Neyland 7

Saundersfoot Sports 3

NEYLAND were too good for Saundersfoot Sports on Saturday as they romped to a 7-3 victory over Saundersfoot Sports.

Both sides came into the game off the back of impressive wins in their last games and despite a slow start Neyland roared back to take the victory.

There were just two minutes on the clock when Saundersfoot took the lead as George Taylor robbed Paul Hannon of the ball before running on and firing a shot into the top of the net.

However, that lead only lasted a minute as Gary Power was sent through on goal and he lifted the ball over the keeper and into the net.

On target: Leigh Power scored two goals for Neyland

Saundersfoot’s players were convinced that Power had handled the ball in the build up but their appeals fell on deaf ears.

Neyland were then gifted a second goal when Sports keeper Ben Evans played the ball straight to Joe Charlton who curled the ball into the bottom right corner to give the Nomads the lead.

The Sports looked to get back into the game and came close on a couple of occasions as Jack Parkinson saw a shot go narrowly over the bar.

Saundersfoot almost levelled with fifteen minutes gone when Neyland’s keeper spilled a cross from Sam Coleman and Parkinson’s follow up effort was well saved.

Neyland had a third goal ten minutes before half time as Leigh Power headed the ball home from a corner.

They added a fourth nine minutes into the second half when Nathan Warlow tapped in after keeper Ben Evans failed to gather a cross.

The home side were not finished there and they had a fifth just five minutes later. Leigh Power got on the end of a forward cross and his header looped in over the keeper.

With twenty minutes to go Joe Charlton was brought down in the box and referee Ben Williams pointed to the spot. Charlton picked himself up and sent the keeper the wrong way to make it 6-1.

Saundersfoot did not give up and grabbed a consolation goal five minutes from time when Sam Coleman shot low into the bottom corner.

Two minutes later Neyland added a seventh when sub Aaron Mcquillan went on a mazy run into the box but after his shot was saved Sam Laugharne tapped the ball home.

Neyland were reduced to ten men with one minute of the ninety remaining as Wayne Parry was shown a second yellow card for a late tackle.

Then in stoppage time Saundersfoot added a third goal when Matt Webb tapped in after an initial header hit the bar.

The win sees Neyland move up to fourth in the table while Saundersfoot remain in the bottom two.

Neyland will look to continue their good run of form when they take on leaders Hakin next week. Saundersfoot will look to bounce back as they play St Clears.
