Cefni keep on winning:
LANGEFNI Town carried their dynamic league form into the FAW Trophy as they saw off Gaerwen 3-0 at Lon Talwrn last Saturday.
Cefni manager Chris Roberts made seven changes to the side that beat Greenfield the previous weekend in Welsh Alliance Division One, Liam Ewing, Andy Sinclair, Steve Kehoe, Liam Morris, Paul Rowlands, Iwan Jones and Marvin Pritchard all starting.
In an evenly contested first half, Matthew Jones almost opened the scoring on 30 minutes, his looping shot from 20 yards rebounding off the crossbar.
Dan Thomas eventually gave Cefni the lead on the stroke of half time, tow- ering above Gaerwen’s defence to head home.
Former Gaerwen striker Morris doubled Cefni’s lead on 55 minutes, beating his man to finish well from 12 yards.
With just 10 minutes remaining, substitute Owen sealed the win against the Division Two underdogs with a tap in at the far post following good work from Marvin Pritchard.
Llangefni boss Roberts said after the game: “We always knew that Gaerwen would up their game coming to Lon Talwrn and that was the case.
“We found it hard to get going in the opening 45 minutes and were wasteful in possession.
“A few harsh words were said to the players at half time and I felt that we came out in the second half much better, moving the ball well and with a quick tempo to our play.
“We made seven changes to the team that started in the league last weekend and it was good to give a few players coming back from injury etc some minutes.
“All in all, a poor performance but another win to keep our unbeaten run going and we progress into the next round.”
