CORNELLY UNITED ..... 8 LLANTWIT FARDRE .... 0

TWO days after joining the Cornelly United management team, Ryan Blanche saw the Meadow Street boys eventually take bottom club Llantwit Fardre to the cleaners, writes Tony Poole.

Ex-Garw boss Blanche, who departed Blandy earlier in the month, has been added to a team comprising Jason Bekker, Mark Dewar and Steve Jones.

Bekker is this week starting an exciting new adventure in scouting for Football League Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, the former Coed-y-Mwstwr golf star will continue to head Cornelly coaching on Thursday evenings at Bridgend super club Penybont.

That formed the background to this clash with the former Welsh League club, who arrived at Meadow Street having lost all seven league games.

But for 34 minutes they looked anything but cellar dwellers with striker Jonny Miller missing two good chances.

However, once the Meadow Street boys hit the front there was only going to be one winner.

A powerful thrust down the right flank by William Thyer led to hot property Carl Owen firing past goalkeeper Rhys Dummett.

That formed a hammer blow for Llantwit Fardre, who gradually lost composure and piece by piece were dismantled.

In time added on, Shaun Duffy played in Dann Jones, who diverted the ball past goalkeeper Dummett for 2-0 at the break.

And three minutes into the second half, Callum Jones (who dropped back to cover the absence of injured Blake Roberts), delivered an inch-perfect cross for Owen to get another goal.

Six minutes later, electric sweeper Matt Davies brushed a ball through to Owen, who centred for Thyer to score with ease.

That made it 4-0 and with Llantwit Fardre now out for a count, the return of Joe Jones from Goytre Utd inflicted further pain.

Jones dug deep into his box of tricks to conjure a magical 66th-minute run that ended in substitute Dale Smith engineering a second Thyer goal of the afternoon.

Eleven minutes later Jones was at it again, as a purposeful run and sharp pass set up a third Owen hat-trick in as many games.

At 6-0 the visitors must have wished referee Andrew Wallen whistled early, but they were pickpocketed again on 87 minutes.

Once more an electrifying Jones run down the right touchline ended in him cutting the ball back for a fourth Owen goal – and a 12th in four games.

And deep into stoppage time teenager Luke Dingle got his first senior goal for the club.
