Haverfordwest County crashed out of the cup against ten-men Tenby.

Last season’s finalists, County have had a bad start to the season and once again things did not go their way on Saturday.

Daryl Mansbridge scored in the 15th and 32nd minutes to give the Seasiders a two-goal cushion at the break.

Midway through the second period and Declan Carroll was sent off by referee Alan Boswell, the no-nonsense midfielder picking up a second yellow card.

Matthew Ellis gave the Bluebirds a glimmer of hope when he pulled a goal back with a peach of a header. The home outfit struck the woodwork twice, but the visitors clung on for victory much to the evident delight of Seasiders’ boss Micky Lewis.
