Mid Wales League, Division Two
Hay St Mary's 3 Talgarth Town 2 (att 317)
This was the fourth of the four Saturday games on the "Mid Wales Hop", and as the one of the four that I hadn't been to previously the timing suited me perfectly.
However, much like my afternoons game at Henbury, it was a revisit of sorts. I saw Hay St Mary's play at home back in 1991, but then they played on the outfield of the adjacent cricket ground. Their home venue has had quite a makeover in the intervening years, with two new enclosed pitches, both with spectator accommodation, and one fully floodlit.
Being a "hop" match their were plenty of familiar faces among the large crowd, and a chance to catch up with people at these events usually provides enough entertainment to make up for any lack on the pitch.
But this game was well worth watching, with some well taken goals. Talgarth took an early lead, but Hay fought back to lead 2-1 at half time. A third goal for the home side looked to have made the points safe, but Talgarth reduced the arrears, and came close to equalising as the game reached a dramatic conclusion.
