Treforest-v-Ynyshir Albion - Sat. 3rd Nov.07

Treforest hosted Ynyshir Albion for the second round of the South Wales Senior Cup on a good playing surface at the White Tips Stadium.

The game started at a frantic pace with both sides going all out for a win. Chances were being created by both sides and defences were stretched to their limits. After squandering three good opportunities in the first fifteen minutes, Treforest finally made the breakthrough in the 24th minute when Lian Davies scored following a 30yard free kick from Gary Bridson which the Ynyshir goalkeeper fumbled. Four minutes later, after excellent work by Jordan Smith, Davies poached his second of the day. On 35 minutes young Davies completed his second hat-trick in successive weeks, putting Treforest in a commanding lead.

However, the second half found Ynyshir in fighting spirit, and Treforest were placed under a lot of pressure, which they contained with reasonable ease.

On 80 minutes Dean Jones played a terrific ball through to Jordan Smith who put the ball away with aplomb to give Treforest an unassailable lead. Immediately following the re- start back came Ynyshir showing they would fight to the end, and Carl Pugh scored with an excellent long shot for a consolation goal.

With the game drawing to a close, a superb strike from 25 yards by Treforest's Neil Evans made the final score 5-1 to the home side. A terrific game played in good spirit by both teams.
