report by Peter Reynolds
In general we
controlled this game, restricting Pontardawe to a handful of
chances but we failed to make it count in front of goal.
We took the lead on 10 minutes when Ian Jones crossed for John
Felton to head over the keeper from ten yards.
Ponty equalised on 38 minutes when Steve Davies had the ball wide
right and his cross went straight over Brian into the back of the net.
The second half saw us create several chances but we were unable
to turn the chances into goals.
On 62 minutes Karl Lewis took a free kick from the 'D' but the
keeper dived to his right to save. Liam when well placed shot over
the bar then minutes later drew a good save from the keeper
following a corner.
On 74 minutes following a goalmouth scramble
the ball was eventually cleared. A minute later Karl Lewis had a
header cleared off the line, John Felton went through but the
keeper blocked his effort. With 5 minutes to go, a strong 40 yard
run by Ian Jones came to nothing when again the keeper closed him
down.
All in all, a good second half but a disappointment that we failed
to take one chance.
Craig Jones was carried off after 41 minutes and went to hospital
for a check up.
