

Ben Mansfield, Jack Perkins and Zack Hughes were also heavily involved for the Teifisiders but Lewys Boswell, Archie Hillier-Wood and Travis Mathias helped the Scarlets win in a solid all-round performance.

Pembroke Dock Harlequins 12 Tenby United 34
 

Referee: Chris Williams
 

Tenby United started their match against Pembroke Dock Harlequins as hot favourites and confirmed that forecast with a 34-12 win over a gritty Quins' side in which forward Eljay Taylor led by example alongside Hannah Polkinghorn, who has played for the Quins since she was nine and must now go on to girls' rugby at under 15 level.

But the Swifts looked very sharp and ran in six excellent tries as they handled the greasy ball really well via Lewis Morgan, George Rossiter, Alex Wainwright, Josh Done, Taran Richards and Archie Hughes, with Wainwright landing two conversions.

The Quins had David Roberts joining Taylor on the scoresheet after the latter had gone very close in the corner but was held up by a superb cover tackle by a Swifts' player who showed that their defensive cover was as good as their attacking prowess.

Cardigan 0 Milford Haven 26
 

Referee: Chris Oliver
 

Milford Haven were defeated heavily the previous season by Cardigan but gained ample revenge in a rain-soaked return where they played some superb rugby and were already 26-0 at half time.

There was no shortage of effort from the Teifisiders as Scott Grota, Dafydd Davies and Rhun Phillips caught the eye but they were never able to cope with the direct running of the Young Mariners, who started out with a try by centre Ewan Badham, who also added their third after No 8 Dylan Evans had also crossed for a score initiated by Harry Charnley, Ieuan Badham and Corey Hill.

Then centre James Williams cut through and rounded off the first-half scoring with a spectacular dive under the posts. Mariners' No 10 Kyran Gray slotted three conversions to leave Milford Haven in total command at the interval.

Cardigan tried hard in the second half to grab some scores with the elements in their favour but solid defence from the Young Mariners, With Alfie Mason, Ieuan Davies and Ieuan Badham to the fore, saw their side through comfortably in a second half where there was a lot of action but no points!
 

 

Crymych 13 Haverfordwest 6
 

Referee: Charlie Watts
 

There was a real skill element, allied to total commitment, in the under 15s final between Crymych and Haverfordwest before Crymych produced a grandstand finish to turn a 6-5 deficit into a lead they might well have increased, but for some excellent late defence from the Young Blues.

There was testosterone aplenty in the first period where referee Charlie Watts issued three yellow cards but did well to make sure that players stayed on the heavy pitch and gradually settled to produce a cracking final where there was running rugby aplenty and some terrific defence by both teams.

Crymych grabbed the only try of a tight first period when flanker Joseph Mathias claimed an unconverted try after good work by Josh Bridge, Sam Edge and Iwan Twigg.

Haverfordwest responded with a penalty from centre Lee Davies and took a slight lead when Davies again slotted the ball between the uprights as reward for the efforts of Jake Merry, Travis Johnson and Tom Long.

But the final quarter belonged almost entirely to Crymych as full back Dean James, centres Hedd Nicholas and Dafydd Griffiths punched holes which Haverfordwest filled with brave tackles by the likes of Alaric Jones and Jack Evans.

But the Crymych youngsters finally recaptured the initiative after a Griffiths’ burst and they were awarded a penalty which Dean James landed - and they made certain of success when an Ilan Phillips break released Dafydd Eynon for an unconverted to make the game safe and keep up Crymych's proud record in this competition.

Referee: Jason Summers
 

Crymych became only the second team in the proud history of Crymych in these finals as they won their age group for the fifth year in succession, despite the yeoman efforts of Pembroke Dock Harlequins to prevent that happening.

The Quins tackled like demons and tried to run the ball at every opportunity as Gethin Bradney, Declan Scourfield, Ben Gibby and Joseph Powell were involved but found Crymych very strong in attack and defence.

Crymych certainly showed their prowess in the former skill as they raced into a 31-0 lead through cracking tries from outstanding No 8 Gethin Davies (2), flanker Jon Hill, outside half Jac Davies and flanker Guto Edwards, three of them converted by Jac Davies.

Some of the loudest cheers of the day were reserved for two late scores by the Quins as reward for their never-say-die spirit and determination to commemorate the spirit of their late coach Stuart Lewis.

First livewire prop Eljay Taylor scored after going close on a couple of occasions, and then replacement Jordan Kokolin intercepted a floated pass and sped 40 metres to the line, both scores converted by No 10 Sam James.
