Llanrhystud 1 vs 3 St. Dogmaels (Cup Game)

Saint Dogmaels stormed into to the latter stages of the Emrys Morgan Cup with a deserved 3-1 win against Llanrhystud.
St. Dogmaels previous winners of this trophy were reduced to 10 men in the second half when Jimmy James was sent of by referee Paul Jones for allegedly head-butting an opponent.
St. Dogmaels John Walters was full of praise for his former side. He said: "We played very well in the second half when we pushed Chris Jones further up the field and played less defensively".

"We had been giving the home team too much respect by playing deep and they were allowed time on the ball. However things changed after this and we got better as the game went on".
"We were lucky at times though, as Llanrhystud missed a sitter in the first half and our first goal came against the run of play".
"But credit to our team as we had a 17-year-olds playing in the side including Jimmy James. His sending off was needless and the referee had no choice in the matter".

The first half of this tie was uneventful with few scoring opportunities, the home side enjoyed territorial advantage and missed a chance to take the lead with a header from close range.

The second half opened up with the visitors enjoying some great moments.
The Saints played much better football and in the 60th minute Chris Jones scored after good work from his teammate Darren Baker.
The Saints Jimmy James was shown a red card by referee Jones, which led to a minor set back for the Saints.
Former Cardigan RFC flier Mike Grota scored the second goal for the Saints, but ten minutes later Llanrhystud crawled back a goal.
The game was killed of by a home goal from Robbie Jones while under pressure from the visitors.

Both Jones and Anthony Tedaldi worked hard for Llanrhystud and the whole of the team will be dissappointed not to go further in this cup
