Lido
beat Welshpool and make the final
|
|
This squad of players today took
Afan Lido FC into its biggest day in it's 40 year history.
At Park Avenue Aberystwyth
Afan Lido were long shots and underdogs against Euro hopefuls and one of the
top teams in welsh domestic soccer. But some one forgot to tell our players
that today, as we took the game to Welshpool and should have won without going
to penalties on the chances and possession we enjoyed.
We were 1-0 done at half time
to an Aden Shannon goal, but Steve Parry drew us level on 72 mins and
Welshpool did had the chance to go 2-0 up but missed a penalty.
Extra time remained goalless
and we came out 7-6 winners in a nail biting penalty shoot out.
We now await the winners of
tomorrow's 2nd cup semi final between Llanelli and Carmarthen.
Great day for the red half of
town.

Squad
in confident mood for Welshpool
|
|
The news on Dan Williams leg
injury doesn't make for good reading, It is looking like Dan could be out for
a minimum of 3 weeks.
In the latest training session
for the first team, the dynamic duo (Evo & Phil) asked the players if they
wanted to spend time practising penalties, to which they unanimously replied
"don't worry it won't go that far" Welshpool beware the boyz are
rearing to go.

Merthyr
gain revenge on youths
|
|
The Youths were away tonight
against league leaders, who were no doubt looking for revenge on the defeat
our lads dished out to them last week at the Marston. They did get revenge and
won well by a 5-0 scoreline, and ended our league unbeaten run, and
realistically any chance of winning the league. We are now 7 points adrift and
have also played a game more.

Lido gain
victory over Quins at a price
|
Tonight's victory and 3 points were marred
by a bad leg injury to Dan Williams, who was taken to hospital to check
on the leg. In one incident 3 players got their marching orders, Carl Evans
and 2 Grange players.
Any way back to the game tonight. We took
the lead on 9 minutes with a goal from Carl Evans, but the lead didn't last
long, we tended to sit back after going ahead and Grange got an equaliser on
26 minutes.
Craig Jones restored our lead in the 35
minute and in the 2nd half Liam McCreesh got the 3rd goal which sealed the
victory and ends Quins 3 match unbeaten run, it also moves us up 1 place to
5th ahead of Aberaman on goal difference.

sides. Rangers had a landslide victory 11-0 away to Baglan, while the Colts
lost narrowly 1-0 at Trefelin.
Our under 12 Reds took on top of

In the end it was the home
side Porthcawl who just came out on top winning by 3-2. And their lead at the
top is now extended to 6 points.
Our under 11's had a 11 a side
game against our under 12 Blues who had a free Saturday. And the elder boys
came out 3-2 winners (Though the 11's gaffer swears one was off side:)
The U11's goal
scorers were Sam tucker and Kane Devonald, and a special mention to young Sam
Tucker whose birthday is today "many happy returns Sam"
The

Tonight the first team were held
to a 1-1 draw against Taffs Well, we went behind to a goal in the 68th minute,
but Ianto scored the equaliser in the 73rd minute, but could not get a winner.
Better news for our youths who
were at home to table toppers Merthyr Tydfil, the lads came out 3-1 winners to
take our unbeaten league season's tally to 16 games, it was Merthyr's first
league defeat of the season.
It puts the team to within a
point of the leaders, but they have two games in hand. Our scorers were Steve

up.
Brian Thomas - Chris
Latham - Steve Parry - Dan Williams - Justin Williams - Craig Martin -
Liam McCreesh - Paul Evans - Ian Jones - Craig Jones - Greg Hurley.
Subs: Matt Lavis - Phil
Holmes - Rory McCreesh.
Things didn't quite go
to plan at the start of the match as Ponty got off to a flying start and took
the lead in the 2nd minute.
Things took a turn for
the worse on 26 minutes as Pontypridd doubled their lead to make it 2-0.
Just before half
time Ponty stamped their dominance on the game by adding a 3rd, and to make
things worse for the Lido Liam McCreesh got sent off.
Half time Ponty
3-0 Lido.
The 2nd half
Ponty took their foot off the gas, content to sit on their 3-0 lead and a player
advantage, to see out a 3-0 home win. Next
up this Saturday we look to get back to winning ways when Maesteg visit the
Marston. No

Lido Ladies league update
|
|
At long last I have been able to
get my hands on the latest round of games played in the Ladies league and so
been able to update the table.
Sunday's round of games saw
three fixtures take place, Pontypridd who recently beat us 3-0, were
demolished at home by UWIC 7-0, that win keeps UWIC 2nd on the tail of
Pontardawe who beat the much improved Haverfordwest team 4-0. The other game
saw Bridgend end an 8 match winless streak as they beat Ferndale 4-3.
Next up for the Ladies team is
on Sunday when Haverfordwest are the visitors to the Marston, we won that game
3-2 on the opening day of the season, but the Ladies of Harry West have put in
some good performances over their last 4 games, drawing with Newport and
Ferndale, they have suffered the same fate as the Lido team and that being a
severe shortage of players, so it should be a good game well worth watching.

