Tight result in local derby

Gwent County Division Two - Wednesday, April 6

Race 1 v Cwmffrwdoer 2

This local derby got off to a flying start when from the 'Doer's kick-off David Jenkins put Race 1-0 up. From the restart Ricky Malson fed Kristian Howells, whose left foot cross found Ryan Waite in space to score with a neat header to put the scores level. In the 25 minute, once again from a Howells cross, Ryan Waite rose above the home defence to score with another headed goal for the 'Doer to take a 2-1 lead into the interval. In the second half the 'Doer had the majority of the play and but for keeper Terry Watkins would have scored more, but were satisfied with a 2-1 win.

Cefn Fforest 2 v Cwmffrwdoer Sports 5

The 'Doer travelled to Cefn Fforest, who were on good form themselves. The 'Doer took the lead when Kristian Howells scored a penalty, they increased their lead with an own goal from a corner taken by Andrew Davies. It was now an onslaught from the visitors with Scott Wilson scored from a 25 yard volley from a free-kick and getting a second goal just before the interval to make it 4-0 at half-time. The home side made it 4-1 in the second half only for Scott Wilson to regain the lead and score his hat-trick. With minutes left Cefn Fforest scored to make it 5-2, but it was another three points for the 'Doer.
