Ton & Gelli-v-Treforest : Sat.15th Dec.2007

Ton & Gelli 2 Treforest 4

Treforest travelled up the valley to take on Ton & Gelli after 3 weeks of inactivity due to poor weather. Tref. quickly showed they were eager to continue their spell of good results, and were very sharp out of the blocks. Starting brightly they played some good 1 and 2 touch football, but Ton came closest in the early stages bringing out the best of goalie Lewys Smith.

Tref. however, were not to be denied, and were soon ahead through a Deon Dewberry own goal after good Tref. pressure down the right hand side of the park. This sparked Ton. into action again and on 27 minutes they equalized with a controversial goal after Smith in the Tref. goal had gone down following a challenge which the referee deemed fair, leaving the Ton striker with a simple tap in.

Despite feeling aggrieved and a little unsettled,Tref. continued to boss the game, but with Ton quick to counter attack chances were falling to both sides. Just a minute before half time Treforest's left winger Darren Belmont restored their lead rolling the ball under the home keeper. Again Ton were quick to respond and 1 minute later a defensive lapse allowed them to get on level terms at the break.

The second half saw Tref. control the tempo of the game but with very little end product. however, after a thunderous tackle by "Rocky" Williams on 77 minutes the ball fell to Gary Bridson who played in the "old dog" Stacey Fulker who swivelled his snake hips and volleyed into the net from fully 30 yards.With time running out Tref's young striker Lian Davies who had been a constant thorn in Ton's side, got his just reward when he scored his side's 4th goal after good work by the impressive Dean Jones in mid-field.

An excellent away win for Treforest who are now 4th in the table.