Merthyr took another small step
in securing the Youth division west title yesterday when the easily saw off
Pontardawe 4-1 at home.
The win see's them open up a 5
point gap at the top over us, and still with a game in hand, the only other
team who catch us in 2nd place (West End) were also in action, when they
played out a 2-2 draw at Neath. West End are just 6 points behind us but
with 3 games in hand.

Reserves
go back top of the table
|
|
Lido Reserves took advantage of
leaders Goytre's inactivity to go back top of the table following their 2-0
home win over bottom side Morriston Town.
Though Goytre are well placed
to reclaim top spot, as they are just a point behind with 2 games in hand.

|
Neath
open 5 point gap at the top
|
|
Neath extended their lead at the
top of the table to 5 points over Pontypridd, Neath were 2-1 home winners over
Maesteg Park.
Neath have taken over from
Pontypridd as likely champions, as Neath extended their unbeaten run to 14
games, and 5 wins on the trot. Pontypridd were held 2-2 at Newport YMCA their
3rd draw in their last 5 games, and that loss of 6 points has allowed Neath to
move clear.
Champions Goytre came out on
top at Glenhafod Park beating Croesyceiliog in a tight scoring game 3-2, they
now move up to 4th, ahead of Aberaman who were held to a 2-2 draw at Dinas
Powys.
Ton Pentre remain 3rd with a
comfortable 3-0 home win over homeless Bridgend Town.
So not a good day for the Lido
results wise, if we win our games in hand over the teams above we would pass
Pontypridd, Goytre and Ton Pentre, but even if we win the 6 games in hand
against Neath we would still be a point adrift, so we cannot afford to drop a
single point in the run in as long as Neath continue to surge ahead of the
rest of the teams.
Tuesday against Pontypridd and
Saturday against Maesteg could see us maintain our title hopes by claiming 6
points, or leave us with a seemingly impossible task if we don't.

With no first team game this
weekend and no training until Monday night, some of the squad have turned to

Two of those involved with
alternative training were non other Gaffer Evo and top draw player Greg
Hurley. But it turned out to be a one sided match up, a master vs. apprentice
contest.
The game was FIFA 2007 and
things went the way of the gaffer by a very close scoreline of

Last weekend just gets better,
today I received an email from Geoff Davies telling me that our under 10's
also took part in the Welsh 5 a side championships as well, and they are also
Welsh champions, they played teams from
Bridgend, Cardiff, Gwent, Rhondda and West Glamorgan, and won every game, and
only conceded just one goal along the way.
Another excellent achievement
by the club, under the leadership of coaches Kirk Thomas, Geoff Davies and
Neil Thomas.
Our super achievers were: Aaron
Davies (GK), Jake Howe, Aaron Goff, Harri Kain-Thomas, Jared Price, Matthew
Morgan, Jordan Lloyd & Ethan Robinson.
Well
done to all involved with the under 10's.
The
under 10 Colts were also in action on Saturday, and
the Colts won their 3rd game of the season beating Cwmavon 7 – 2.
They totally dominated the game and only let Cwmavon in when they were
comfortably ahead and relaxed. Goal scorers were Callum Curtis 3, Joshua
Thomas, Jordan Noakes 2 & Liam Lewis scoring his first goal for the club.
Man of the match went to Callum Curtis.

face Newcastle Emlyn at the Marston. A special note of thanks goes to
Newcastle who were very obliging in agreeing to change the kick off time.
The 3rds are in action at
2:30 when they take to field away to Trefelin, this will be a tough game for
the 3rds as Trefelin are currently 2nd in the table. They came out 2-1 winners
in October when they met in our home league game.
The Ladies have no game this
weekend, and the youths are out on Tuesday when the visitors are ENTO
Aberaman.

Another
record month for the website
|
|
The websites popularity
continues to grow, with a new record monthly figures.
For February we had 9,483 (28
days) visits an average of 339 a day.
We also broke the daily
record 3 times with 425, 528 and on Feb 28th we really raised the bar when we
had 766 visits.
If these recent figures
continue we will easily smash the 10,000 barrier for March.
The welsh soccer news
continues to be the major attraction, attracting many non Lido visitors, plus
the added spice of Saturdays game has brought more visitors, hopefully we can
maintain the growing trend.

include February as well.

Reserves
have an easy win 4-0
|

The reserves made light work of Ammanford's
recent good form. They ran out comfortable 4-0 winners, with a brace from
Chris Latham, Corey Thomas and Matt Lavis scored the other 2.
Tonight's
win takes the boys top of the league.
