Saints stroll on as 8-goal rout sends out warning

IT is probably far too early to make predictions in relation to the Costcutter League division one title destination.

But after unbeaten leaders St Dogmaels brushed aside bottom side Bargod Rangers 8-0, there are those who believe the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

The rampant Teifi Estuary villagers were without five regulars, including central defender and skipper Jason Williams.

But they turned in another classy performance to outclass the visitors.

It was all over bar the shouting before the interval with Saints playing attractive onetouch football and racing into a 5-0 lead.

Louis Harding, Chris Morgan and Jack Thomas bagged a brace of goals apiece as the home side banked maximum points for the eighth time on the bounce.

The other goals were netted by Peter Almond and Reece Prowse.

The pacesetters are at home again this Saturday when Felinfach, who defeated Dewi Stars of division two 7-0 in round one of Cwpan Coffa Dai Dynamo Davies, provide the opposition in a second-round tie.

Also in Cwpan Dai, in-form Llandysul overcame the absence of a number of regulars as the Swallows claimed a 2-1 victory over visiting Newcastle Emlyn in what was an enthralling contest.

Midfielder Lewis Jones put the Llandysul Park high-flyers ahead with a delightful 25-yard chip.

And that’s how it remained until midway through the second half when Jessie Clayton left three would-be tacklers in his wake before calmly slotting home.

David Jones beat Nathan Jones from distance to halve the deficit, but Llandysul held out to progress.

Llanboidy reached round two of the Easter Monday League Cup after a 3-1 win over Cardigan Town at King George V Playing Field, where an own goal and strikes by Ellis Williams and Ross McDonald sent the West Carmarthenshire men through.

In the same competition, Felinfach enjoyed a thumping 7-0 triumph over visiting Dewi Stars.

Ace marksman Kieran Boyce led the way for the Milkmen with four goals.

Elsewhere, there were victories for Aberaeron Reserves at Aberporth, Crannog at Lampeter and Ffostrasol against New Quay.
