Wind plays part as Haverfordwest blow away Airbus

Mar 23 2008 Wales On Sunday

Haverfordwest 4-0 Airbus UK

THIS was a pretty comfortable afternoon for the home side, although they did not get the final two goals until late.

It was destined to be influenced by the very strong wind, which was in Airbus’ favour in the first half. As a result, Haverfordwest kept the ball on the ground as much as possible. Neil Thomas put them ahead with a low shot after only two minutes, and Jack Christopher scored the second on the half-hour – a fierce right-footed hook shot from 20 yards.

Airbus only threatened when Gareth Owen launched long throws into the penalty area.

In the second half, Airbus played better, but their finishing let them down. The best effort they could manage was a shot from Phil Molyneaux, which was well saved by goalkeeper Lee Idzi. With time running out, Neil Thomas scored twice more to claim the match ball. His first came after a fine through ball by youth player Luke Robinson. The second was all his own work.
