Newtown 4 Carmarthen 2
Sorry, a bit late uploading this match report from the previous weekend -
Newtown 4 Carmarthen Town 2
Carmarthen Town went down to another defeat which meant that they now occupy bottom place in the Welsh Premier League.
The EH Factors and Clothing sponsored Town team started the game confidently and were soon asking questions of the Home defence. Nick Harrhy, who had an effective game, was causing problems down the left hand side and several inviting crosses entered the Newtown box. Therefore it was rather against the run of play that the home side scored.
An innocuous clash on the edge of the Old Gold box resulted in a free kick for home side. Jamie Price took control of the kick and shot splendidly in to the back of the net giving Michael Lewis no chance.
The visitors continued to pour forward with Geraint Passmore, Nicky Palmer and Kieran Howard winning the majority of the ball in midfield. Both Tim Hicks and Jack Christopher had half chances but were either blocked by the defence or slightly off target.
The situation for Town was exacerbated in the 35th minute when the home side went two up with Steve Blenkinsop finally adding the finish to a fine movement. Town were then indebted to Lewis for a superb save just before the break to keep their hopes afloat.
The second half began with Town again pressing forward and their enterprise was rewarded by a goal in the 56th minute. Steve Berry was adjudged to have been brought down in the box and Hicks duly scored from the resulting penalty.
This comeback was immediately dented by Newtown who were allowed to pour forward from the restart. Nick Rushton benefitted from some lax defending to restore the home side’s two goal cushion.
With Cledan Davies also pushing up on the left hand side the Old Gold continued to attack and reduced the lead once again. A corner from the left was flicked on and converted on the far post by Passmore.
Unfortunately the team had not learnt their lesson and allowed Newtown again to restore their two goal lead immediately from the kick off. This time it was Blenkinsop who benefitted from the goodwill of the visitors.
Town were down on their luck. Christopher hit the junction of post and bar again from a corner while Nick Thomas, in the home goal was under constant pressure.
With Corey Thomas replacing Lewis Jones and Steffan Williams replacing Passmore visiting manager Tomi Morgan threw caution to the wind but unfortunately his team ran out of time to gain anything from the game.
Two further incidents made this a dismal day for the faithful Town supporters. Berry suffered a nasty injury near the end of the game as he dislocate his shoulder while Howard was given his second yellow card of the game and dismissed from the field.
Carmarthen Town: Lewis; Jones (Thomas), Berry (Dalling), Bevan, Davies; Passmore (Williams), Palmer, Howard; Hicks, Harrhy, Christopher.
