report by Peter Reynolds
We overcame a
determined Dinas Powys side on a heavy pitch with goals from Carl
Evans and Ian Jones.
On 7 minutes Karl Lewis played the ball forward to Steve Parry who
played the ball in to John Felton who turned his defender but
fired over the crossbar from the edge of the area.
On 18 minutes the
home side took the lead, we lost the ball deep in our half and
their 9 closed down on Brian who made a tremendous save but
unfortunately the ball rebounded to the 10 who fired home from
outside the box.
Straight from the
kick off Greg Hurley crossed for Steve Parry but he fired over the
bar. On 29 minutes a through ball from Karl Lewis found Ian Jones
in space wide right but he was unable to make a clean contact on
the ball and the chance went.
On 38 minutes
more good work by Karl Lewis gained us a right wing corner, Steve
Parry played the ball back in and the home side conceded another
corner. This time the ball reached Carl Evans on the edge of the 6
yard box and he bundled the ball home to level the scores.
Just before half
time Carl Evans tried his luck from 35 yards and ensured the home
keeper was on his toes.
We kicked off the second half and within seconds Ianto almost put
us ahead but his close range effort went just over the bar.
We stayed on the
offensive and Paul Evans crossed over the keeper and the central
defence did well not to get a touch which would almost certainly
resulted in an own goal. On 59 minutes a Karl Lewis throw found
Greg Hurley in space and his first time shot was well saved by the
keeper.
On 66 minutes
John Felton was just wide with a left footed effort from wide.
Substitute Craig Jones put the ball in the net but was adjudged
offside. On 77 minutes Brian made an unbelievable save to deny
Dinas Powys taking the lead, we cleared the ball and found Ian
Jones who drilled home a right footer from the edge of the area.
The home side pushed forward looking for an equaliser but despite
a couple of scares we held out to secure the three points.
