Congratulations to Presteigne Juniors’ Under 17s squad who have booked their place in the end-of-season cup final after a fine 3-1 win over Pegasus Colts.
Joint-manager, Haydn Williams was delighted with his side’s success as they can now look forward to a showdown with Hinton on Sunday, 10 May.
“It was a great result away at Peggy although, despite the fact we completely controlled the first half, we failed to convert a number of good opportunities so it was goal-less at half time,” said Haydn.
“The defence was never troubled and we started the second half in the same way Peggy back and using our pace to create chance after chance.
“Kai Dayas and Josh Griffiths controlled the midfield and Liam Tompkins played some superb balls into the channel.
“Josh Griffiths scored with a left-footed shot after about 10 minutes of the second half, and then Josh Gardner nipped in to slot home after a defensive mix up.
“Peggy got a goal back from a corner but we continued to push forward.
“Another quality delivery from Luke resulted in Bertie slotting home at the back post to make it 3-1.
“We saw the game out with ease to earn a place on the cup final against Hinton on 10th May.
“What a way to bow out of 10 years of junior soccer – brilliant lads and 10 May is my birthday!”
