Goodwick United FC

GOODWICK UNITED eased past Milford United on Thursday night as they ran out 7-0 winners with Steffan Williams scoring a hat trick.

The league leaders started the game well and could have gone ahead inside the first minute when Adam Raymond launched an audacious attempt from 50 yards but his effort bounced back off the bar.

They took the lead with ten minutes gone when Steven Dockerty played the ball through for Rhys Dalling and he shot into the bottom right corner of the net.

Dalling nearly had a second six minutes later when he intercepted a quick free kick from Milford’s Chris Davies but Dalling sent his shot over the bar.

With half an hour gone it was 2-0 to the visitors as a free kick from Adam Raymond was headed into his own net by Milford’s Ashley Mathias.

Dalling came close again but his curling shot from the edge of the box bounced back off the bar.

Goodwick then made it 3-0 when Wayne O’Sullivan headed Adam Raymond’s corner back across goal and Steffan Williams headed the ball in.

Just two minutes into the second half Goodwick made it 4-0 when Adam Raymond fired an excellent shot into the net from 20 yards.

It was five on the hour mark as Rob Morgans won the ball back before shooting low into the bottom right corner past Milford keeper Andrew Fairbairn.

Fairbairn was then in action again as he did well to keep out substitute Patrick Hughes’ shot.

With twelve minutes to go Goodwick won a free kick 25 yards out and Steffan Williams curled the ball over the wall and into the net.

He completed his hat-trick just a minute later when Darren Devonald crossed into the box and he headed the ball down and in off the post.

Milford threatened a late consolation when an Ashley Mathias corner was sent in but William Goodall’s header was blocked.

Goodwick saw out the remaining minutes for an impressive win which keeps them five points clear at the top of the table.

On Saturday, April 16, they play away at Angle before midweek games against Herbrandston on Tuesday and title rivals Hakin United on Thursday.

Elsewhere on Thursday, Hakin’s Nicky Woodrow took his tally of goals in the league to 20 as he scored twice in Hakin’s 4-0 win over Herbrandston with Ashley Bevan and Adam Davies grabbing the other goals.

Merlins Bridge won 2-1 over Tenby at the Racecourse with Lee Hudgell and Matthew D’Ivry getting the goals.

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.
