Afan Lido 2-0 Pontardawe Town

 
Pontardawe had the early pressure but we took the lead on 19 minutes when a long ball from Carl Evans caught out the visitors defence for Chris Latham to just beat the keeper to the ball and score his seventh goal of the season. 

Five minutes later Jay Evans in goal made a terrific double save to protect the lead. First of all he punched clear under pressure and as the forward shot he dived to push the ball clear. We went 2-0 up after 27 minutes when Shaun Best netted his eighth goal of the season. 

On the half hour Mitch Patton played the ball over the top for Chris Latham but this time the keeper just won the race for the ball. The second half was almost a repetition of the Morriston game as we were being caught offside virtually every time we tried to attack. As a result Pontardawe monopolised possession and most of the game was played in our half. 

Our only shot of the second half came with eight minutes to go when Neal Hendra made space for himself but fired over the bar.
