The match ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw, with both teams exhibiting their determination and prowess on the field.

The game began with an early burst of excitement as Aaron Williams of Newtown AFC opened the scoring in the fourth minute.

Haverfordwest County, however, was determined to make a comeback after their recent defeat to Newtown. They managed to level the score in the 37th minute, thanks to an unexpected own goal by the Newtown side.

The match continued with both teams battling fiercely for control and dominance on the field. Referee had to show yellow cards to two players from Newtown AFC. Matthew Jones and Ryan Sears received cautions during the game.

This draw marks another twist in the story between Newtown AFC and Haverfordwest County. Just last month, Newtown emerged victorious with a resounding 4-0 win at Haverfordwest County, with Aaron Williams once again making a significant impact by scoring two goals. However, the Bluebirds managed to turn the tables in their last encounter at Latham Park, securing a dramatic win on penalties in the play-off final to secure European qualification. The shared points in this match indicate a competitive rivalry that promises to be a source of excitement for fans in the upcoming games.

Newtown is currently 3rd in the league table with 23 pts.
