Bay Cup Semi Final
Cardigan Town will meet Newcastle Emlyn in the final of the Bay Cup after both teams came through for comfortable wins over the weekend.
The Magpies were well worth their 4-1 victory over local rivals St Dogmaels at the School Field and they were pretty much home and dry at the break as they led by 3-0. Ben Davies who was very influential throughout, got the visitors off to a flying start when he netted with a superb strike and within ten minutes Town had trebled their lead with goals from Ewan Jones and Tomos Toft to leave an understrength St Dogmaels team with a mountain to climb.
The hosts though did enjoy a few decent chances with Rhys Jones going close with a snap shot and Ioan Owen had a half chance that was wide of the target.
St Dogmaels came flying out of the blocks after the interval following the promptings of skipper Jason Williams and they got off to an excellent start after when John Ridgley scored from an acute angle and the greens pushed hard for another score to bring them back into the game and Owen was gifted two decent chances with one of these from a header but he was unable to capitalise and they never really went close after this.
Cardigan eventually weathered the storm and they killed the game off with twelve minuets to go when Ewan Jones scored a fine individual goal to round off an excellent performance up front.
There was a similar story at Parc Emlyn where the reds opened their account very early in the game and the contest was all but over by the break after inform striker Jake Kelly had run rings around the New Quay defence.
Kelly went on to claim four goals just as he did in the previous round against Crannog and there were goals also for Dafydd Owens and defender Huw Jones with a penalty as they hit the seasiders for six without reply.
