WELSH Schools Under 18s, captained by Aberystwyth’s Cameron Allen, secured an impressive 4-0 against their Australian counterparts at Park Avenue.

Wales started brightly in Aberystwyth on Thursday evening with Eduardo Bregua firing against the bar after a good run and cross by Caernarfon Town’s Fabrizio Murtas.

Harry Dean put young Dragons ahead on the half hour with a close range finish after Australia failed to deal with a corner.

Wales deserved more form their first half endeavours but they blew the visitors away after the break.

Allen doubled their advantage with a close range finish after his initial penalty attempt had been cleared by the keeper to the delight of the Park Avenue faithful.

Finn Roberts made it 3-0 with a stunning effort from the edge of the area with five minutes to go and Jack Shaw capped an impressive all-round team performance with another close range finish from a corner.

Ysgol Penglais pupil Allen said: “I can’t explain it honestly, to captain our first game and win 4-0 there’s nothing better.

“It’s always good as a striker to get a goal in your first game so hopefully I can add more.”

Wales manager and former Seasider Marc Lloyd Williams said: “It’s a special victory that I wasn’t expecting at the start of the evening after what I saw of Australia on Tuesday afternoon.

“But we asked the lads to play and stick to a plan and they did that, the plan worked and I must praise every single one of the boys, they were brilliant tonight.”
