Kilgetty AFC

More than 50 years since the last 2nd Division Double, this generation of players wrote their name in the history books, with a 5 - 1 demolition of Saundersfoot, in the 2nd Division Cup final.

The opening exchange was a very nervous affair, with Saundersfoot very much on top.  In fact, if Carl Wainright and Phil Jones had taken their chances early on, it might have been a very different story.  However, on the half hour mark, Kilgetty were awarded a penalty for a handball in the box and Nicky Cope stepped up to calmly slam the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net. 

After this, you could see the Kilgetty players relax, and within ten minutes Nicky had doubled his tally with a brilliant individual goal, slipping past two defenders and beating the keeper at his near post. Kilgetty were 2-0 up at the break and looking comfortable.

Five minutes after the restart, and it was Saundersfoot who got the benefit of a soft penalty award. Dai got his hand to the spot-kick, but it just managed to squeeze into the goal. For a moment, It looked like Saundersfoot would get back into the game, but 20 minutes later, Jack Bevan lost his defender at a corner and drilled in a volley.  The score stood at 3-1, and now Kilgetty had the game by the scruff of the neck.

Saundersfoot’s anguish was made worse, when the keeper, who had looked nervous all night, bundled the ball into his own net and the night was rounded off when Geoff Marsh was first on to a threaded pass to get in behind the back four and cooly slot past the forlorn keeper.

The game finished at 5-1 and the celebrations went on into the night.
