Briton Ferry Llansawel vs Cwmbran Celtic

Celtic traveled down the M4 to Old Road, home to League joint leaders Briton Ferry Llansawel hoping to pick up at least a point.

The home side were first to strike when inform Luke Bowen found himself free just inside the box and lashed a powerful shot past Celtic keeper Lewis Watkins in the 11th minute to give his team the lead. Celtic were then spurred on with attacks down the left flank. Dom Conner went on a great run, with his cross finding Alex Bonthron at the near post who clipped the ball in past Rhys Wilson to level the score at 1-1 after 18 minutes. But Ferry hit back within 3 minutes with a goal from Connor Goldworthy, which Celtic strongly thought was offside. But the ref thought otherwise. The game played out the half with chances falling for both teams but they failed to take them.

Half-Time 2-1

In a game that was very competitive, but fair, in wet conditions both teams did well to play some good football. Ferry pressed to try to find a third goal to finish off the game, which they found through Tyler Brock on 64 minutes to increase their lead to 3-1. Celtic Striker Tom Meechan went very close to pegging back a goal for Celtic when he found himself just outside on the penalty area, a curved shot to the right of the goal cleared the outstretched had of Wilson, only for the ball to hit the bar and bounce down just out of the reach of Bonthron. Celtic kept pushing to get their second goal, which they got when substitute Josh Rippon poked the ball home after a melee in the goal area after a corner. But unfortunately for Celtic time ran out, and their hard work in this game was all in vain.
