CEMAES CRUISE TO THIRD SEMI-FINAL

HUWS GRAY sponsored MEGAN Cup quarter-final ties

The two scheduled quarter-final ties in the HUWS GRAY Megan Cup, called off before Christmas, got underway today with Cemaes Bay and Valley both bagged four goals booking them a place in the semi-finals.

Cemaes Bay also scored four goals, booking them their third semi-final place, and that is excluding the NWCFA Junior Cup where they are on course to make it four.

Against a Llangefni Reserve team that never seemed to get going and who looked below par after the layoff, Cemaes did not seem to be in danger at any point in the game. Ricky Jones put them ahead in the twentieth minute and six minutes later Huw Torr made it two. Sion Wyn Griffiths effectively wrapped it up when he made it three nil [36], and Griffiths, who netted the winner last week in the eighty seventh minute showed that, whilst lightning may not strike in the same place twice, he can, as he struck his second, in the eighty seventh minute again.

Cemaes will now host the winner of Trearddur Bay Reserves and Holy Isle.

BRO GOPRONWY V VALLEY

Bro Goronwy, League leaders, despite home advantage faced a tough tie with second placed Valley being the visitors. A competitive first forty five minutes ended in dead-lock, neither side having found the net though both teams had played their part in providing the spectators with an entertaining contest – lacking only goals.

The second half more than made up for it with six goals being scored. Just nine minutes after the re-start Valley took the lead , Tommy Jenkins doing the damage. Six minutes later Bro knew they would have their work cut out if they were to make the semi-final , when Adam Roberts strike doubled Valley’s advantage. The hosts now had to up the ante, throw caution to the wind if they were to get back into the game....and they did, much travelled striker, Ioan Hughes continuing his goal a game finding the net [68]. Valley didn’t panic and within three minutes Tommy Jenkins had restored their two goal advantage with his second [3-1] the visitors were now looking to kill the game off and Nathan Hughes did so when he hit goal number four on ninety minutes. Even then, Bro were not finished and Jordan Scott pulled another back in injury time[91]
