Word Cup – 2nd Round
Port Talbot Town 1 – Haverfordwest County 0
The visitors put on a decent display and had they taken their scoring chances then possibly the result could have been so different.
The Steelmen grabbed the winner as Keyon Reffell scuffed home a shot from inside the box in the 88th minute.
The first half was an even contest, former Bluebird Luke Borelli struck an early shot against the crossbar, Bluebirds goalkeeper Craig Morris denied striker Rhys Griffiths from close range.
Pressing forward
The Bluebirds did not sit back and pressed forward and were unlucky not to open the scoring as Darren Griffiths was denied inside the box after some clever approach play.
Shortly after half time and Sam Wilson flashed a shot across the face of goal, the visitors’ centre back Carl Evans sweetly struck a volley wide.
Penalty save
But as the tie was heading for extra-time up popped Reffell to score the winner, the Steelmen could have added a second, but keeper Morris pulled off a stunning save to deny Rhys Griffiths from the spot.
Haverfordwest County: Craig Morris; Ricky Watts; Spencer Williams; Sean Pemberton; Dale Griffiths; Declan Carroll; Jack Britton; Nicky Palmer; Elliot Thomas; Sam Wilson; Darren Griffiths. Substitutes: Antonio Facciuto; Dan Evans, Jordan Follows; Greg Walters; Liam Fawcett.
