With how the fixture list has worked in Division One, Haverfordwest have played the team that Division One title rivals Penybont will play the week after.

“We had a poor November, we’ve worked on keeping clean sheets and that’s the main focus for us. We know with our strike force we will score goals.
“We’ve got to focus on every game ahead of us. We’ve had a very good December winning four games on the bounce.”

They have battled back from some poor early season form to make their way into the top three.
Jones will be able to include his only signing Kaid Mohamed in the squad next week.
Mohamed missed the fixture against Ton Pentre after picking up an injury against Briton Ferry.
“He went for a fitness test and it was precautionary we left him out.
He hasn’t played all summer and he felt a little twinge last week.
Kai is honest and open, knowing we’ve got other players available. He’ll be back next week for us.”

But having got back into senior management again with Haverfordwest are previously working as an assistant at Aberystwyth Town, Wayne Jones is putting his own stamp on things with Haverfordwest.
“When I came here there were changes behind the scenes. I’ve come in and tinkered things a little bit. I’ve more or less paddled the canoe as such.
“
“I’ve tinkered things in how I want to play. I want us to play more direct and breaking the lines.
“The nucleus is there and our ambition is to go for promotion, what we’ve got in the changing room there’s no reason why we can’t.”
