AAround
30
supporters
traveled
to
leafy
Treforest
hoping
new
manager
Dean
Raven
could inspire his squad at a difficult venue.
Dan
Field
and
Josh
Davies
returned
to
the
starting
line
up
while
3
new
signings,
David
Iteke,
Eddie
Santos
and
Elton Injai were in the original chosen 11.
After
the
impeccable
2
minutes
silence
for
Remembrance,
the
10th
minute
saw
Santos
set
Luke
Boyle in for a shot over the bar.
Immediately
the
home
side
had
an
effort
hit
the
Aber
cross-bar with Field palming the rebound away.
The
useful
home
wing
men
stretched
the
away
defence
resulting
in
a
dubious
free
kick
on
28
minutes
which
rifled into the net for a 1-0 lead to Treforest.
However,
a
Leon
Jacka
quickly
taken
30
yard
free
kick
on
41
minutes
saw
the
home
'keeper
unable
to
keep
it
out for an interval 1-1.
The
first
effort
of
the
second
half
saw
Injai's
attempt
saved
by
the
Treforest
'keeper,
Field
doing
even
better
straight after with a flying save for a fruitless corner.
The
away
following
were
ecstatic
on
57
minutes
as
a
raid
down
the
left
from
Injai
saw
Boyle's
flicked
header
parried
by
the
home
custodian
only
for
Santos
to
notch
his first for Aberdare and a 2-1 lead.
Sadly,
Treforest
straight
away
raided
down
their
left
and
the cross was not dealt with resulting in the equalizer.
An
Aber
triple
substitution
followed
on
70
minutes,
Player
of
the
Match
Field
making
another
super
save
on
73
minutes
but
the
resulting
corner
was
easily
knocked
home for a 3-2 home lead.
Field
again
saved
just
2
minutes
later,
Aber
almost
scoring
on
86
minutes
as
a
Jacka
free
kick
was
parried
by the Treforest No.1.
From
then
on
the
hosts
employed
simple
game
management to end the game at 3-2.
Obvious
disappointment
for
the
loyal
Aber
contingent.
hopefully
a
better
outcome
on
Saturday
16th
November
when
Llanrumney
visit
the
Easy
Panels
Stadium
for
a
2.00 p.m. start.
