South Wales Senior League Division One

Sully Sports 7 Cwmaman Institute 0

THE pitch at Swanbridge was in good condition but with heavy rain forecast the well attended spectators were cosy in the VODOG shed stand.

Sully Sports played towards the Swanbridge end and started well with Taylor Harding outstanding in the early exchanges.

The visitors also looked dangerous with some tricky play that did not test new goalkeeper sighting Anthony Hopkins.

Long and Lawlor once again led the goal threat but despite making loads of chances the score remained level until just before the break when a Sully shot was handled and Alex Long put Sports one up from the spot.

The Cwmaman ‘keeper made some very good saves as Sports attempted to increase their lead and a Hopkins full length dive denied a Cwmaman snap shot.

The second half started with Sully all out to attack with Taylor and Hanlon to the fore. The pairing of Hemmens and Jones worked well without the visitors causing too many problems.

Alex Long put Sully two in front by sliding in to beat the ‘keeper. Then Dan Lawlor and Long combined for Lawlor to finish.

Conner McInery was moving the ball well and he finished a flowing move to score. Sports were now well on top and the game’s best goal saw Luke Hanlon’s centre put away cleverly by Long at the far post.

Cwmaman were now defending deep and Lawlor hit number six with the excellent Long bagging his fourth goal.

All the Sully subs were used as Cwmaman tired and a fine performance by Sully was appreciated by the large support for the team.

This Saturday, Sully entertain Fochriw RFC at Swanbridge as Sully look for more league points as they try to hold the place at the top of the division, kickoff is at 2pm.

Team: Hopkins A, Hopkins M, Harding, Jones, Hemmens, Lewis, Hanlon, McInery, Rees, Long, and Lawlor.

Subs: Townsend, Storer and Brown R.
