o55s League 'Round-up!' - 3rd September

3rd September
The big shock of the day saw title holders, The Continental lose 4-1 to Nelson Cavaliers at the Wern...writes Tony Wilding... Cavs were tasked with working for each other to absorb the pressure game that the Continental are known for, but they took the lead following an error from Cavs keeper, although he redeemed himself minutes later with a crucial close-range save. A fine finish from Nelson's evergreen 66 yr old Baldwin made it 1-1 at the interval. Nelson’s half-time substitutions made an immediate impact as Rowlands converted a Baldwin cross, before captain, Wilding, made it 3-1 from the spot. Boulton scored a deserved goal to make the final score 4-1.

Merthyr snatched a late victory against Newport with Price scoring minutes from time. Swansea welcomed Barry Town to Penyrheol, but suffered a 1-5 defeat, courtesy of a Fredriksen hat-trick and goals by Thomas and Rutherford. Jenkins got a late consolation for the hosts. Cardiff Accies suffered a 0-5 defeat at home to Pontyclun with goals by Phillips (2), Mele (2) and Brooks.
Penybont were held 3-3 at home to Llanelli...writes Neil Bryant... A very entertaining first half for the neutral, which saw 5 of the 6 goals scored, including a brace from Stamp for Llanelli and Lodge, Wile and O’Connor on target for the hosts. Water ensured a share of the spoil with a 25yrd strike in the second half, but it’s fair to say both teams will need to defend better should they have aspirations of finishing in the top half of the league.
