Reserve-team report and 100 Club

Presteigne St Andrews FC
Reserve-team boss Stuart Skidmore was disappointed by his side's slack defending

My thanks to Reserve-team boss Stuart Skidmore for sending me a few details on Saturday’s disappointing home defeat by Llandrindod Wells Reserves.

While the Reserves started each half strongly, they ultimately had to play second fiddle to the Spa club’s second string and Stuart felt it was a combination of slack defending and a lack of concentration that let his side down.

Not even the inclusion of Adriano Girolami in the Reserves’ side could prevent them from slipping to defeat, although ‘Adj’ did mark his return to the club with a goal.

Well done to Merv Stephens who netted twice for ‘Skiddy’s’ boys, but they will now they have to tighten up defensively ahead of the visit of one of the Mid Wales League (South) title favourites when Newcastle come to town this weekend.

There is a detailed report on Saturday’s game on the Reserves page of the site – click on the relevant tab at the top of the page and you will be redirected to it.

Before that, on Friday night, the club will hold the delayed draw for October 100 Club.  This will take place in the Radnorshire Arms at 9.00pm.
