Hat-trick hero Jones powers big win

tory at Sully Sports in the J D Welsh Cup.

But with Ynys having triumphed 2-0 away to high-flying Trefelin at Port Talbot Town in midweek, the Windmillers were expecting a tough test.

However, it didn’t work out like that with Karl Lewis’s side moving into the driving seat from the word go.

It took them just 20 minutes to break the ice, and it was ice cool Luke Cox who set things up.

Despite suffering toothache, the club’s fox in the box got his teeth into Ynys via an interception in the centre circle.

Silky skills took out two defenders before laying the ball into the path of ex-Penybont chum Rob Jones, who beat Ynys goalkeeper Dick Powell.

It was 1-0 at the changeover, and they doubled the lead in the 77th minute on the back of star man Sam Snaith.

The Llantwit Major student nicked the ball; rounded goalkeeper Powell and squared it for Jones to pull off a grand finish.

With just two minutes remaining, Jake Roberts planted a flag-kick in the box that Darren Robinson headed towards goal.

But Cox then shocked his team-mates in for once using his head to record as rare a headed goal as snow in summer.

Despite the clock going red, there was still time for the Windmillers to exit Llandarcy Park with another goal.

Cox once more let his head do the work, picking out Gareth Davies, who crossed for Rob Jones to get the match ball.

An eighth league win from 11 starts with two drawn resulted in the Windmillers going sixth ahead of Saturday’s important trip to the capital to take on fifth-placed Bridgend Street.
