Latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column
A last minute winner by Carmarthen Town full back Gavin Rees gave his team a 3-2 victory over Afan Lido in the second round of the Football Association of Wales Youth Cup last Sunday.
The match at Richmond Park was a full bloodied affair with the Old Gold having Ross Jones red-carded on the hour mark for a foul and also picking up six other yellow cards.
Carmarthen took the lead after 18 minutes when a spectacular 30-yard free-kick from Iestyn Evans found the bottom of the visitor's net. Afan Lido equalised with a similar effort 15 minutes later and then took the lead early in the second period.
Manager Peter Fearn changed his team's formation 10 minutes from time, the move paying off when Callum Jackson equalised also immediately. The Youth side then piled on the pressure and the winner, when it came, was well deserved.
