report by Peter Reynolds
Two goals in just
over a minute secured the three points against Aberaman.
We played against a strong wind in the first half but settled the
better of the two sides. As early as the fourth minute a Greg
Hurley cross intended for Ian Jones was just cut out by the
keeper. The ball was cleared down the field and an Aberaman
striker had a snap shot from 25 yards but failed to trouble Brian.
On nine minutes a mix up between Paul Evans and Brian Thomas saw
Brian saving at the attackers feet at the expense of a
corner.
On 26 minutes
again Brian comfortably saved an Aberaman shot. We went down the
other end and Ian turned in the box but the defence crowded him
out. A length of the field move between Karl Lewis, Liam McCreesh
twice and Steve Parry twice almost resulted in the first goal but
the wind caught Steve's cross which drifted just over the goal
line. On 35 minutes a Steve Parry throw was headed out to Liam
whose first time shot went just wide. The last 10 minutes of the
first half saw us take control although we failed to score the
signs were good for the second half.
With the wind at
our backs it was a case of judging our passes, Matt Lavis played
Greg Hurley in wide right and he drilled the ball across the face
of the goal but no-one could get on the end of it. Ianto then
played Greg in but his shot from 20 yards was straight at the
keeper.
On 64 minutes we
took the lead, a Steve Parry long throw was headed behind for a
corner. Paul Evans at the far post hit the post with his header
but the ball rebounded to him and he calmly guided the ball home
for his first goal of the season. Almost from the kick off Steve
Parry received the ball wide left and his diagonal cross was met
by John Felton to nod home the second. From another cross from
Steve Liam headed just wide and 5 minutes from time Greg set up
Liam who fed John Felton but he hit the top of the crossbar with
his effort.
