Bluebirds beaten on the road

HAVERFODWEST County suffered defeat on Saturday (Feb 25) as their hopes of finishing seventh took a blow.
The Bluebirds had beaten Flint Town United last time out and were hoping to pick up another win but they came up against a Pontypridd side bouyed by their late show against Aberystwyth in their last game which saw them earn a 3-3 draw.
There was a chance for Ben Fawcett early on as he latched on to a long ball but his shot from the edge of the area went just wide.
In the 24th minute, Jordan Davies crossed the ball to the back post for Jazz Richards whose header back towards proved too hot for the Ponty keeper to handle who palmed the ball into the net.
However, nine minutes later the home side were back level as Kieran Lewis’ corner was headed in by Jarrad Wright.
The game remained 1-1 at the break with both sides keen to make a good start to the second half.
For the Bluebirds, it was anything but. Four minutes in, Oscar Borg was sent off for pulling down Ponty’s Ben Ahmun, giving the home side a free kick on the edge of the box.
Lewis stepped up and curled a brilliant effort into the net to put the home side ahead.
Ponty nearly added a third late on as the ball was sent through for Danny Williams but he could not beat Bluebirds keeper Zac Jones. The rebound fell to Owain Jones but he sent his effort over the bar.
