Goodwick United 1
Angle 2

ANGLE upset the odds to beat Goodwick by two goals to one on Saturday to pick up their first win of the season. They started confidently with Lewis Banks and Karl Hedley dominating the midfield, keeping the ball well and providing a number of chances for the Goodwick attackers. Kieran O’Brien was prominent with several excellent passes and it was from one of these that Goodwick took a deserved lead after twenty minutes. O’Brien’s pass tore open the Angle back line and the ball was pulled back for Johnny Horgan to fire into the net.

To their credit, Angle kept battling and slowly worked their way into the game. Goodwick’s passing lacked sharpness and accuracy and from Angle had a couple of half chances to equalise before half time which they failed to take. In the second half Goodwick had plenty of possession but they did not create any clear cut chances. Angle were defending in numbers and content to hit Goodwick on the break with their pacey forwards. Angle equalised in a bizarre incident when a cross from the left was collected by keeper Gwillt.

He threw the ball out but this hit his defender Banks on the back of the head and fell to Lee Duignan who tapped the ball into the net. Goodwick were stunned and all of a sudden Angle were on the front foot winning possession and continually stretching the Goodwick defence. Angle then took the lead after Goodwick had lost the ball in midfield and a quick accurate through ball was pounced upon by Duignan who held off Scott Delaney and fired left footed past Gwillt. Goodwick had efforts by Delaney and Horgan to equalise but Angle held out to gain an unexpected hard earned win.

Angle will be hoping to build on this win when they take on Resolven on Saturday in the West Wales Cup. Goodwick will look to bounce back when they take on Saundersfoot Sports. Goodwick United: James Gwilt, Llyr Tobin, Wayne O’Sullivan, Nigel Delaney, Scott Delaney, Robert Morgan, Lewis Banks, Johnny Horgan, Stephen Evans, Kieran O’Brien.

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.
