WELSH LEAGUE U19

 
LLANELLI 0-1 AFAN LIDO

By Peter Reynolds

A penalty 14 minutes from time gave us the three points and Stebonheath.
We played against a strong wind in the first half and other than Llanelli having a goal disallowed after
two minutes we defended well.  

We almost took the lead on 7 minutes when Shaun Best forced a diving save from the Llanelli keeper and generally had the better of the half although David Anderson in goal made one fine save just before half time.

With the elements at our back we pushed forward and a move involving Remi Whitlock, Corey Thomas and Steve Hughes resulted in Steve shooting wide when well placed.  On 49 minutes David Anderson made a fine double save to keep the scores level and we returned to the attack only for Remi Whitlock to shoot over the bar following a pass from Shaun Best.

On 63 minutes a goal bound header from Carl Payne from a Josh Cockings free kick was well saved by the keeper.  The breakthrough came on 76 minutes, substitute Josh Cokeley shot and it was handled in the box.  Remi Whitlock fired home to score what turned out to be the only goal.  On 86 minutes Corey Thomas fired wide and Remi tried his luck from 40 yards but his effort sailed over the bar.  In added on time David Anderson made a terrific save to preserve our lead when he dived to his left to save Llanelli's last effort.
