report by Peter Reynolds
Welsh cup 2nd round.
We progressed to
Round three of the FAW Welsh cup with a comfortable win at Jenner
Park.
Apart from the
opening quarter of an hour, it was a case of getting the job done
and putting away our chances.
Once we'd got over
their opening spell, we settled down and played some excellent
football but we couldn't finish off what we were creating.
An example was Ian
Jones shooting wide from five yards after 28 minutes. Chances also
fell to John Felton and Shaun O'Leary before Ian finally broke the
deadlock on 38 minutes.
Liam fed him and
he drew the keeper who actually made a block on the shot but it had
enough pace on it to beat the keeper and lob up under the crossbar,
John Felton followed it in but didn't get a touch.
Within 2 minutes
Karl Lewis doubled the lead with a power drive from thirty yards
that beat the keeper and hit the inside of the post before settling
in the net.
Shaun O'Leary
almost made it three before half time but lost his footing at the
vital moment. However within seven minutes of the restart a
through ball from Liam found Ian whose fierce drive was just touched
by the keeper onto the crossbar and the ball fell kindly for John
Felton to head home.
We then played
some terrific football against a tiring defence, Craig Jones hit the
crossbar on 76 minutes but within a minute Liam set up the fourth
which Matt Lavis side footed home for his first goal at this level.
Brian Thomas had
been a virtual spectator but he was called on twice in the final ten
minutes, the first an easy save, the second, he tipped over a fierce
shot from Barry 10 Zak Misbah to keep the clean sheet.
