BLACK AND GREENS HAVE WORK TO DO IF THEY ARE TO PROGRESS

Afan Lido 2-0 Aberystwyth Town
Welsh Premier League Cup - 1st leg

Welsh Premier League Cup - 1st leg
Marston's Stadium 21/01/11
Aberystwyth Town now have a difficult task in front of them if they are to progress through to the second round of the Welsh Premier League Cup as they fell to a 2-0 defeat away at Afan Lido yesterday afternoon.
Captain Sean Thornton was serving his first game of a three match ban, while defender Wyn Thomas was also suspended. Youngster James McCarten was out with an ankle injury, so this meant a re-shuffle in the back as Dave Swanick came into centre half, while Craig Williams deputised as right back.
Alan Morgan swooped to sign local striker Josh Shaw from Penrhycoch this week, as well as bringing in ex Bangor City and The New Saints striker Carl Lamb. Shaw made the starting eleven, while Lamb had to be content with a place on the substitutes bench.
The hosts made full use of a strong wind at their back for the first half, but it was Aber’s Sion James who had the best chance of the early exchanges. The ball fell to James some twenty yards out and his drilled effort was gathered by keeper Chris Curtis. Lido responded with a chance of their own minutes later when Mark Jones fired a teasing cross-cum shot across the area and luckily for the Black and Greens they got away with it. However, they weren’t to get away with it in the eleventh minute as Dave Swanick adjudged to have tripped Mark Jones in the box and referee Richard Harrington pointed to the spot. Andy Hill made no mistake from twelve yards to put his side in front. Leon Jeanne then cut in from the right hand side and crashed a long range effort wide, before Andy Dyer’s men doubled their advantage midway through the second half. Danny Thomas picked up on a loose ball in midfield and sent a long ball forward to Carl Payne who got the better of Aneurin Thomas and squared it into the path of Mark Jones who made no mistake from close range. In a rare attack from the Seasiders, Lido keeper Chris Curtis did well to save Geoff Kellaway’s shot after being played in by Andy Parkinson, while Lewis Codling sent a rash effort wide of the mark.
However, Alan Morgan’s men did improve significantly in the second half, and could have pulled one back straight after the interval. Andy Parkinson was only inches wide of Curtis’ far post with a shot from inside the box. Ex Aber midfielder Anthony Finselbach, now amongst the Lido ranks, fed Carl Payne who was guilty of missing a good opportunity, while Chris Curtis did well to tip away a thunderous Lewis Codling drive. Josh Shaw came off to be replaced by Carl Lamb, and the former Bangor City forward showed some glimpses of quality as the half wore on. The introduction of Krzysztof Nalborksi gave the Seasiders some extra pace on the wings, and the Pole looked lively for the last quarter of an hour. With the home side now trying to keep hold of their two goal cushion, the Black and Greens plugged away and got their reward in the final minute when Alex Ricketts fouled Ricky Evans in the box, but the striker’s penalty was saved by an impressive Curtis.
The second leg of this League Cup tie will take place on Tuesday 31st January at Park Avenue, while the Seasiders’ next game will be on Saturday when they face Llandudno in the 4th round of the Welsh Cup, also at Park Avenue.
