Llantwit Major 3 – Haverfordwest County 2

Two late second half goals by Connor Goldsworthy earned Llantwit Major a slender victory at home against Haverfordwest County.

This defeat saw the Bluebirds slipped down to third in the table, Cambrian and Clydach are point ahead in second, and also have a game in hand.

The homesters took the lead early when Josh Jones made no mistake from inside the box.

Ricky Watts left the field suffering from a migraine and was replaced by teenager Gareth Finnegan, who slotted into central midfield and Elliot Scotcher moved to centre back to play alongside skipper Sean Pemberton.
 

Pemberton equalises

Seven minutes before the break and the visitors levelled matters as Pemberton drilled in from 12 yards out as the score was 1-1 at half time.

Shortly after the break the visitors were awarded a penalty after striker Ben Fawcett was hauled down inside the 18-yard area. Scotcher took responsibility and made no mistake from12 yards.
 

Goldsworthy strikes twice

But Llantwit Major refused to give in and were rewarded as Goldsworthy struck in the 68^th and 71^st minutes to secure victory when all looked lost.
