AFTER last week’s win, Milford wanted to continue their form and add another three points to the table, and did so producing a sterling performance on Saturday (Oct 29) to beat visitors Gwernyfed 13-0.

The home side failed to convert early opportunities as they created chances from the start.

After the first 15 minutes, it looked like it was going to be one of those days where they could never find the backboard.

Sustained pressure from the home side took its toll and they gained the lead midway through the first half as Steph Layton slotted home from close range.

Goals came at regular intervals after the initial break through as Milford moved the ball well and over ran the visitors defence, adding a further five goals before the break.

Elyse Morgan, Meg Jones and a first half hat trick from Rachel Coe realistically left Gwernyfed with no way back.

With momentum in the home side’s favour, the second half was much the same as the first as they started strongly and extended the lead early on despite losing talented teenager Meg Jones to a head injury.

Milford then turned the screw, showing good skill and fitness levels to outclass Gwernyfed, although credit goes to the visiting goalkeeper, who made some superb saves.

There was very little to do defence-wise for the home side but the backs linked well with the forwards, keeping the pressure on the visitors, resulting in an additional seven goals in the second period.

Rachel Coe completed a double hat trick, assisted with goals from Charlotte Davies, Meg Evans and two from Elyse Morgan, to complete her third hat trick in three games.

It was an excellent performance by the squad and they will be pleased to pick up three points. Milford could easily have taken their foot off the gas and got complacent at half time but showed good attitude and commitment throughout the game.

Squad: Emma Summons Capt, Yasmin Riggs, Vicki John, Kate Farr, Jane Jordan, Meg Evans, Charlotte Davies, Rachel Coe, Elyse Morgan, Steph Layton, Jess Barrett, Meg Jones, Danielle Pitcher-Schofield.

The club would like to thank their match sponsor, Brenda Taylor.

Milford’s next game takes place on Saturday (Nov 5) away to Cardiff Met.

Cup final dream slips away as Newcastle Emlyn battle back to seal 20-19 win in windy Carmarthenshire Cup clash

AMMAN UNITED YOUTH saw their Carmarthenshire Cup final hopes ended in heartbreaking fashion on Saturday (Apr 4) as Newcastle Emlyn snatched a 20-19 victory in a dramatic semi-final.

Played in difficult, windy conditions, the contest was fiercely competitive throughout, with Amman left to rue a series of handling errors that allowed the visitors back into the game.

Newcastle Emlyn made the stronger start, taking an early 3-0 lead through a penalty and then missing a chance to add to their tally.

Amman responded well and took control of the first half. Captain Ceian Lewis crossed following a well-worked catch-and-drive to put his side 5-3 in front. Toby Slater then produced an excellent touchline conversion in tough conditions to extend the lead to 7-3.

Amman continued to build momentum when Harvey Duncan made a sharp break down the wing to score their second try. Slater was again on target with an impressive conversion in the wind, giving his side a 14-3 lead at the break.

But the game turned soon after the restart. A costly Amman mistake allowed Newcastle Emlyn back into the contest, with the visitors scoring in the corner before adding the conversion to close the gap to 14-10.

Amman appeared to have steadied themselves when Kelston Fairhurst powered over from another catch-and-drive, stretching the lead to 19-10.

However, Newcastle Emlyn refused to give in. Strong forward play brought them another try, and the conversion cut the deficit to just two points at 19-17 as the pressure mounted in the closing stages.

The decisive moment came in the final five minutes when another Amman handling error handed Emlyn a crucial opportunity. The visitors worked their way into range and slotted a late penalty to edge ahead 20-19.

Amman had one final chance to rescue the game and opted for a catch-and-drive from a late penalty, having already found success with that tactic earlier in the match. This time, though, Newcastle Emlyn held firm to deny them and secure their place in the final.

It was a bitter end for Amman United Youth, who had looked in control at half-time, but Newcastle Emlyn showed resilience and composure when it mattered most.
