report by Peter Reynolds
This was a top of
the table clash -- UWIC in third place and us in fourth.
Leading scorer
Ian Jones and Karl Reynolds both failed fitness tests so Chris
Piper and Shaun O'Leary came into the side that won at Ton Pentre
last time out.
It was a game of few chances, Justin Williams cleared one off the
line after 33 minutes and Wyn Walters made a good save just before
half time.
As the second half progressed it became apparent that one goal
would win this game.
Defences were generally on top and either a bit of brilliance or a
mistake would settle the outcome.
Sadly for us it was the latter, Craig Jones playing a square ball
hit a defender and the ball fell invitingly for Sam Small who
fired home from the edge of the area giving Wyn Walters no chance.
Our best chance came in the last ten minutes when a Karl Lewis
header brought a good save from former Lido keeper Brendan
Cropley.
Carl Evans was
injured in the first half and was replaced by Greg Hurley while
Justin Williams was injured in the second half and replaced by
Carl J Evans.
