JD WELSH CUP GLORY
9th December 2018
Llangefni Town progressed to the last 16 of the JD Welsh Cup following their impressive one goal to nil win against JD Welsh Premier oppositions Llanelli Town.
Alan Mark Owen’s goal in the 21st minute was enough to give Llangefni an impressive win in the much anticipated fixture in-front of a bumper Talwrn Road crowd.
The visitors came into the fixture full of confidence, having picked up some impressive results recently. Meanwhile, Llangefni had midfielder Chris Saxon out suspended and top scorer Kevin Lloyd out with an injury. Craig Roberts started for Cefni forming a vital part of their well-organised set up in midfield with captain James Saxon and Steve Kehoe.
Chris Jones, Jordan Follows and former Swansea City player James Loveridge started in attack for Llanelli who were looking to avoid a cup upset.
The game started with Cefni on the front foot, with three corner kicks forced by the home side inside the opening 10 minutes. A corner kick created Cefni’s first major chance in the sixth minute, with Dan Thomas nearly connecting with Liam Morris’ delivery.
James Saxon got an excellent chance on 11 minutes with his shot going straight to the hands of Oliver Davies in goal for Llanelli.
Llanelli began to hit back, with James Loveridge breaking through on goal in the 18th minute only to be ruled out by the offside flag.
In the 21st minute Llanelli again had to deal with Cefni’s pressure, as Kurtis March blocked a Liam Morris effort from the edge of the area. From the resulting corner, a flick on to the far post to Alan Mark Owen to smash in the opener from 3 yards out to send the home crowd wild. ( PICTURED)
Moments from the restart it was Alan Mark Owen once again through on goal, to force a brilliant save off Davies in goal.
The encounter began to have an end to end feel to it, Llanelli keeping possession well but struggling to break down the formidable Cefni defence, before Follows found himself in the final third, sending an attempt on goal just wide.
Llangefni continued to create chances right up until the interval, with a Alan Mark Owen’s shot from 20 yards out on 43 minutes hitting the post.
Llanelli went close in the 57th minute, with Jamie Owen getting to the edge of the six yard box only to send his effort over Steve Sinclair’s goal.
In the 69th minute Llanelli Town again went close, with Michael George sending a chipped ball glancing across the face of goal only for the ball to be cleared off the line by Gari Owen.
Cai Powell-Roberts then showed some great skill in the Llanelli area, beating his defender before sending a tight angled effort just wide.
From a long, bounding ball, Alan Mark Owen beat Llanelli one remaining defender to go one on one to slot the ball past the Llanelli keeper on an angle from around 12 yards, only for his second of the match to be disallowed by the offside flag.
Cefni then made changes as they looked to consolidate their lead, as Cai Powell-Roberts and the experienced Craig Roberts departed in place for Sean Pritchard and Marvin Pritchard.
The visitors were becoming frustrated as Cefni kept on blocking their offensive moves with time beginning to run out.
Cefni were still looking for a second to seal the win in the 82nd minute, when Liam Morris ran into the area where he was beaten by Davies just before getting a shot away.
Four additional minutes were awarded by the fourth official, but Cefni saw these through with professional vigour as Steve Sinclair repeatedly collected aerial attacks from Llanelli.
Full time was confirmed by referee, with a crowd of over 300 congratulating Cefni for their efforts to secure the memorable victory.
Match highlight can be seen on Sgorio, 5:30pm tomorrow night (Minday, 10 December. The last 16 draw can be seen live on Heno, 7pm.
We move onto our next game on Wednesday 12 December, at home against Mynydd Llandygai. 7:30pm kick off.
RESERVES SCORE LATE WINNER AGAINST LLANRWST
3rd December 2018
Leon Buckland’s 89th minute winner secured 3 points for Cefni against Llanrwst Reserves at Treborth on Friday night. Llangefni took the lead half way through the first half when Leon played a through ball to Nathan Hughes who calmly slotted the ball low past the keeper. Llanrwst equalised on the hour with a close range header. Llangefni upped their game and created chance after chance before the winner eventually came late on when Leon Buckland found space on the right and found the bottom far corner with a low drive. It was a good performance by the youngsters who are are adapting well in a very tough and competitive reserve division.
Lock Stock Cookson Cup success
2nd December 2018
After suffering our first defeat of the season on Wednesday night it was key for The Town to bounce back with a victory, and bounce back we did.........just!
The Town came out of the blocks well and took to the pitch but with only 8 minutes on the clock a error in defence allowed Albion to go in front with a neat finish. 4 minutes later the good possession counted as Liam Morris got on the end of a great cross from Cai-Powell Roberts 1-1. Possession seemed to be 50/50 after the equaliser and Steve Sinclair had to come out and make a couple of tackles and later a fumble in the box saw the ball fall kindly into Sinclairs hands. First 45min ended 1-1 and it was all to play for!
Second half and again Llangefni started well and with a long ball and Lloyd through on goal but for the Albion keeper to grab the ball a yard out of his box to stop a clear goal it must have been a red right? Not today only a yellow! But Iwan Jones made sure we had some justice as he converted the resulting free-kick 2-1 The Town. Somehow Chris Saxon received a yellow card for a perfectly timed tackle and then on 62min he lashed out in frustration and received a second yellow resulting in him being sent off The Town down to 10 men for the second time this week. Soon though it was going to be 3-1 as Kevin Lloyd eagle eyed saw the keeper off his line and from the half way line somehow found the back of the net! What a strike and what a goal! ( KEV LLOYD PICTURED CELEBRATING HIS GOAL ) Albion then pressed and 4 minutes later brought the score line down to 3-2 and then deep into what seemed to be an eternity of injury time they found a equaliser making it 3-3.
Extra time saw no goals although Albion thought they scored but for the referee to disagree that the ball had crossed the line so the quarter final would have to be decided on penalties where The Town took it 6-5!
Next up for Llangefni Town is Welsh premier league side Llanelli Town AFC in the JD Welsh Cup next Saturday! #cmonthetown #cpdllangefnifc
