Merthyr Leagues 4

Dinas Powys Wolves 3

DINAS Powys Wolves were chosen to represent the Vale of Glamorgan Football league to play against a select team from the Merthyr leagues at Penydarren Park on the weekend.

The players and parents started the day by travelling to the match by coach, leaving Barry in the morning. After some light refreshments at the ground the boys went through their warm-up keen to impress the waiting crowd.

Bayley Harewood opened the scoring early on before the home side drew level. Kyle Booker and Callum Hewitson increased the lead again to 3 - 1 as the visitors looked comfortable.

Half-way through the second period Dinas lost Tylor Williams through injury and the reshuffle allowed Merthyr to get a head of steam up.

Merthyr pressed on deservedly drawing level again.

Into extra-time the match went and a draw would have been a fair result as both teams put on a great display of football showcasing both leagues. But the home side managed to snatch it with the last kick.

Thank you to the Vale league committee for providing the opportunity and supporting the boys on the day.

Thank you to hospitality provided by Merthyr FC, the parents and players had an enjoyable day out.
