report by Peter Reynolds
We paid for
missing several chances by conceding an equaliser with 3 minutes
to go. Liam McCreesh was injured which resulted in the game
being held up for about 10 minutes. Both trainers treated him and
Phil Robinson also attended him.
Once Phil
had checked him out he was removed on a stretcher and treated by
paramedics and taken to Morriston Hospital, at the moment I
haven't heard how he is.
After 3 minutes a Craig Martin through ball was picked up by Liam
in the area, he seemed to be nudged off the ball but nothing
was given. On 9 minutes Shaun O'Leary knocked the ball wide to Ian
Jones, he cut inside beat a defender and shot but the keeper
turned it over for an unproductive corner. A minute later they
shot wide from a good position then Craig Martin got in a
good block to deny their 9. We went down and John Felton played
the ball wide to Chris Piper his cross was cleared. Steve
Parry took a long throw and Ian Jones in a good position failed to
get any power in his shot, it fell to John Felton but his
shot was cleared.
Liam was injured
after 22 minutes, Shaun O'Leary knocked a good ball to Greg Hurley
on the right, both Liam and Ian Jones attacked his cross and got
in each others way. Both lay inured but Ian got to his feet
after a couple of minutes. While Liam was down both sides left the
field while he was being treated. Eventually after about 10
minutes the game restarted. Four minutes after the restart a ball
over the top found John Felton with only the keeper to beat
but he shot straight at him at a good height and it was saved at
the expense of a corner. Ton then had a good spell without
creating any major problems then just before half time Ton
conceded a free kick on the edge of the area Steve Parry took
the kick but it was cleared.
In the second
half Ton came more into the game in the early stages creating
plenty of pressure without any end product, we seemed unable
to win any ball in midfield. Ton had a number of corners but all
were cleared, we broke out of this period and John Felton got
to the ball just ahead of the keeper and knocked it goalwards but
just short of the line it was cleared in an acrobatic style.
We took the lead on 81 minutes when Shaun O'Leary found Paul
Evans, he passed to John Felton in the box, John was tackled
and the ref adjudged it worthy of a penalty. Ian Jones took it and
scored. As has been the case lately we couldn't hold the
lead, with 3 minutes to go, we had a throw in line with the
penalty area. Instead of throwing down the line it was thrown
inside to Karl Lewis, he was hemmed in by a couple of attackers
and played it across the area straight to their sub who scored
with a shot to Brian's right. We came back with a couple of long
range efforts but failed to trouble their keeper.
