Cullen scores twice as Swans sink Forest in FA Cup

SWANSEA City’s Liam Cullen scored twice on Saturday as he helped his side to a 5-1 thrashing over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.
It also set up a fifth round tie with Premier League giants Manchester City after they overcame their opponents Cheltenham Town.
Cullen, born in Tenby, netted the opener in the first half and added his second after half time.
He was denied the chance to go for an FA Cup hat-trick however as he limped off late on with an ankle injury.
Forest, perhaps with one eye on maintaining their Championship status, made ten changes for the game and featured two players that had recently returned from injury.
Swansea gave a debut to new signing Conor Hourihane
The game was only seven minutes old when Wayne Routledge crossed from the right and Cullen volleyed the ball back across goal and into the bottom corner, wrong-footing Forest’s stand-in keeper Jordan Smith.
Routledge was then forced off with an injury but his replacement was the in-from Jamal Lowe.
He almost made an instant impact as he was sent through on goal but his touch let him down and Smith was able to claim the ball.
Forest threatened briefly when Joe Lolley crossed into the box but the Swans were able to clear before Anthony Knockaert could get on the end of it.
The Swans were almost two ahead when Forest defender Joe Worrall headed the ball towards his own goal but from the resulting corner they doubled their lead in stunning fashion.
The corner was cleared but the home side played the ball to Matt Grimes, captain for the game, who unleashed an unstoppable shot that flew past Smith and into the top right corner.
Connor Roberts then came close with a header and he also had the ball in the net a minute later but the goal was ruled out for offside.
Forest made two subs at the start of the second half and came out the better side. Joe Lolley went close but his shot was saved by Swans keeper Woodman.
Then, shortly before the hour mark, the Reds were back in it. Lolley gathered the ball in the box but when he was brought down the ball fell to Knockaert who fired in to make it 2-1.
However, any hopes Forest had of mounting a comeback were soon dashed as two minutes later the Swans were awarded a penalty.
Joe Worrall was adjudged to have fouled Ryan Manning although replays suggested Manning stuck his foot towards Worrall’s leg to win the foul.
Grimes sent the keeper the wrong way to score his second of the afternoon and put the Swans 3-1 ahead.
Manning also came close to scoring but Smith was able to palm away his effort.
He then turned provider as he crossed into the box for Cullen who shot low into the bottom left corner to make it 4-1.
The Swans had already made their five substitutions before Cullen went off injured but that didn’t stop them.
With five minutes to go Jamal Lowe saw his shot blocked but the ball fell to sub Ollie Cooper whose shot squirmed in despite Smith’s best efforts.
It was an excellent display from the Swans who will now look forward to their fifth round tie with Manchester City.
Before that though they face two crucial Championship games, at home to Brentford on Wednesday before a trip to Rotherham on Saturday.

Llangwm edge past Tish to book Harrison Allen quarter final spot

LLANGWM secured their place in the quarter finals of the Harrison Allen Bowl on Wednesday night (May 25) as they beat St Ishmaels by 4 runs.
Tish won the toss and chose to field and they restricted Llangwm to 146-9 in their 22 overs.
Noah Davies and Joe Kiff made a good start for the hosts as they shared 67 runs for the first wicket.
Kiff was the first man to go as he was caught by Ieuan Hawkins off the bowling of Brennan Devonald on a score of 27 that had included two fours and two sixes.
Soon after, Davies, who had hit one of each boundary in his score of 27, was also following Kiff back to the pavilion after being bowled by Jonathan Pawlett.
Pawlett also claimed the wicket of Will Beresford before Steven Mills departed on a score of 16 (1 four, 1 six) when he was caught and bowled by Devonald.
That left Llangwm on 107-4 but scores of 15 from Matthew Kiff and 16 not out from David Lewis saw them to their total.
For Tish, Pawlett finished with excellent figures of 4-41 while Devonald finished with 3-25.
Peter Bradshaw hit two early fours in his score of 12 but he was run out.
Karl Rhead and Andrew Palmer shared 42 runs for the second wicket as Palmer made his way to a score of 35.
Rhead was bowled by Steven Mills who then did the same to Brennan Devonald moments later.
Palmer had reached 42 with five fours and a six but when he was brilliantly caught by Luke Brock off the bowling of Mills, Tish had slipped to 77-4.
Phil Cockburn and Jonathan Pawlett then shared 23 runs for the fifth wicket as they looked to keep Tish in the game.
Pawlett hit a six but was then caught by Oliver Davies to give Mills his fourth wicket and figures of 4-28.
Cockburn and Andew Pawlett then shared 37 runs for the sixth wicket as they took the tie down to the final over of the game.
They scored 17 runs off the 20th over and 18 runs off the 21st over meaning they would need 11 off the final over to win it.
Cockburn took a run off the first to bring Pawlett on strike. After missing the third ball he went for a run that wasn’t there and keeper Beresford ran out Cockburn.
He had hit two fours and three sixes in his score of 39 from 30 balls.
Andrew Pawlett and Andrew Williams could only take five runs from the next five balls but it wasn’t enough for victory.
Pawlett finished unbeaten on a score of 20 from 11 balls with one four and two sixes.
