Tenby 1 Merlins bridge 5.

Relegation doomed Tenby began well against mid-table Merlins Bridge, but come the final whistle the Seasiders had to concede to the better side.

The Bridge couldn't find a way through Tenby's resilient defence until the deadlock was broken on the half hour mark.

Carl Mason made no mistake and fired his shot from outside the box to give the visitors the lead.

Brett Shakir's darting header from six-yards out on the stroke of half-time found the top corner of Tenby's net to double Bridge's advantage going into half-time.

In the second period the visitors fired two goals in the first five minutes to effectively see off Tenby's challenge. A corner won by the Bridge at the restart provided the first goal when Adi Smith's header from inside the box, then Ben Skudder found the target Bridge's fourth.

Tenby did pull a goal back, Liam Robson scoring a classy 25-yarder to provide them with a consolation goal after a spirited performance. With ten minutes to go Nathan Thomas fired a low powerful drive passed Tenby keeper Richard Bridges to complete a solid 5-1 win over the division one strugglers.

Tenby secretary Dean Hurlow, said: "I don't think the scoreline reflects how well the boys played. We have lost 18 first team players since last season and now we are hoping to rebuild the team and looking for a new manager for next season."
