NWCFA 1 v 2 NEWFA
played at Prestatyn Town FC
In a pulsating and thoroughly entertaining encounter, Jamie Hunter's U'18 side got off to a winning start to this season's Ram Leisure Inter-Association Trophy, by beating last years' winners.
NEWFA found themselves a goal down at the break due to a defensive mix-up, but during that half we hit the bar twice and played some excellent football, and remained positive that we could turn the deficit around in the second half. In fairness the second 45 minutes was a tighter affair with NWCFA this time hitting the woodwork twice, but their keeper made some excellent saves too. NEWFA drew level with George Cowell planting a header in the goal following some great work by Aled Evans. NEWFA pressed on and got the winner with Jamie Crowther heading home following a corner, this was somewhat ironic as the Mold Alex player had starred for NWCFA in last seasons Competition, but has since moved to the North East Wales FA Area - thankfully!!
The last 10 minutes called for some great defensive work from our lads as they pushed forward in search of an equaliser, and Richard Parry in goal for us produced a top class save in the closing stages. Well done boys and many thanks to Prestatyn Town for their superb hospitality before during and after the match.
This result will go a long way in helping our Coaching and Development Chairman Mr John Hughes to make a speedy and full recovery from his recent illness. A word of thanks must also go to Mr David Parry of Rhos Aelwd FC for all his help in the build up to the game following John's enforced stay in Hospital, it's great to know that in times of adversity the Football Community in NEWFA Area can be relied upon to help out!!
