Presteigne Reserves recorded their second win of the Mid Wales League (South) season as a strong second-half performance saw them ease to a comprehensive 6-0 win over visiting Bronllys.
Andy Crowe’s side had gone two weeks without a game but they showed little sign of rustiness as they proved far too strong for the league newcomers.
To be fair to Bronllys, they were more than in the game at the interval as Presteigne had to wait until five minutes before the break to open their account when Tom Gibbs fired home from inside the area.
But ‘Crowie’s’ side stepped it up after the break with Alan Stocker making it 2-0 and then Duane Anning’s cross shot was helped into his own net by the visiting keeper.
Alan Stocker then added three more goals of his own as the Reserves stretched away from their visitors to round off a comprehensive victory.
Andy Crowe was obviously happy with the victory but felt the margin could have been even greater.
“It could have been a lot more, especially in the second half when we lost our shape a bit as everyone wanted to get in on the goalscoring action,” he said.
“Bronllys will get better – after all, this was their first game in the league and they haven’t had the most settled start when it was thought they were going to drop out of the league at one stage.
“But you can’t complain really after a 6-0 win so we will take that and move on to Saturday now when we will head to Llandrindod Wells Reserves.”
