report by Peter Reynolds
A terrific win
against the runaway league leaders at Llandarcy on Wednesday
night.
We included
Andrew Pearson who has signed on dual forms from Port Talbot.
Ian Jones should have given us an early lead when clean through
but the Neath keeper saved Ian's shot.
Wyn Walters made
a couple of good saves especially one where he tipped over a shot
at full stretch.
We reached half
time with the match goalless but Neath took the lead on 56 minutes
after they were awarded a free kick. Wyn saved the shot but
unfortunately for us instead of it going over the bar for a corner
it hit the bar and bounced down and was forced over the line by
the incoming Carl Miller.
We equalised
almost immediately when Carl Edwards had the ball wide on the
right and drilled a shot into the far post from 25 yards.
Once again we had
some odd decisions from the officials and needless to say with 15
minutes to go Neath were awarded a penalty. Wyn Walters guessed
correctly and dived to his left to superbly save Jonathan
Keaveny's shot. Spurred on by this we looked the more likely to
win and with three minutes to go Karl Lewis leapt highest to a
Craig Jones free kick to power home the winner. Bizarrely the
referee found over 5 minutes of added time, luckily for him and us
Neath failed to find an equaliser.
