Afan Lido FC match reports

Afan Lido 3-0 Cwmamman Utd
 
We maintained our 100% start to the season in difficult conditions against Cwmamman United. Playing against the elements we made the better start and won an early corner which the visitors cleared. We were opened up on our left side but Gareth Couch made a fine save to keep the scores level. 

We took the lead on the half hour when following a free kick Karl Roberts made ground and shot, the keeper was unable to hold the ball and Adam Beynon followed up and squared the ball for Steve Hughes to knock it in from a couple of yards. In the second half the Cwmamman keeper made a number of fine saves and the ball was cleared off the line a couple of times. 

We eventually scored the second and gave ourselves some breathing space when Carl Payne headed home from a corner on 75 minutes. Straight from the restart Cwmamman hit the crossbar with a free kick, we cleared the ball to Joel Kabia who made a fine run and squared to Steve Hughes but a defender got back to clear the danger.

With 5 minutes to go Ali Walkley cleared off the line, the ball was played forward to Remi Whitelock who made ground and shot from 25 yards to net number 3.
