The First Team put 5 past Hay at Ty Brith on Saturday. Ger Jones, Peter Rees and a Richie Evans hat-trick saw us collect all three points.
We made a bright start to the game and were ahead inside 2 minutes. Andrew Evans played in Richie Evans, he turned the defender inside out before curling home. Richie was denied a further 3 times in the opening 20 minutes by the busy Hay keeper. Jordan Jones had a header cleared off the line from an Ashley Owen corner as we piled on the pressure. Kris Williams made a one on one save to deny the Hay striker in their only opportunity of the game after 30 minutes. Ger Jones doubled the lead just before half time, his shot found its way past the keeper from 12 yards.
We started the second half just like the first. Captain Steve Jones sent Richie Evans through to score his second of the game inside two minutes. Moments later it was 4-0 as Ashley Owen fed Richie Evans, yet again he turned the defender inside out before firing home. Keeper Kris Williams had a very quiet second half as we dominated proceedings. Ashley Owen, Ollie Lewis and Ger Jones were all denied by the keeper as we pushed on for more goals. Peter Rees hit the post before he fired home after being sent through by Richie Evans. Ash Owen was denied again and Peter Rees had a goal ruled out as we finished the game on the front foot.
