Robins and Seasiders on par

Tenby travelled to Milford United with both teams in more than comfortable positions in their return to the top division.

It was very windy at Marble hall and with both teams in good positions in the league and close on points, it was poised to be a tough battle. Both teams had key players missing and opportunities were given to second team players to step up.

Milford elected to play with the wind hoping to press Tenby into their own half, and on the 5th minute hosts midfielder Morgan Picton fired a 30 yard free kick into the Tenby net to make it 1-0 to the Robins.

Both teams carved out half chances and it looked like Milford would go in at the halfway mark 1-0 but Milford’s Wesley Hill had other ideas who robbed the ball from Tenby’s Daniel Storer in the 41st minute and drove towards Tenby’s goal and shot from 20 yards into the top corner giving Milford a 2-0 half time lead.

At the oranges hosts boss Steve Parks knew Tenby are a strong outfit and with the wind the young Robins will have their work cut out to stay in control.

As expected Tenby came out to make use of the wind. Milford’s defence stayed strong until the 62nd minute when a ball dropped to Rhys Morgan who tapped into Milford’s net to make it 2-1 Milford.

Both teams had half chances but Tenby will be disappointed with some of there finishing, squandering some great chances in front of goal. Milford thought the job was done but in the 92nd minute Sam Butler pounced on a ball that shot across Milford’s box and tucked the ball away at the back post.

The game ended 2-2 and on reflection was a fair result for both sides who drew 1-1 earlier in the season. With the season close to ending next week, both managers will be happy with their campaign so far and will look to be stronger next season.
