We went down 4-1 in our final match with a much changed side from Monday and with both Carl Payne and Remi Whitelock making their full debuts. The only bright spot was Ianto scoring his 42nd goal of the season to finish joint top scorer in the league.

We opened the scoring after 6 minutes, our right wing corner was cleared but picked up by Dan Williams who found Chris Latham, he played it wide to Carl Edwards whose cross took a deflection and lobbed up nicely for Ian to head past the keeper. Two minutes later we had a free kick just inside the Caerleon half, Dan Williams found Carl Edwards, his cross was headed goalwards by Ian but the keeper made a diving save to his right. It wouldn't have counted however as the linesman flagged for offside. Caerleon didn't cause us any problem until the 17th minute when Jay just got a touch to a right wing cross to take it off the head of the attacker, it was crossed back in and cleared by Craig Martin.

Two minutes later Carl Evans conceded a free kick on the edge of the box but Jay held the shot. After 25 minutes we had a half chance to go two up when Chris Latham picked up the ball in midfield and found Ianto, he rolled it back to Craig Martin whose cross missed Chris Latham and hit Remi Whitelock who was just behind him. Unfortunately the ball went just wide of the post. Within a minute Caerleon were level, a long ball through the middle caught out the back four and their 11 raced into the area and shot past Jay giving him no chance. We went straight down and from a good position Ianto failed to get any power on his shot and the keeper dived to save. Caerleon then got the ball in the net but the linesman our side got something right by flagging for offside. We went 2-1 down on 35 minutes when their 8 shot from 30 yards giving Jay little chance. Twice within a minute we almost equalised, first Ianto got on the end of a Craig Jones cross and his first time shot went just over the bar then Remi Whitelock tried his luck with a snap shot from 30 yards which just missed the target. On 44 minutes we went 3-1 down when another long through ball found us wanting and Dan Williams grabbed their 11 to give the ref little option but to give a penalty. 

Caerleon started the second half better than us and it wasn't until the 51st minute that we attacked with any purpose. Chris Latham had blocked a Caerleon shot and fed Craig Jones he carried the ball forward and found Carl Payne who returned it to Craig but his cross was cleared. Things didn't quite go for us in attack, Caerleon isn't the best of pitches especially at this time of year and the game became an endless long ball game. People like Craig Jones who like to run with the ball at their feet can't on that pitch. Then on 69 minutes Chris Latham was sent off, he had been booked in the first half but got involved following a foul by Dan Williams. Dan fouled their 11 who appeared to butt Dan, Chris went in to 'lend a hand' and was red carded, Daniel had a yellow, their 11 had nothing. Several times in the second half their keeper threw the ball out, from our position he was standing outside the area but the linesman our side however wasn't in line with the area to confirm it. He also missed a blatant trip on Craig Jones when he was just outside the area so we didn't get the rub of the green with the officials. With 10 minutes to go Jay made a good save from 10 yards then two minutes later Caerleon hit the post from 8 yards and managed to turn the rebound over the bar from 3. The nearest we came to scoring in the later stages was when Ianto turned provider and Shaun Best hit a first time effort wide, then Corey Thomas shot over when well placed. Then with a minute to go Dan Williams needlessly handled in the area to concede his second penalty which was duly despatch.

A disappointing end to a successful season but even in tonight's game we gave two youth players their full debut which must be to the club's advantage in the future.
