Cup Defeat

The Saints bowed out of the Radnorshire Cup in the first round after a depleted team lost 1-3 to an impressive Brecon Northcote FC.

A dominant opening 45 minutes saw the visitors go in at the break 0-2 up and in all honesty it could of been more. The first goal came after a mistake, Northcote broke and scored. Joel Evans headed the second direct from a corner.

The impressive Rhodri Boosey made it 0-3 after 50 minutes as the visitors continued where they left off in the first half.

We pulled a goal back on 68 minutes after a Tom Langdon shot was turned into his own net by a Northcote defender. We were the better side the last 20 but in all honesty the visitors had made several substitutions including replacing Boosey and Keddle who had played very well.

Team news: The first team will be without Chris Preece, Steve Jones, Harry Ratcliffe (all injured) and also Jamie Howard and Jordan Bailey who are suspended. In come Kevin Jones, James Smith, Tom Bevan, Tom Pavey, Wilf Ratcliffe and Darren Horrigan.

Jenks had this to say ”We are struggling with injuries and suspensions at the moment which is not ideal but this game will give other players the chance to come into the squad and fight for a first team place”. He went on to say ”We had a tough game against Northcote two weeks ago coming out with a 3-1 win and we expect it to be as tough tonight. Hopefully we can put in a big team performance and progress to the next round”.

Bad Day at The Office.

The first team lost 3-0 at Llansantffraid Village FC yesterday in a league fixture. To make matters worse they ended the game with 9 men after two quick red cards in the second half.

I didn’t watch the game but the day started bad with players dropping out, I was also told by one of the management team it was by far our worst performance.

I will try and find out a few more details and post them on here.

Manager Steps Down.

Mid Wales South winners.

Saints Reserve team manager ‘Tiny Harding’ has stepped down from his role with immediate effect.

‘Tiny’ resigned on Monday morning stating “I need a break after managing the Juniors and the seniors for the past ten years”

Tiny along with Joe Emmett led the reserves to The Mid Wales South title last year, he also won the Alfred Sparey cup in 2016 and again in 2017. The side also reached the league cup final last season but fell short against a good Rhayader Reserve side.

The club would like to thank Tiny for his hard work throughout the last ten years on and off the pitch. Hopefully after a break he will be back at the helm in no time.

Bad Day at The Office

The Saints Reserves suffered their heaviest defeat in a long time going down 0-7 to a Dave Thomas inspired Builth Wells Reserves. Thomas helped himself to a five goal haul which is no mean feat at any standard.

I wasn’t at the game but was told at half time it was 0-2 and we were in the game but the visitors upped the tempo in the second half and went on to score five more. George Wood and Josh Price were the other Builth scorers.

FT 0-5.
