o40s (PREMIER) Workwear Supermarket.com League

8th December
Barry Town 2, Briton Ferry Llansawel 2
With the remnants of Storm Darragh still having an impact on conditions, the hosts entertained Briton Ferry Llansawel in unfamiliar surroundings at the University Fields, Llanrumney at a later than usual time of 4pm....writes Barry Town manager, James Bagnall...

Despite the lack of home comforts, Barry started brightly, and playing with the wind struck first after an in-swinging corner from Lyndsey caused confusion in the box and Baker calmly converted in the subsequent goalmouth scramble. They were unfortunate not to extend their lead as a number of promising attacks failed to come to fruition. Indeed, it was the opponents who drew the game level against the run of play, when a penalty was converted by Parry. This gave the visitors confidence and after a mix up in the Barry midfield, they broke down the right, and a hopeful ball into the box was converted by Morgan after some decent footwork. However, the lead lasted barely 10 minutes as a fantastic 25-yard strike by Lindsey left the keeper stranded to draw Barry level. Half time was called after floodlight failure saw one half of the pitch plunged into darkness with just 40 minutes on the clock.

When the light came back, the second half saw no goals but it wasn’t for lack of effort on both sides, with Wadsworth making some crucial saves in the Barry nets, and Noor and Baker were a constant threat on the ‘Ferry’ defence. All in all, honours even, but Barry will be left rueing what might have been and although ‘Ferry’ missed an opportunity to move close to League leaders, a share of the spoils still keeps their hopes alive.

24th November
Cardiff Corinthians 1, Llanelli Town1
The only 'Premier' League match of the day ended all-square at the University Fields...writes Llanelli manager, Alun Williams... The visitors started very brightly and could have gone 2 nil up before the hosts grew into the game, playing some flowing football to the front 3 - who were a big threat and they duly took the lead minutes befotre the interval, Crock gratefully converting a penalty to take his side 1-0 up going into the interval. In the second half the visitors were, again, quick out the blocks and they scored an equaliser from a great Bartley free kick. The Reds tails were up but they failed to convert their chances and the Corries themselves could have won the game but for an unbelievable save from keeper, Curtis, and in the end a point was a fair result and Llanelli are still clear at the top of the table.

10th November
Briton Ferry Llansawel 2, Cardiff Corinthians 1
A great game between two battling teams ended with the hosts just coming out on top...writes Steve Davies....Harding scored for the hosts and Gardner equalised but Clement got the all-important winner in a game that could have gone either way with tremendous last ditch defending and both keepers, Hulland (Ferry) and Davies (Corries) making great saves.

Llanelli Town 2, Ponthir 1
The hosts maintained their position at the top of the o40s (PREMIER) Workwear Supermarket.com League with a fine home win...writes Alun Williams...In a great game of football between two good sides, Llanelli had the better of the first half, keeping the ball well, and forcing Ponthir keeper, Poyner, into action and rattling the cross-bar through a great Bartley free kick. They would not be denied and took the lead on the stroke of half time when Brown headed home a fine Harries cross. Ponthir equalised just after the start of the second half with a great finish by Dunn. Brown scored his second to put Llanelli back in front and although the visitors pushed for parity the hosts held on for priceless win.

Barry Town 1, Llanelli Town 1
The spoils were shared despite a dominating performance by the visitors.....writes Neil Bryant. The game was still poised at 0-0 on the hour mark, but Llanelli took the lead with a great goal by Sam Brown after some lovely interplay. A combination of profligacy and a sparkling display by home keeper, Wadsworth, kept the scores at 0-1, until a free kick by the hosts found Cotterill in space and he finished with aplomb. A great save late-on by Llanelli stopper, Curtis, kept the final score 1-1.
