o65s League kicks-off at the Ocean Park with wins for Penybont and Swansea!

11th September 2024

Pontyclun 1, Barry Town 1
Barry dominated much of this game and took the lead on 12 minutes with a well-taken penalty from Staddon, when Evans was tripped in the box. However, they failed to extend their lead through a combination of their profligacy and stubborn Pontyclun defending, particularly by Thomson and Ryan. Inevitably, an error in the Barry ranks allowed a determined Maclachlan to drill home an equaliser two minutes from time to secure a share of the spoils for his Pontyclun side, which contained several ‘old’ faces making a welcome return to Wales Veterans’ Football.

Swansea 2, Newport 0
In a fairly even game, Swansea claimed 3 valuable points against their opponents with Pasquantonio pulling the strings...despite a tantrum in the first half and captain, Jeff Griffiths slotting two second half goals to win the points.

Penybont 6, Merthyr Tydfil 0
An emphatic win by Penybont against a Merthyr team who started well before succumbing to the greater firepower of their opponents. Veasey, making a welcome return after illness, gave his team the lead, before Peter Morgan, Paul Morgan and Nick Moglia and an unfortunate own-goal by Newton secured the points for the Bridgend side before half-time.
