AFAN LIDO 0-0 MAESTEG PARK
Match report by Peter Reynolds

The scoreline just about sums up today's game. There were very few chances and not a lot of football. In one of our early attacks Craig Jones let fly but straight at the keeper. 

After 5 minutes Paul Evans battled well and won us a corner which was cleared. Dan Williams then cut out a Maesteg cross that looked as though it may cause us problems then on 12 minutes we suffered the miss of the match, a professional player would probably have nightmares after it, but in our case it went to the returning Piper. He was played in by a defender's poor touch but despite having time managed to hit Scants in goal and the ball went for a fruitless corner. 

Maesteg had a free kick on 25 minutes that went just wide, Brian was on his 6 yard line and could have been embarrassed had the kick been on target. Our only other chance of the half again fell to Piper who received a pass from Paul Evans and forced a fine save from Scants in the Maesteg goal.

In the second half we played with the breeze but other than a fine run down the left wing by Steve Parry who gained 50 yards and a corner after 50 minutes and a combined move between Greg Hurley, Paul Evans, Craig Jones who fed Ian Jones who shot just wide from the edge of the area there really wasn't anything in our performance to get excited about. 

This game had 0-0 written all over it from an early stage. Hopefully come Tuesday in Taffs Well we'll get back to our play from earlier in the season.
