ABERYSTWYTH Town eased to comfortable 5-0 pre-season victory in their hastily arranged friendly match against Cambrian Tyres Aberystwyth and District League side Tregaron Turfs.

A brace apiece from new signings Luke Boundford and Rio Ahmadi, plus a bullet header from Ryan Wollacott, set them up nicely for their FAW Nathaniel MG Cup tie at Cambrian and Clydach on Saturday.

Aber were extremely grateful to the Turfs for filling in at the last moment, when Aber’s intended opponents Haverfordwest failed to raise a side.

As expected, they dominated the match with Aber fan Matty Toy in goal for Tregaron enjoying a very busy debut at Park Avenue.

The Seasiders took the lead on 23 minutes when Ahmadi showed some lovely control to bring down the ball and set up former Newtown man Boundford for a tap in.

Four minutes later Ahmadi doubled the lead, bearing in on goal down the right flank and flicking the ball expertly into the far corner for 2-0.

The Turfs went close with a header at the other end, but the scoreline remained unchanged until the break.

A number of substitutions inevitably ensued after the break, but the pattern of play remained, with Aber dominating the ball, but the Turfs threatening on the break on occasions.

On 68 minutes Boundford bagged his second goal with a deft flicked header into the corner from Joe Phillips’ cute left wing cross, and then young sub Richie Ricketts again made an impact late on.

His corner from the left on 78 minutes set up Wollacott beautifully for a bullet header into the net for 4-0.

The teenager then picked out Wollacott again with three minutes left, and the centre half headed back across goal for Ahmadi to complete the scoring.

There were gasps from the Tregaron faithful when Chris Wilkins’ shot from the left squeaked agonisingly past the post, but the Black and Greens stood firm to maintain their clean sheet.

A 5-0 scoreline was probably a fair reflection of a dominant performance from the Black and Greens.

Aber will be happy to have ended their pre-0season with some goals and a clean sheet, and with five players missing through injury the squad is looking strong ahead of the big kick-off.

Tregaron meanwhile were a credit to themselves and the Cambrian Tyres Aberystwyth & District League and contributed to an entertaining evening of football at Park Avenue.

Now for the real thing on Saturday.
