Penybont and Swansea through to Cup Final!

28th April
O70s League champions, Penybont, progressed to the o70s Cup final courtesy of a hard-fought 1-0 win over a depleted Barry Town. Penybont started the stronger but it was Barry who created a great early chance, Arnold denied by Penybont keeper, Davies, when through on goal. Penybont continued to create the better opportunities but it remained goal-less at the interval.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Penybont dominating possession, but Barry providing a stubborn rear-guard, with Miles, converted to centre-half minutes before kick-off, due to late withdrawals, outstanding. When the breakthrough eventually came, it was slightly fortuitous, Morgan scoring directly from a wind-assisted corner. Barry tried to get back on level terms but the Penybont defence, well marshalled by Roberts and keeper, Davies were consummate and their side advanced to the final. They will face Swansea who defeated a much-fancied Newport side on penalties. Challingsworth put the East Walians ahead and they led at half-time. A rallying half-time team-talk by keeper/manager, Meacham obviously had the desired affect when Laffan equalised with 20 minutes remaining. Both teams pressed for the winner but the game ended all-square. Swansea edged the resultant penalty shoot-out and now look-forward to the final on 18th May.
