Under 18s lose out by the odd goal in seven

Presteigne St Andrews FC
Connor Bird was on target twice for the Under 18s

Presteigne St Andrews Under 18s slipped to a 4-3 home defeat in Monday night’s HFA Floodlit Youth League match against Llandrindod Wells at Llanandras Park.

Presteigne found themselves a goal down in the first half but hit back to equalise within two minutes when Connor Bird scored from the penalty spot.

It was 1-1 at half-time, but Presteigne then went in front when Adam Farmer was on target with a header, but that was as good as it got for the home side.

Llandrindod were to enjoy something of a purple patch in which they scored three times in little over a quarter of an hour as they effectively took the game away from Presteigne.

Connor Bird netted his second goal of the night to give Presteigne a glimmer of hope heading into the closing stages, but Llandrindod were good enough to see the game out and so Trevor Gummer’s side slipped to another narrow, but high-scoring defeat.

There will be a more detailed report on the game up online at some stage on Tuesday 29 March just as soon as Trevor has emailed over the necessary information.
