YSTALYFERA 0 - 13 VILLAGE

WEST WALES INTERMEDIATE CUP 2nd ROUND
1996/1997

Garden Village, a club with strong designs on the Carmarthenshire League title, were certainly in a good hungry mood as they hammered Neath League side Ystalyfera in the Evening Post West Wales Intermediate Cup second round.

Striker Phil Bell started the rout after 15 minutes from a Matthew Evans cross.

This was followed by quick-fire goals from Nicky Romanello, midfielder Phil Reynolds and two more from Bell to complete his hat-trick.

The Villagers romped to a seven goal lead by half-time through an own goal and a superb individual effort from Reynolds for his second.

Village manager Bob Lloyd decided to give all three substitutes a run out following the interval.

Substitute Mike Neal made his presence felt immediately by increasing the lead with his first touch of the ball, heading home a cross from fellow sub Ross Evans.

The lively Neal proved a real handful up front for the Ystalyfera defence as he netted two more to complete a well taken hat-trick.

There was no respite for the home side as further goals flowed from Adrian Brown (2) and Adrian Guardelli.

VILLAGE: Ward, Devoy, Short, Lyn, Lewis, Reynolds, Guardelli, Romanello, M.Evans, Brown, Bell.

SUBS: R.Evans, Black, Neal.
