Morriston Town 1-1 Afan Lido

Match report by Peter Reynolds

The match was played in a torrential downpour which made it difficult for both sides.
After six minutes Steve Cook got back to back heel the ball off the goal line while on twenty one minutes Morriston hit the crossbar.

Karl Reynolds then forced their keeper into two fine saves in the space of a minute. On forty four minutes he made an instinctive one handed save from a close range effort from Neil Hendra.
On forty nine minutes Steve Osborne saved well to his left while their keeper again kept them in the game with a double save off Mitch Patton.

On seventy eight minutes a close range Karl Reynolds header seemed destined for the net but a defender managed to get in the way of it.  

The conditions were making for an open game and we again pressed forward only to have a corner.
From the corner the ref awarded us a penalty that Steve Osborne netted to give us the lead. Unfortunately with two minutes to go, a speculative shot from outside the area squirmed through his grip to produce the equaliser. Perhaps a fair result considering the conditions.  

Our only sub was Carl Hughes who had to replace Gary Isaacs who was injured in a tackle and went to hospital for an X-ray.

On Monday the Reserves play their final match when they play Pontardawe at
the Marston's Stadium.

It's Pontardawe's home match following the abandoned match a couple of weeks ago.
