Big Win Takes Aber Back to Play Off Conference Summit

9/4/2016

 
Dafabet Welsh Premier League
Friday 8th April
Aberystwyth Town 3 Haverfordwest County 1

Aber Town returned to the summit of the Dafabet WPL Play Off Conference this evening with a very important 3-1 home win over already relegated Haverfordwest County. Man of the Match Craig Williams opened the scoring for Aber on 10 minutes, only for Luke Borelli to level the scores six minutes later. The Black and Greens improved after the break and Williams created the chance for Chris Venables to lob a second on the hour, before sending in a corner which Rhys Griffiths headed goalbound, for Sean Pemberton to complete the scoring with a headed own goal on 71 minutes.


On a drizzly night a pre match Club Photo ensured a decent turnout of 404, and a lively Friday night atmosphere at Park Avenue. Visitors Haverfordwest created the first chance when Borelli's ball in from the left fell for stand in centre forward Sean Pemberton, but he could only tap it back to Mike Lewis in Aber's goal. Another Borelli cross was gathered by Lewis, but then came the first moment of real quality when Geoff Kellaway picked out Craig Williams out on the left, and the Taff's Well Touchline Terror hit a sumptuous lob first time over Craig Morris' head to open the scoring: a brilliant strike. Chris Venables tried another lob minutes later, but then the visitors equalised when  the impressive Greg Walters managed to pick out Borelli at the back stick, and he tapped home. Pemberton headed wide again, Kellaway had a flick saved as did Borelli, and then Ross Stephens picked out Venables at the back post, but he headed inches wide, and  a generally disappointing first half ended 1-1.

The second half started with the visitors creating most of the chances, with Pemberton having a low shot saved, and heading wide, but then on the hour the game turned when Williams cut inside from the left after a positive run and his low shot brought a save from Morris which spooned the ball into the air, and Venables managed to hook the ball over the goalkeeper to score with an instinctive lob which brought his season tally to 17, back on top of the Golden Boot List. With the Dias Stand dancing, Rhys Griffiths released Kellaway through with a deft touch, and his shot was parried inches wide by Morris, but then the killer third came when Williams' corner from the left was perfect for Griffiths to direct a strong header goalbound, which deflected in off the unfortunate Pemberton's head. Aber still had some defending to do, with Stephens, Lee Surman and Antonio Corbisiero making crucial blocks to defend their lead. Walters curled an effort wide, and then late on sub Liam Jaques set up Williams for another blocked effort, and the game ended at 3-1: a testament to Wyn Thomas and his Players' desire to get a result when it really mattered.

This precious victory keeps Aber right in the running for the UEFA Europa League Play Offs, and with seventeen points garnered from their eight post split game to date, the Black and Greens can confidently look forward to another important clash at Carmarthen Town next Saturday afternoon (ko 2.30pm).
