report by Peter Reynolds
A fifth goal for
Ian Jones with 2 minutes to go created a club record score at
Jenner Park. Our previous best was 6-0 at Abergavenny in the first
year of the league of Wales and improves on our 7-1 home win over
Porthcawl in the Welsh league.
Ian opened the
scoring on 12 minutes, he won the ball 35 yards out and fed the
overlapping Steve Parry who got to the bye line and crossed low
for Ian to fire home from 4 yards. 3 minutes later Craig Jones won
the ball in a midfield position and fed the unmarked Ianto who
drew the keeper and side footed home.
His third came on
25 minutes when some sloppy defending saw him receive the ball
wide right, he ran into the box and drilled the ball past the
keeper. On 28 minutes Shaun O'Leary scored directly from a corner,
his well placed cross was helped in by some poor keeping. In added
on time both Carl Evans and Craig Martin had headers saved while
Ianto looking for his fourth had a lob well saved by the keeper.
After a quiet
opening to the second half, Chris Latham replaced Matt Lavis on 57
minutes and 2 minutes later opened his senior scoring account for
the club. Chris had played Ianto in, he delayed his shot and the
keeper did well to block it but Chris followed up and fired home
the fifth. It was now a case of home many we'd score and if we'd
prevent them from scoring.
On 72 minutes a
great diagonal ball from Chris Latham found Craig Jones, he
slipped the ball to Liam McCreesh who fed Ianto for number 6.
Steve Parry fired in a terrific shot from the edge of the area
following a corner and their keeper made an outstanding save but
with 2 minutes to go, a sweeping six man move ended with Ianto
creating the new record.
