FAW Amateur Trophy Round 4

Dramatic late Ford winner breaks Vikings’ hearts

Monmouth Town 1 – Hakin United 0

Monmouth Town super-sub Ashley Ford struck an 88^th minute winner to break Hakin United hearts as they bowed out of the FAW Amateur Trophy at Plough Lane.

The Vikings have had a tremendous run in this competition, but sadly for Scott Davies’ brave team it came to an end as they just came up short despite putting on a gallant display.

The Kingfishers play in the Ardal Leagues South East, they were currently unbeaten as they came into this cup tie.

However, the Vikings showed no fear as they created the best of the chances in the first half, Ashley Bevan went close to scoring twice also Justin ‘Skinny’ Harding and Shane Walsh squandered chances.

In the 85^th minute the Vikings had a controversial goal disallowed, Walsh and Laurie Haworth combined to set-up Bevan, the latter lashed the ball into the back of the net from 12 yards, but the linesman raised his flag for a contentious offside decision.

Following the Vikings understandable euphoria, it quickly turned to heartache as the Kingfishers quickly broke at the other end allowing Ford who pounced for a dramatic late winner.

Monmouth Town: T. Wood, L. Davies, L. Cleaves, K. Foryszwski, A. Davies, W. Wheeler, L. Jones, M. Palmer, J. Maksimovic, R. Atkinson, S. Parkes. Subs: C. Hicks, D. Palmer, S. Williams, A. Ford.
Hakin United: G. Fawcett, L. Luby, J. Merry, J. Power, G. Gardner, M. Broome, J. Harding, J. Chapman, A. Bevan, R. Wilson, S. Walsh. Subs: L. Haworth, A. Robertson, S. Davies, L. Broome.
