MAY 11

Afan Lido 5-0 Briton Ferry

After the disappointment of losing the League Cup when we conceded an equaliser 45 seconds plus added on time from the full time whistle and then losing the penalty shootout it was back to league action last night.

With nothing but pride to play for on a bitterly cold night and a strong wind blowing towards the clubhouse conditions weren't the easiest. Playing against the elements in the first half Luke Borrelli headed us in front on 12 minutes. Steve Hughes should have made it two on 51 minutes but the keeper saved his shot.  4 minutes later Luke Borrelli netted with a left footed shot to double the lead. On 59 minutes Damon Thomas headed in from a left wing corner and on 64 minutes Steve Hughes went down the right, cut in and passed to Luke Borrelli who netted to complete his hat trick.

With 8 minutes to go the Luke Borrelli show was complete when he netted his fourth and with 5 minutes to go Corey Thomas had an effort saved by the keeper who is now speaking with a high pitched voice!  Andrew Collins shot from 40 yards and hit the crossbar, the ball hitting the keeper when it rebounded but he managed to get back to save it before it went over the line. Only one game left for the 19's West End at home next week.
