Mid Wales League (South)
Llandrindod Reserves 0-5 Brecon Corries (Saturday 21st September 2019)

The Corries kept up their bid for promotion with a well fought win over a very strong and physical Llandrindod Reserves team. In their toughest league game so far this season, the Corries were subjected to some tough defending from the home team, but having spent previous years in Tier 5 of the South Wales FA set-up the Corries were well equipped to deal with it.

Playing up the slope in the 1st half, the Corries dominated possession, rarely losing the ball in their own half, but breaking the deadlock was proving difficult for the league leaders. A combination of stout defence, resolute goalkeeping and a lack of sharpness up front kept the scores 0-0 but the impressive Jordan Baker settled the nerves and opened the scoring on 22 minutes. The Corries continued to pressure the home side, so much so there must have been over a dozen corners in the 1st half alone. Just minutes before halftime, Craig Evans scored to make it 0-2 at the break.

The 2nd half proved slightly more comfortable for the Corries, and with the slope with them they made it 0-3 when Joel Evans found the net just minutes after the restart - incredibly, his 30th goal of the season. With such great service from the likes of Luke Roughley, Gav Perry and the energetic Paul Keddle, Joel Evans secured another 2 goals and yet another hat-trick to secure the game at 0-5.

The win opens up an 8 point lead over Llanidloes Reserves at the top of the table, with Brecon Northcote a close 3rd.
