Presteigne St Andrews FC and Rhosgoch Rangers served up a goal-fest for the visiting Groundhoppers in the opening Spar Mid Wales League, second division game of the season at Llanandras Park.
Rhosgoch scored with pretty much the last kick of the game to take a point after referee Chris Bodenham reportedly played eight minutes of added time.
In front of a crowd of 260, things started really well for the home side who were 3-0 up in the opening 20 minutes, before Rhos got themselves on the scoresheet before the interval.
The second half ebbed and flowed with Rhosgoch pulling it back to 3-3, only for Presteigne to then open out a 5-3 lead.
But back came the visitors to first reduce arrears to 5-4, and then snatch a point with that late goal at the death in a match the was not short on entertainment but which will probably have both managers looking hard at their respective team’s defensive showing.
Christian Roberts continued his good start to the season with a brace for Presteigne, while Ieuan Crowe, Danny Evans with a penalty and Adriano Girolami with a volley were also on target.
There will be a more detailed report up on the first team page of the site as soon as I have the chance to have a word with Adge – possibly at the Beer Festival and Fun Day tomorrow.
A reminder there was no match today for the Reserves – they will next be in action on Tuesday, 28 August when they will head to Radnor Valley for a 6.30pm kick off in their Mid Wales League (South) fixture.
