Penarth Town 1

Kenfig Hill 3

WITH Kenfig Hill one of the contenders to win the league, Penarth had the chance to show they could compete with the best -­ but a more organised and experienced team came away with the points.

A confident Kenfig team took the game to Penarth, and by the time the home side managed to find any rhythm, they were 2-0 down after 15 minutes.

As the first half went on, Penarth gained the upper hand and applied pressure, and found a goal through Haiden who scored directly from a corner.

But it seemed to make Penarth sit back, and it wasn't long before Kenfig Hill again used their height advantage to score a third.

With a formation change at half-time, Penarth came out a different side.

Haiden, Gadge, Scouse, Johnny C and Damo in midfield were starting to outclass the opposition midfield, and Wiggy and James up front were getting chances ­- but a very good Kenfig side dealt with the pressure and held out for a deserved win.

Man of the match Chris Bramhill (Scouser).
