Croesyceiliog 0 Goytre United 3

Croesyceiliog never recovered from a nightmare start that saw them conceded two goals within the first ten minutes against title chasing Goytre United.
Croesy were never expected to gain anything out of this game but despite the opening twenty minutes they more than matched their visitors and with a little bit of luck the score would have been a lot closer than what it turned out to be.
Goytre got off to a perfect start for them as Richard Ryan netted twice early on,firstly after five minutes he latched onto a cross from the left hand side and Ryan was left in loads of space to divert the ball past John Bailey.Goytre were passing the ball round with confidence and are one of the best sides that Croesy have played this season and deserve to be at the top going for the title,though due to the higher costs in the Welsh Premier league they don't wish to take the step up.
Richard Ryan added a quick fire second on ten minutes when after patient build up,Goytre sprung forward quickly and Ryan fired passed Bailey from the edge of the area.Richard Ryan then saw a deflected effort hit the post before the danger passing,however Croesy came into the game from midway through the first half and came close to pulling a goal back after thirty-two minutes,Jamie Jenkins found Ricky Coffe whose shot beat Chris Curtis in the Goytre goal but the ball hit the post before bouncing back into the arms of the visiting keeper.Croesy were denied a clear penalty four minutes before the break ,Mark Jones shot hit a defenders hand and every Croesy player appealed for a penalty and the assistant referee flagged for a penalty but the referee ignored the flag and waved play on.Ricky Coffe then had a shot saved from twenty yards out by Curtis after latching onto a pass by Carl Evans.
Onto the second half and it was action packed with both sides testing the keepers and near misses as shots went wide but Goytre added a third sixteen minutes from time when a cross from the left was diverted home at the near post to complete a three-nil away victory.
Croesy then had a nervous hour's wait before the news came through that relegation rivals Maesteg Park had suffered defeat on the night as well,so the gap remains ten points between Croesy and Maesteg Park and though Maesteg have three games in hand they only have six games left in total to firstly bridge the gap then overtake Croesyceiliog.
Croesyceiliog entertain leaders Ton Pentre on Saturday with a 2.30 kick off.
