Teenager Collins bags four goals for deadly Nomads

 

Neyland 8 – Monkton Swifts 3

 
Sixteen-year-old four goal star Tyler Sutton helped Neyland to their biggest margin of victory this season against shell shocked Monkton Swifts at the Athletic Ground.
 
The Swifts came to Neyland quietly confident they would come away with something, but the Nomads had other ideas as they quite literally ripped the visitors apart with some excellent clinical finishing.
 
Early on Swifts’ goalkeeper Taylor Gullam pulled off an outstanding save to deny a powerful Aidan Rees six-yard volley.
 
At the other end Dylan Davies dribbled past Patrick Hannon, but a last ditch tackle by defender Tyler Sutton prevented the visitors taking the lead.
 
In the 14^th minute the Nomads opened the scoring when Collins’ stinging volley from a Leon Barrett cross beat keeper Gullam at his near post.
 
Minutes later keeper Hannon tipped a powerful Thomas Power header over the crossbar.
 
On 20 minutes the hosts doubled the lead as Corey Richards headed home a delightful Aidan Rees corner.
 
In the 28^th minute the Swifts pulled one back as Blake James’ cross allowed Declan Carroll to finish from six yards.
 
In the 33^rd minute the Nomads grabbed a third, Jack John’s long ball fell to deadly Collins who beat Gullam with another superb finish.
 
After the break Max Bowman-Davies set-up teenager Collins who made no mistake to grab his hat-trick.
 
The Nomads continued to press forward; they were rewarded as Jack John scored a stunning 30-yard volley.
 
Collins slotted in the sixth, Swifts substitute Connor Hay got his side’s second, Morgan James coolly slotted in the seventh, Hay got his side’s third, deep in stoppage time Aidan Rees broke clear to slot home the eighth.
