Wizards stun shell-shocked Kilgetty

 

Merlins Bridge 4 – Kilgetty 3

 
Merlins Bridge mounted a terrific second half comeback to seal an unlikely victory against shell-shocked Kilgetty at the Pembrokeshire Sports Village.
 
Kilgetty led 3-0 at half time and at that stage it looked as if it was going to be a routine second half win for the visitors, however Wizards boss Mike Preddy was delighted with his side’s character and desire as they clawed back the deficit to pick up their third win of the season.
 
The visitors were two-up with only 17 minutes on the clock both scored by Kyle Marsh, the central defender powerfully headed home Lloyd Hughes’ corner for the opener, then he added the second as a half cleared corner was lashed home from inside the 18 yard area.
 
Kilgetty added a third through the dangerous Hughes who finished clinically with an exquisite left footed finish.
 
However, the second half told a different story as the Wizards began to control matters and they were rewarded as Hayden Dimond finished from close range as the striker got on the end of a perfect Lee Hudgell cross.
 
Two minutes later Nathan Evans struck his sides’ second in similar fashion as his side’s opener, the Wizards continued to press as Dimond equalised from an acute angle.

In the 77^th minute the Wizards were reduced to ten men as two-goal hero Dimond was issued a second yellow card, but the hosts were still determined to get the win as skipper Jordan Thomas’ cross fell to substitute David Cromwell who struck an 89^th minute volley for the winner to stun Kilgetty.
