After
being
involved
in
20
goals
from
their
first
3
games,
Aberdare
welcomed
Ardal
South East side Newport Corinthians in a JD Welsh Cup tie.
With
some
senior
players
unavailable
there
were
10
of
the
matchday
squad
under
the
age
of
20
and
they
were
to
do
the
club
proud
with
their
efforts
-
with
the
team
at
the
end
of
the
game
finishing
with
four
players
aged
16
- and starting the game were other 16 year olds Cam Sage and Jack Ford making their full debuts.
Attacking the town end the first chance fell to Aber on 7 minutes as Harri Jones and Sage ran through but could
not convert.
Within
60
seconds
Newport
had
flicked
onto
the
Aberdare
crossbar,
Leon
Jacka
then
going
close
with
a
drive
and the away side also troubling the home defence.
On 14 minutes a visiting shot hit the far post with the rebound blazed over.

Just before the half-hour Dan Field twice prevented an away goal with fine saves.
After
33
minutes
an
away
attack
down
the
right
was
not
dealt
with
and
Newport
opened
the
scoring
from
close
range.
Another long range Jacka effort was saved as their was no more scoring in the first half.
The
50th
minute
saw
Connor
Berry
down
the
left
to
gain
a
fruitless
corner,
Shay
Welch
being
unable
to
continue
and replaced by Southern Rowlands.
70
minutes
saw
Berry
do
well
to
get
away
down
the
right
after
help
from
Rowlands
but
his
attempt
hit
the
side-
netting.
Another young substitute saw Corey Hansford replace Ford who, like his team mates, had given their all.
Newport
headed
over
an
82nd
minute
corner
before
Player
of
the
Match
Field
kept
Aber
in
it
with
another
good
save.
86
minutes
saw
Zach
O'Brien
replace
Harri
Jones
but
the
visitors
were
again
thwarted
in
injury
time
by
another
Field save.
So
it
finished
1-0
to
the
side
2
divisions
higher
than
Aberdare,
everyone
associated
with
the
hosts
should
be
well
pleased with the promise and ability shown by such a young squad.
