Kilgetty AFC

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.
