Afan Lido 4-0 Ammanford

The first chance of the game fell to Chris Latham who fired wide from the edge of the box.  On 15 minutes Craig Jones played the ball wide to Carl Edwards who made ground and his cross put the visiting defence under pressure before they cleared for a corner.

Craig then played Shaun Best in but the Ammanford keeper narrowed the angle and made a good save from Shaun's effort. On 28 minutes Ammanford had their best chance to date but debutant keeper Rory McCreesh made a fine save to his left.
We took the lead on the half hour, Chris Latham just beat the keeper to a Shaun Best cross then followed up to blast the ball home from two yards!  Carl Edwards continued to make ground down the right wing and sent over a stream of good crosses all night.  Craig Jones got on the end of one after 38 minutes but was unable to score, his effort finding the side netting.

Matt Lavis doubled the lead on 42 minutes with a speculative 25 yard shot which the keeper failed to hold, this was his first goal of the season.

At half time Corey Thomas replaced Craig Jones and within five minutes he had his first chance. Ali Walkley fed him and he lobbed the keeper but the ball drifted just the wrong side of the post.  After 55 minutes Chris Latham found himself unmarked in front of goal he steadied himself and scored his sixth goal of the season with ease.

Two minutes later Corey Thomas made it four when he again lobbed the keeper for his fourth reserve goal of the season. On 63 minutes Remi Whitelock who had just replaced Chris Latham hit a left footer just wide from the edge of the box. 

Ten minutes from time Shaun Best fired straight at the keeper and put the rebound wide and just before time Remi Whitelock had another effort well saved by a now overworked keeper.
