Trethomas Bluebirds vs Cwmbran Celtic

Match Report

We travelled to 2nd in the table Trethomas Bluebirds under the Ystrad Mynach floodlights minus five key players and put up a gallant rearguard action in going down to the only goal of the game in the 44th minute – a scrappy goal – the ball was played down the left into the 6-yard box to Ethan Edwards who had raced into the open space. He flicked the ball across goal. It was parried by Lewis Watkins, however the ball fell kindly to Gareth Tedstone, unmarked in front of goal, who steered the ball into the net. Trethomas had much the better of the play throughout the game and in the 2nd half Tedstone was denied a second goal by a brilliant diving save by Watkins. In the closing minutes a dreadful back pass across goal left the hosts with an open goal but the shot was spooned over the bar – a horrendous miss.
The weekend’s results for the bottom 5 resulted in wins for Afan Lido and Penrhiwceiber, a draw for Goytre United and losses for Celtic and Taffs Well who are now hot favourites for relegation being 8 points adrift with an inferior goal difference. Celtic’s next game is at home to Afan Lido – a massive 6-pointer.

MOM:  Dylan Dinham
