Two goals in the closing minutes put an end to Pontypridd AFC men’s reserves hopes of a Bernard Martin Cup run in the first game of the season at Taff Vale Park.
It started so well for the Black Sheep against higher division Penrhos with Leo Wilson converting a 14th minute penalty. The hosts defended valiantly throughout, getting to half-time in the lead. However, the pressure and Penrhos levelled halfway through the second-half.
The game looked destined for a penalty shoot-out until the 88th minute when Penrhos took the lead for the first time in the game, then added a third a minute later to secure their progress.
A determined team effort, but it wasn’t quite enough in the end for the Ponty side.
