This was a practice match ahead of Llanelli's European match next week. We included a number of trialists one of them who scored in the fourth minute to give us the lead. Craig Jones was proving elusive on the right and a couple of times he cut in but Llanelli usually crowded him out before he could shoot. We almost went two up after 23 minutes when a Chris Piper shot hit a defender and lobbed over the keeper but hit the crossbar and away for a corner that was cleared. Having had a half time roasting Llanelli came up with more purpose in the second half and Craig Martin under extreme pressure did well to head a corner clear. 

However on 51 minutes we gave the ball away just outside the area and despite our keeper making an excellent save he couldn't save the follow up. On 57 minutes our keeper cleared the ball and despite having several defenders around him our triallist striker got his shot on target from 25 yards which forced the Llanelli keeper into a diving save. On the hour mark we made a couple of substitutions, Matt Lavis, Karl Roberts and Damon Thomas joining the action. On 69 minutes Llanelli went 2-1 up when a right wing cross was met on the volley by their number 9 giving our keeper no chance. 

Remi Whitelock then replaced Chris Piper and he made ground before passing to Craig Jones whose 25 yard effort went wide. Corey Thomas and Carl Payne were also introduced but within minutes Matt Lavis conceded a penalty, expertly saved by the keeper. With four minutes to go Llanelli and their 9 got the third, again they travelled down our left, the cross went beyond the far post and was knocked back in for their 9 to score.

All in all some good performances from our lads as we've only had one training session. The scores were level until we made a number of substitutions and gave the younger players a run out.
