on 5th June. I went on the FGW service to Tenby and missed it, not knowing it was scheduled for Carmarthen and had no idea this was diverted to Carmarthen instead of Cardiff. anyone know why this happened?

Charlie Hulme's North Wales Coast website has an article on this, http://nwrail.org.uk/nwnews.htm
The advertised destination of the train was Cardiff, but when it was realised that there would be two rival political protest demonstrations there, by organisations which have clashed with the police in other cities, as well as the Rugby match, it was agreed and arranged between Compass Tours, Network Rail, DB Schenker,and Arriva Trains Wales to divert the train to Carmarthen with a call at Kidwelly where the passengers could spend their break in peace. Well done to the all concerned for making this change at short notice.
