BRYNTIRION ATHLETIC 1 LLANELLI 2
The Reds continued their pre-season preparations with a narrow win over Welsh League opponents, Bryntirion, courtesy of goals by Wyn Thomas and Jordan Follows.
They did not have things all their own way and were pushed hard by their opponents, with Craig Richards the busier of the two keepers.
However, Thomas broke the deadlock on 33 minutes, heading home an Antonio Corbisiero corner, while Follows doubled the advantage eleven minutes from time, seizing on a misplaced pass to find the back of the net.
Bryntirion pulled one back on the stroke of ninety minutes with a header from a corner, but with five players missing either through injury or unavailability, this was another useful workout for the Reds.
Following their trip to Tamworth on Saturday, they play their final friendly at Goytre United next Tuesday with a 7 p.m. kick off.
At Stebonheath on Saturday, the under 19 side entertain their counterparts from the Bristol Rovers Academy, kick off 12 p.m. |

The Reds Under 19s drew 1 1 at Welsh League Divison 3 side Caerau last night. The Under 19s coped well against their senior opposition and were more than a match for their opponents. They were unlucky to go a goal behind in the 12th minute when centre back, Ben Williams, was adgudged to have pushed an opponent in the back in the penalty area with the assistant referee making the decison. The equaliser came in the 48th minute when AARON HOULIHAN hit a spectacular shot from 25 yards out into the top corner of the net. The under 19's had more chances to score afterwards but they couldn't quite find the target. |
