Merlins Bridge 7

Solva 0

Champions Merlins Bridge had too much firepower for struggling Solva to cope with.

This result pushed the Wizards up to second in the table, 11 points behind clear leaders Hakin United.

Stephen McNabney grabbed five goals, the striker scoring in the ninth and 44th minutes to give the Wizards a two-nil half time lead.

After the break the Wizards dominated possession and territory as McNabney added three further goals, and Brett Shakir and a Gethin Roberts penalty completed the rout for Bernie Armstrong’s team.

Solva goalkeeper Chris Davies did pull off one superb save to deny Ben Skudder.

Merlins Bridge: Gary Thomas, Simon Gilderdale, Simon Thomas, Paul Thomas, Lee Hudgell, Gethin Roberts, Peter Thomas, Nathan Thomas, Dai Davies, Ben Skudder, Stephen McNabney. Brett Shakir, Matt D’Ivry.

Solva: Chris Davies, Joe Shaw, Sean Ellison, Richard Davies, Gary Reynolds, Gareth Thomas, Bryan Phillips, Ben Jones, Joe Elliott, Luke Jones. Subs: Luke Griffin, Ben Ford.

Referee: Kevin Bowen.
