Manderwood Pembrokeshire Football League – Division 1

 

Aldred’s late winner cruelly denies battling Clarby

 

Hakin United 3 – Clarbeston Road 2

 
Ben Aldred scored a stoppage time winner to secure champions Hakin United a hard-fought victory against luckless Clarbeston Road at the Obs.

Late in the game Scott Davies’ Viking narrowly trailed 2-1, but a late brace from Aldred saved the day.
In the tenth minute The Vikings opened the scoring as Shane Walsh got on the end of Camron Thomas’ cross.

Full credit to Matthew Ellis’ Road outfit they continued to press and put the hosts under pressure, they were rewarded when Ben John profited from Ellis’ intelligent ball to square matters.

In the 27^th minute John was on target with the visitors’ second to give his side a slender 2-1 cushion at half time.

On the hour mark Matthew Davies missed a crucial penalty, had he scored it would have put his side 3-1 ahead, that miss would come back to haunt The Road.

Late in the game with The Vikings pushing everything at the visitors saw Aldred get on the end of Thomas’ cross to level matters.

With virtually the last touch in the game The Vikings pinched victory as star man Aldred got on the end of Leon Luby’s cross to score, but more importantly nick the points.
