Thursday September 7th 6:15pm Kick Off Afan Lido began the season with a midweek home fixture against Cwmavon Welfare. Lido were feeling confident and looking forward to the new campaign after making many new signings during the summer. The first half was evenly matched both teams had chances but neither capitalised. Unfortunately, the second half started with Lido losing the ball straight from the kick off and Cwmavon were able to brake away and score. Lido kicked off and this time kept possession and were able to create many chances which unfortunately they failed to put away. Cwmavon’s second goal, after 70 minutes, came from an individual run through the Lido’s defence which resulted in a left footed strike finding the back of the net. Cwmavon scored a late goal from the penalty spot. Lido felt hard done by and disagreed with the referee’s decision but the Cwmavon penalty taker kept his cool to score from the spot. This was not the start to the new season the Lido were hoping for but they are determined to re-group in readiness for Saturday. |
