Afan Lido 2-0 Cardiff Corinthians
 

The Reserves completed their season with a 2-0 win over Cardiff Corries at the Marston's Stadium to finish in fourth place with 23 points. Shaun Morgan played in goal as Gareth Couch was suspended. We had an early chance when Adam Beynon turned and shot straight at the keeper who failed to hold it and the ball rebounded to Umberto Brassiello but he fired over the bar. Shaun Best gave us the lead after 15 minutes but Corries came back and somehow managed to hit the post from 3 yards.

Most of our efforts seemed to come from Shaun Best but the keeper was having a good game and kept his goal intact. 10 minutes before the interval Matt Beynon conceded a penalty, Shaun Morgan diving to his left made a fine save, again from the follow up a Corries player shot over the bar. In the second half Tom Darlington played a 1-2 with Shaun Best but again the keeper saved his shot. Shaun Best had a run on goal but took one touch to many and was crowded out.

In the closing minutes Shaun Best shot over the bar then Adam Beynon played a ball through for Umberto Brassiello but again the keeper saved his shot. In added on time Shaun Best went down the left and crossed the ball to the far post it came back in for Dan McGrath to head in.
