Bluebirds win top two clash

Monmouth Town 0
Haverfordwest County 2

Bluebirds fly high: Haverfordwest’s Sam Rodon looks to close down Monmouth’s Josh Bull
THE BLUEBIRDS came out on top in this top of the table clash to extend their lead at the top of Division One of the Welsh League to four points. Jordan Follows looked dangerous early on for the Blues and they could have gone ahead after ten minutes but after he collected Ricky Watts’ cross and beat two defenders he blazed his shot over the bar.
Both sides looked to get the all important first goal but both saw chances come to nothing. The first half finished goalless but the deadlock was finally broken just two minutes into the second half. Follows passed to Darren Griffiths who turned well and shot low into the net to give the visitors the lead. Monmouth could not get back into the game and the Blues grabbed their second with twenty minutes to go. Jack Britton’s corner found its way to Nicky Palmer who sent the ball back across goal for Dale Griffiths to head the ball home.
The Blues defense held firm late on as Monmouth pushed forward looking to get themselves on the score sheet. The Bluebirds were deserved winners and can look forward to their Welsh cup encounter with STM Sports on Saturday, October 4. Their next game in the league sees them travel to Ton Pentre on October 11. Haverfordwest County: Craig Morris, Ricky Watts, Antonio Facciuto, Sam Rodon, Dale Griffiths, Sean Pemberton, Chris O’Sullivan, Nicky Palmer, Declan Carroll, Jordan Follows, Darren Griffiths. Subs: Dan Evans, Greg Walters, Lewis Holder, Jack Britton.
