Island Marine Blues 1 - Dinas Wolves 6

THIS was a football game played in terrible conditions on a pitch that was cutting up from the first whistle.

Referee Nic Silver did a great job controlling the match and both sets of player put on a good show.

Island Marine Blues FC started brightly forcing a number of free kicks on their right but the visitors defence was solid.

Dylan Morris pulled off his only save in the opening five minutes tipping a snap shot around the post with his feet.

Bayley Harewood then opened the scoring smashing home from 20 yards with a powerful strike that the 'keeper had no chance with.

Rian Thomas was having an inspired game on the right as his pace was proving too much and was unlucky not to add a few.

Kyle Booker did all the hard work but after beating two struck the post. Joe Doughty and Callum Hewitson were linking up well and forced the home side into some desperate last ditch defending.

At 1 - 0 the game was still tight but any fears of losing the lead were put to bed early on as Rian Thomas and Bayley Hareward put the Dinas 'Villagers' into a 3 - 0 lead.

Kyle Booker than turned finisher as he grabbed a hat-trick within eight minutes.

Jake Lewis, Jake Frost, Jacob Perria, Jacob Moss and Kian Quest proved too strong for the home side with a no nonsense approach to the art of defending.

Zac Fifield has taken to his role in the midfield so well over the past two years and on Saturday he showed his strength in defending his own box and a goal scoring threat in the opposition's box.

Man-of-the-match went to Jake Lewis as he galvanised his team from the back.
