Trefelin vs Cwmbran Celtic

Match Report

We went into the changing rooms at half-time feeling well satisfied having kept a clean
sheet for 85 minutes (45 in the first half of this game and in the last 40 of the previous game against
Afan Lido). However, Trefelin came roaring out of the blocks after the break, scoring 4 goals in 9
minutes to further cement our place at the bottom of the Cymru South.
We played some good football in the 1 st half and created 3 chances – on 13 minutes Joe Bowen
played the ball across field to Josh Hinwood who floated a cross to the right where Josh Gibson laid
the ball back to Andrew Larcombe who brought a fine diving save from Coughlin. On 33 minutes a
corner from Isaac Powell was met by a Josh Hinwood header which brought another fine save from
Coughlin. On the stroke of half time another Hinwood header, this time from a Joe Bowen free kick
was again saved by Coughlin. Trefelin had two good chances, the first a lob in the 20 th minute from
distance was easily dealt with by Lewis Watkins. The second, in the 35 th minute, brought a brilliant
diving save from Watkins.

Trefelin must have had a talking to at half-time because they came out for the 2 nd half pumped up.
On 50 minutes Roan Piper played the balI down the right to Jordan Vickers who crossed to find Piper
strolling into the 6-yard box to side foot the ball nonchalantly home. On 53 minutes Joseph Jones
stepped up to bundle a corner from Saunders into the net. One minute later Piper was on hand to
convert another side-footed goal from a cross from the right. Lewis Watkins brought off two saves as
the hosts continued their onslaught on our goal. In a rare counter-attack Hinwood
crossed for Josh Gibson to head wide at the far post but in the 59 th minute Josh Jones ran down the
left flank before unleashing a shot across the goal and into the net to put his team 4-0 ahead.
Trefelin did not ease up thereafter. They had 5 shots, two over the bar, one wide, one saved by
Watkins and one blocked. I could not identify the players because of the awful dark numbering on
the hosts’ red shirts. We had two chances, one over the bar and a great effort by Josh Gibson who
latched onto a misdirected header by a Trefelin defender and smashed his shot against the home
side’s post.
