Llanelli Reds win - but it's a strain
The strain of playing six games in a 12-day period is beginning to tell on Llanelli Reds who struggled to overcome Welshpool 2-1.
Having established a two goal lead in the first half, a missed penalty by Rhys Griffiths just prior to the break almost proved costly, as the visitors pulled one back and were controversially denied an equaliser when the ball appeared to cross the line before being scooped out by Craig Morris.
The Reds claimed the three points at the close, but will not be satisfied with the overall performance, particularly with another three testing matches to come in the last week of the season.
