Decent weekend for Carmarthen and Llanelli soccer
The Llanelli Reds beat Prestatyn Town 4-1 at Stebonheath this afternoon, with goals from Antonio Corbisiero, Rhys Griffiths (2, 1 pen) and Chris Venables. This win takes the Reds back to the top of the Welsh Premier League. The Reds Under-19s won 4-0 at Briton Ferry while the Under-18s lost 2-1 at Afan Lido.
Meanwhile, Carmarthen Town got back to winning ways with Tim Hicks' 13th minute header the only goal of the game at Elements Cefn Druids.
Manager Deryn Brace told Y Dre ar Y We, “We got there in the end. We should have made the game safe in the first half, but we’ve said that a few times this season. The good thing was that we didn’t rue the chances we missed by keeping a clean sheet.
“The football and the tempo we played at first half, on a difficult pitch, was good. We really took the game away from the Druids and didn’t allow them anything at all. The only thing that was lacking was that finishing touch.
“It was pleasing that we created a good number of chances but we need to start finishing them off. The other side of it is, and we’ve always said this to the boys, if we can keep a clean sheet then we’ll probably win the game.
“First half we weren’t really troubled. Second half Neil Thomas has made a couple of decent stops and Druids did throw a little bit more impetus into their play.
“I thought the back four stayed strong and without being over commanding we did what we had to do and saw it through As the game wore on I felt that if another goal was going to come it was going to come our way."
