Jack Christopher helps Haverfordwest to win

Mar 9 2008 by Our Correspondent, Wales On Sunday

Newtown 1-4 Haverfordwest

HAVERFORDWEST cantered to victory to leave Newtown with just one point from their last four outings.

The West Wales men didn’t look back after Mike Hartley nodded in Luke Bowen’s cross from the left at the far post in the fourth minute.

Newtown, despite Richard Williams Cooke pulling an early chance wide, fell further behind on 26 minutes when Tom Ramasut slipped the ball through for Jack Christopher to slot his first goal of the game past keeper Dave Jones.

Bowen made it three on 56 minutes when he squeezed his far post header past Jones.

Newtown, with just three clean sheets in 27 league games this season, often looked vulnerable but soon reduced the arrears when substitute Barry Bellis nipped in to score from close range.

But thoughts of a comeback were short lived as Christopher restored the three-goal cushion with his second of the afternoon.
