OUR VETERANS

OVER 40S

Our 40s looked to build on their opening day victory as they entertained newcomers Hopkinstown at Penrhos. Llanelli went into an early lead on 12 minutes when Steve Davies chipped the ball over the oncoming keeper from outside the box. Dai Hughes then doubled the lead on 16 minutes with a powerful header leaving the keeper no chance. The reds were then enforced into a couple of changes due to injury and the half finished 2-0 as Llanelli lost their early fluidity. They soon found their rhythm in the second 45 and ran riot scoring a further 6 goals with 3 from goal machine Kevin Bartley, a brace from Steve Blackford and a cheeky back heel from Jamie Bowen to run out comfortable winners against our gallant visitors, who to their credit didn ’t stop battling in front of an excellent visiting support.

Our 50s entertained last season champions Merthyr & credit to the Reds give a good account of themselves .at the interval the visitors were one goal to the good by a nick Francis strike.The second half the Reds found it difficult to create any openings more to the credit of a well organised Merthyr team.reds stayed in the game untill the last 10mins before there resistance broke & Merthyr added a further 2 goals. Reds manager John taylor was full of praise after the match saying when you consider we had 4 influential players out after picking up injuries in the 1st game and still give Merthyr a stern test the lads can hold there heads up & we look forward to our next game where we entertain cwmbran in 2wks time
