Haverfordwest County AFC finally broke their scoring duck and secured a first league win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Trefelin. The result lifts the Bluebirds to 12th in the Cymru Premier standings, with three points from six matches.
How did Haverfordwest County AFC end their goal drought?
According to a BBC report, Tony Pennock's side had failed to score in their opening five matches of the 2026/27 campaign. That run ended dramatically in a home fixture against Trefelin, with two goals arriving in a three-minute spell. Daniel Hawkins netted the club's first league goal of the season before Jack Wilson quickly added a second. A late consolation from Callum Saunders for the visitors did not prevent Haverfordwest from climbing out of the bottom two. The team's current form shows one win and five losses from their opening six games.
Who is the new loan signing at the Bridge Meadow?
Haverfordwest County have reinforced their squad with the season-long loan signing of midfielder Jacob Owen from champions The New Saints. The 21-year-old returns to the club for a second spell, having previously played for the Bluebirds between 2023 and 2025. Manager Tony Pennock told the club's official website he was delighted to bring Owen back, noting the player was part of the side that achieved the club's best-ever Cymru Premier finish. Owen has made 13 appearances for TNS and was part of their title-winning squad last season.
