Kilgetty AFC

Let’s hope we get drawn against Treboeth in the West Wales Cup (If we get through the 1st round that is).  I want to meet the famous Charlie Bergoni!

Kilgetty’s form continued to impress as they punished last season’s division one champions 4 - 1 at the Kingsmoor Ground.

Kilgetty’s midfield dominated in a game where they intially went a goal down. The boys perseverance paid off when Geoff Marsh got in behind the back four to level the game, but the ex-Carew keeper will know he should have done better.

The turning point came early in the second half when a Merlins Bridge goal was disallowed, the ball having already gone out of play before it was pulled back for the striker.  Unable to deal with this decision, Merlins Bridge began to lose their discipline, and Kilgetty capitalised. Pressing hard, they forced a crucial error from the center-half as he turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Nicky Cope.

From then on it was one way traffic.  Grant James provided the highlight of the game with a wonderful lob of the keeper, and Paul Hodge came off the bench to drill home a goal from the right flank, that completed the misery for the Bridge.

It could have been a very different result, if Merlins Bridge had taken their chances, but make no mistake, this was a very significant victory.

First match of the season, first big win of the season.

Whilst Copey wont be happy with conceeding two goals, he’s got to be somewhat pleased with winning so convincingly against a good Haverfordwest team that contained the likes of Bobby Briers and Adi Smith.

Michael Scale rolled back the years to bag a brace, whilst Duane Rossiter and Josh Bevan also found the back of the net.

A pleasantly suprising start to what many consider will be a very tough season.
