Offside: Rob Morgans thought he had scored but his effort was ruled out

GOODWICK UNITED made it through to the final of the Senior Cup for a second year in a row after they beat Milford United 2-0 on Tuesday night.

They will take on the winners of the other Semi Final between Johnston and Hakin which was played on Thursday night.

A good crowd gathered to watch the game which was played at the Conygar Bridge Meadow Stadium in Haverfordwest.

Both teams showed plenty of spirit with the referee having to blow the whistle on a number of occasions throughout the match.

It was Goodwick who started the stronger and they came close to taking the lead after ten minutes when Johnny Horgan’s shot came back off the post and into the keepers’ arms.

Milford came close to opening the scoring when a ball into the box was not dealt with by the Goodwick defence but keeper James Gwilt gathered the ball at the second attempt before Milford’s players could get to it.

Chris Thompson was proving a threat down the right hand side for Milford and after a good run he was brought down, giving them a free kick in a dangerous position but it came to nothing.

Tom Llewellin then battled well to win the ball back but his fizzing cross was cleared.

Shortly before the half hour mark Goodwick made the breakthrough when Rob Morgans played the ball through for Johnny Horgan who slotted the ball under the on-rushing Milford keeper and into the net.

Rhys Dalling then came close to doubling Goodwick’s lead when he picked up the ball on the half way line before running to the edge of the box but his fierce effort was pushed wide by Milford keeper Andrew Fairburn.

With five minutes to go until half time Dalling did get his name on the score sheet when he went one on one with the keeper before placing the ball into the bottom left corner of the net. The start of the second half was a scrappy affair with Milford guilty of a number of fouls.

Ten minutes in to the half Goodwick nearly added a third when a cross was dropped by Fairburn and the ball fell to Dalling but his effort was blocked by two Milford defenders.

Substitute Taku Padiwa then had Milford’s best chance of the game but his effort from the edge of the box was tipped over by James Gwilt.

Padiwa and fellow sub Liam Parr combined well down the right but there was no one on the end of the cross.

In the closing stages Goodwick were agonisingly close to a third goal when Rhys Dalling’s stunning shot from the edge of the box cannoned back off the cross bar.

They thought they had scored their third goal in stoppage time when Dalling played the ball to Rob Morgans who slotted the ball into the net but the linesman had flagged Morgans offside and the goal did not stand.

It stayed 2-0 and Goodwick who will now look forward to the final which is scheduled for Saturday, April 9.
