CELTIC UNLUCKY TO LOSE AFTER A GALLANT DISPLAY
Cwmbran Celtic put up a stubborn rearguard display against title chasers Llanelli Town at Cwmbran Park and, although they were under the cosh for most of the game, they were only beaten by a penalty goal resulting from a very harsh decision in the 37th minute that Louis Cochrane pushed an opponent in the penalty box, Henry Jones converting from the spot. Incidentally, this was Louis’s debut for the 1st team having made 70 appearances for the Reserves.
Llanelli have only lost once in the league this season and are unbeaten away. They deserved their 4th successive win, not least because Cymru C international striker Ethan Cann was a constant threat. He could have had a hat-trick. In the 1st half he shot an overhead kick over the bar and brought a save from Hooper. In the 2nd half he shot just wide. Celtic rarely threatened the Llanelli goal, their best effort coming from Mario van Dieren who shot wide with a fine 35-yard effort in the 1st half.
