Fourth Division Cup final.

Neyland 2nds 3-3 Pennar Robins 3rds (After extra time – Pennar Robins won 4-1 on penalties).

AFTER 120 minutes of action packed football in front of a large, vociferous crowd at the Conygar Bridge Meadow Stadium, it was Pennar’s penalty prowess which earned them victory over Neyland in a cracking game.

The Robins scored from all four penalties taken by Patrick McDonagh, Carl John, Paul Sly and Rhys Lucas and didn’t need their fifth because only Niall Day was successful for the Nomads as Billy Drinkwater saved one and the other hit the post.

This was cup football at its best and a great advertisement for the fourth division, with neither side giving an inch in a match well refereed by Ben Williams, assisted by Gareth Elliott and Andrew Hopkins.

It was the Robins who got the game off to a flier as a long ball forward allowed teenager Patrick McDonagh to fire in the opening goal with a low left footed drive.

McDonagh had a second chance which he put wide and Michael Groves was denied by Neyland keeper Marlon Hutchings in a good period for the Robins.

But Neyland fought back as Andrew Davies went close with a header and Shane Phillips fired over the bar - before they were awarded a penalty which Smith drove straight into the midriff of Robins’ keeper Billy Drinkwater.

The Nomads were made to pay for these missed chances when Harry Rowlands added the Robins’ second goal to give them a clear lead at half time.

But Neyland fought back with a goal from a Smith lob and the same player had another chance after Jo Durrant’s header hit the bar, but his goal-bound shot was blocked by Carl Vincent.

And the Nomads deservedly drew level when Jeremy Evans’ cross set up Smith to drive his shot home and take the game into extra time.

The action continued as McDonagh put Pennar sub Jamie Morgan through to score, only for Neyland to equalise when a Craig Harding corner was headed home, via the bar, by Andrew Davies.

In a frantic finish Pennar had Jamie Morgan sent off but neither side could find a winner, and the game went into a penalty shoot out at the clubhouse end.

The Robins kept their cool, and skipper Vincent received the silverware from league officials Micky Phillips and David Olyott.
