If Trefelin wanted to send out a statement to the rest of the Cymru South, last night’s commanding victory over top-of-the-table Cambrian United will have done just that.
Once a scrappy first half was out of the way, Trefelin soon asserted their quality as Cambrian’s defensive errors were punished. This was never a contest of free-flowing football and curated attacks, but rather a combative test of nerve to see who’d flinch first.
Cambrian are no mugs – especially at home, where until last night, they’d taken five wins from five and still boast the best defensive record in the league. Yet, when Jasper Jones and Tyler Brock pounced on Cambrian’s defensive lapses, it was Trefelin’s dominance at the back that paved the way to an important three points for Andy Hill’s side.
Marshalled by the excellent Louis Gerrard, Trefelin defiantly shut down the hosts’ attempts to forge a way back into the contest to take a win that will further galvanise their promotion ambitions.
The win is perhaps all the more impressive in the absence of captain Joseph Jones and Luke Bowen.
Jones could be weeks away, but Trefelin anxiously await news on veteran marksman Bowen, who faces between four-to-six weeks out in the best-case scenario, but could potentially be sidelined for around four months.
COUNTY ADD TO BALA TOWN WOES
There are signs of life at Haverfordwest after a successive home win helps ease the club’s poor start. It’s difficult to envisage County’s difficulties extending much further this season, and with performances improving and players returning from injury, you expect the side to be on an upward trajectory sooner rather than later.
The same perhaps cannot be said for their opponents last night, Bala Town, who, despite their current mid-table position, have now crashed to a fourth straight defeat.
This was always going to be a difficult campaign for the Lakesiders and one of transition following the departure of Colin Caton. A strong start, which saw them lose just one of their opening five games, may have simply masked the size of the job that Steve Fisher has on his hands this season.
Fisher evidently feels his players need to deliver more, and his complaint that everyone needs to be on the same page underlines the issues the Lakesiders are having right now. Not dissimilar to Haverfordwest, the break in the league schedule for the Welsh Cup arrives at a good time next weekend.
