The goals fly in on entertaini­ng weekend in Premier League

-

FIVE highly entertaini­ng games took place in the West Wales Premier League last weekend with a record 30 goals being scored.

At the 13th attempt, Llanelli side CK Swiss Valley finally registered their first league win of the season when they sent mid-table Giants Grave packing 4-2, just their third loss in their last nine league games.

Ben Grant, now with five league goals, gave Swiss Valley an early lead after a defensive error. Then on 26 minutes they doubled their lead through Dan Lemon when he timed his run into the penalty area to perfection to reach a cross from youth team player Morgan Edwards.

It was soon 3-0 to CKSV when Ross Buckley-turner netted from the spot.

Ben Wayman grabbed two quick goals for Grave before half-time and home keeper Liam Davey kept the visitors at bay.

And on 78 minutes the ball was pulled back to Lemon, who slotted home the decisive fourth.

CKSV: L Davey, T Morgans, K Davies (capt), D Thomas, R Buckleytur­ner, T Caul, D Lemon, O Hopping, R Akhtar, B Grant, M Edwards. Subs: G Lavender, P Harry, C Phillips.

Back in September league leaders Penlan Club thrashed a then depleted Pontarddul­ais Town 10-1 at Mynydd Newydd, and they met again at Coedbach Park last Saturday.

Penlan looked to be heading for a shock defeat as they trailed an inspired Bont 1-0 at half-time after a goal by early substitute Ethan Stocks, a replacemen­t for Bont’s injured top scorer Cameron Davies.

The second half was a different story, however. Penlan equalised on the hour through Nathan Lewis, his 10th of the season, and went on to take the three points with a late goal from winger Luke Dalling, his first in the league, when he capitalise­d on a defensive error.

Cwm Wanderers took on secondplac­ed Evans & Williams and, despite an encouragin­g opening, were well beaten 4-0, not helped by some individual errors.

Mathew Williams got the Albies’ first after a mistake from the Cwm keeper and Williams then set up Chad Tinnuche to make it 2-0 at halftime.

Tom Lavender ended Cwm’s hopes with a 25-yarder, while Mark Howells got Albies’ fourth and his 12th of the season, a tap-in with 20 minutes left.

A miserable day for Cwm was complete when Ben Jones was shown a late red card.
