Llanrhystud 2 vs 3 Talybont

Two late Talybont goals stunned the home side, as they again fail to take the chances that came their way. Llanrhystud took the lead in under a minute of the first half, after good work down the right by Andy Humphreys; Craig Davies volleyed the home side ahead. Shortly after, a mix up in llanrhsytud defence allowed A. Richards to race through and equalise. Llanrhystud set up camp in Talybont's half and were guilty of squandering good chances. Player/manager Darren Davies put Llanrhsytud back ahead, tapping the ball home after the visiting keeper failed to hold on to a weak shot. The home side seemed in control, with the visiting team forced to play the long ball, but late on, Llanrhystud's defence again split apart when a C. Richards corner was allowed to curl straight in, through many bodies. This undoubtedly gave the away side the impetus to throw more men forward, and when A. Richards was again allowed a free run on goal, the game was all but over for the home side. Llanrhystud had no one to blame but themselves as the game should have been out of Talybonts reach after the first half, but the goal scoring touch has for now deserted them. Talybont's spirit and hunger proved the winner on the day, and allowed them progression into the next round.
