Friday the 13th - Superstitious? More Like Super Bluebirds!
Haverfordwest County returned to the Ogi Bridge Meadow coming off two superb away victories against Cardiff Met (2-0) and Briton Ferry (2-0), looking to extend the 100% record in Phase 2 to three. It could be argued that playing “bottom six” sides would naturally harbour easier games, however Cardiff Met and Briton Ferry could have made top 6. They are good sides and to have beaten them in back-to-back away games is a great achievement. Bala Town were the next in the firing

A Conversation with...Corey Shephard
We're so excited that Corey Shephard agreed to do a Question and Answer session with us. As our sponsored player this season, it's no surprise we love our midfield maestro.

After a great point earned away last week, thanks to a Corey Shephard 90+9 equaliser that made the Cofis bitter on Twitter, we were in good spirits. This followed on from really good performances in the league versus TNS and Connah's Quay. Losing the former was quite unlucky, but playing really well and coming back from 2-0 down after 30 minutes to draw 3-3 vs the latter was really pleasing. This shows what we have been saying for months. Overall, our performances have been

The Chairman who came for Three (points)
A lot had been said going into this weekend. Whatever the chatter, nothing beats the excitement of going to your local football team’s ground, having a few pints and trying out the latest local food vendor that we have pitch side this week! Today it was Feast Pembrokeshire, whom you can usually find by the Cresselly Arms every weekend, offering the best smoked meats and craft barbecues.
