Depleted
side lose to YMCA |
|
Yet
another Lido team today affected by the clubs long
injury list, the reserves lost 1-0 at Maesteg, losing
some players who had to move up to the first team
squad, though they still reamain top of the table, it
looks only a matter of time before they are knocked of
that place by by both Neath and Goytre Utd.
Neath
are Goytre are only 4 points adrift but with a huge 6
games in hand, Goytre Utd are also just 4 point below
with 5 games in hand, but teams below those 2 are well
behind on points.

Lido
lost at home to Newport YM today at the Marston's,
and drop a place in the table as Barry Town's 2-1 win
at Briton Ferry put them a point ahead.
The
first team needed to call on reserve team players in
order to field a complete squad, due to a long injury
list.

3rds
game called off |
|
Lido's
3rd team game was called off today due a player drain,
caused by the first team having to draft in reserve
team players, and the reserves calling on Gary
Griffiths and Kieran Piper to their squad.
Michael
Holmes was pleased with both players performances that
he has said they can remain with the reserve team
squad, well done to both players on their move up, but
bad luck to the 3rds who will be losing their services.

Read
the match reports on the Cwmbran win |
|
Our
under 21 team travelled to Cwmbran in a top of the
table clash, and a Liam McCreesh goal separated the
sides and now puts Lido in pole position at the top of
the table, lying just one off leaders Cwmbran but with
a game in hand.
Below
are two match reports sent in by the club, I have
added both as I think is interesting to get two views
of the same match from the same club, triffik to be
getting such a great response from the club, my thanks
to both Phil Holmes and Alan Howells for tonight's
reports and to all who have supported the clubs
website so far.
Tony.

clear of 2nd placed Neath, but Neath have 6 games in
hand. 3rd placed Goytre Utd are also 7 points behind

the league.

Under
16's win cup game |
Our
under 16 side took part in the BGCW cup game last
night against Morriston and they won by 2-1, Casey Thomas scores a late winner for under 16's in a very close and
exciting game.
Morriston scored in the first 2 minutes of the game. A lead they held until Remi Whitlock
equalised midway through the second half. This set a nail biting
finish and with the game looking as if it was heading for extra
time, Casey Thomas chased a through ball and calmly slotted past the
Morriston goalkeeper.

A BAD
WEEKEND FOR THE LIDO TEAMS |
|
The
first 4 teams of the club all suffered defeats over
the weekend.
our first's were beaten by the inconsistent Llwydcoed
2-1, Christopher Vardon and Matthew Phillips scoring
for the Llwydcoed
while Ian Jones was on target for Lido his league
tally now up to 9. While 3 of the 4 teams above us in
the league all won increasing the points gap to an almost
impossible target to achieve a top 2 position.
The Reserves were away to Cwmamman and lost their game
2-0
The 3rd team were in cup action and were level after
90 mins, but lost 5-3 after extra time.
Today our under 19 side travelled west to play
Haverfordwest in the 3rd round of the MacWhirter youth
cup, they struggled to put a team together and they
ended up on a 9-2 hammering.
The much awaited clash of the Afan Lido Blues v Afan
Lido reds was called off.
I have no info as yet on our other under age sides,
but will post them when received.

Who
to shout for? |
|
I
face something of a dilemma tonight as to who to shout
for, as the U19's take on west Wales Haverfordwest
U19's at home. And as some are aware I also run the
official Haverfordwest county website. The game kicks
off at 7:pm. So the safest thing to do and not to
offend either side, on this website I will shout for
Lido and on the H'west site I will shout for them, but
a draw is of no use for either side as both teams are
on 13 points, and 8 points of leaders West End. So
c'mon the Lido.
