In the second half, Ton and Gelli upped their game and scored four excellent goals through the strikeforce of Josh Evans (2), James Morey and Kieron Evans to run out 5-1 victors.

v Ton & Gelli -
08/11/09 Ton and Gelli Boys and Girls Club Under 9’s mini soccer section travelled down to Tonyrefail to play Ely Valley on the all weather astroturf at the local Comprehensive School. A sunny morning greeted the enthusiastic young footballers for a change. Playing with a little more confidence after improved showings in recent weeks, the first match was a closely fought encounter between two evenly matched teams. With the game looking like heading for a nil nil stalemate, some good link up play between Alex Morgan and Josh Evans saw the ball passed to Nathan Jones who made no mistake with a powerful finish past the home goalkeeper and a late winner. An excellent all round team performance with Garin Beams named man of the match for his all energy display. The second game saw the younger players being given a full match for the first week. Ton and Gelli started well and dominated much of the first half. Ben Howe was the first to react after a goalmouth scramble to fire home his first goal of the season. A couple of other missed chances were to prove costly. The home team strengthened their squad in the second half and scored three goals without reply to run out worthy 3-1 victors. Jack Elliot was named man of the match for his battling midfield showing. * * * WOMEN’S RUGBY - 2009 New players are invited to join the Treorchy Women’s Rugby Team who formed in June this year.

The first game saw a three nil win for AFC Porth with goalkeeper Ioan Wilcox named man of the match following an top drawer performance between the posts with some superb reflex saves.

Shaun Williams was named man of the match for a strong defensive display. * * * |
