WE WENT DOWN TO STEBO ON MON TO COMPETE WITH THE SPANISH ARMADA.

LLANELLI WERE FIELDING 4 SPANIARDS. UNFORTUNATELY WE TURNED UP LATE THINKING IT WAS 7.30KO.WHEN IN FACT IT 7KO (THANKS PHIL).

WE KNEW THAT WE WOULD UP AGAINST A WELL ORGANISED TEAM WITH PETER NICHOLAS NOW AT THE HELM ORCHESTRATING MATTERS THROUGH THE COACHES OF THE 21'S.

THE GAME WAS PRETTY EVEN UP TO THE 20 MINUTE WHEN A QUICK FREE-KICK CAUGHT US OUT DOWN OUR RIGHT AND A PERFECT CROSS WAS CONNECTED   TO SLOT PASS WYN FROM CLOSE RANGE.

AND 1-0 DOWN AND HARDLY A WARM UP TO BOAST ABOUT THE FIRST HALF WAS RELATIVELY PLEASING TO PHIL HOLMES WITH COREY THOMAS (WHO, INCIDENTALLY MADE HIS DEBUT) AND THOMAS EDWARDS CAUSING THEIR DEFENDERS A FEW PROBLEMS.

WITH THE 2ND HALF 10 MINS OLD JOSH COKELEY GAMBLED ONTO A THROUGH BALL MISTIMED BY THE KEEPER AND JOSH TUCKED IT IN FROM THE TIGHTEST OF ANGLES.

10MINS LATER WE WERE UNLUCKY TO NOT ONLY CONCEDE A  PENALTY BUT ALSO LOSE RHYS OWEN FOR HAND BALL.

WHEN WYN DECIDED THE CORRECT WAY WE THOUGHT LADY LUCK WAS ON OUR SIDE BUT 5MINS LATER LLANELLI WENT 2-1 UP.

WITH 15 MINS LEFT OF THE GAME WE INTRODUCED OUR THIRD AND LAST SUB PHIL HOLMES. PHIL WASN'T CONTENT WITH 2-1 DOWN AND TRYING TO PINCH SOMETHING FROM A SET PIECE. HE WANTED WHAT HE CAME FOR WHICH WAS ALL 3 POINTS.

HE WENT ON UP FRONT TO PARTNER THOMAS EDWARDS.

IT WORKED A TREAT AS WITH 10 MINS REMAINING TOM SCORED THE EQUALISER. WITH LIDO GAINING MOMENTUM GOING INTO THE LAST 5 MINS YOU COULD SEE DETERMINATION IN THEIR PLAY TO GET ALL 3.

 

WE GOT OUR REWARDS WHEN TOM AGAIN LATCHED ONTO A ROUTE ONE BALL FROM KEEPER WYN WATERS TO SEN THE BALL THROUGH THE LLANELLI KEEPERS LEGS. LIDO HELD ON FOR THE REMAINING 4 MINS STILL UNDER PRESSURE FROM A GUTTED IMPRESSIVE LLANELLI OUTFIT.

Wyn Walters, Craig Martin and Phil Holmes were the overage players.
