O50s WorkwearSupermarket.com CUP 23/24

12th May – Cup Final
Llanelli Town 6, Penybont 0
An emphatic win for the West Walians against a depleted Penybont at Leckwith Campus. Neil Williams set the tone with an early goal and Simon Rocke made it 2-0 at the break. Although Penybont were defiant, they tired in the sweltering conditions and Rocke arrowed his second to make the game safe for the Reds. Simon Rogers entered the fray and made an immediate impact with his pace and directness and scored two goals in quick succession. Neil Williams completed the scoring with his second minutes before the final whistle. Congratulations to secretary, Neil Bryant and manager, John Taylor who lifted the o50s WorkwearSupermarket.com CUP and in doing so, completed the League and cup double for the 2023/24 season.
