Montgomeryshire Cup, Second Round
Newtown Wanderers 0 Llanfair United 5 (att 29)
As expected a stroll in the park for Llanfair, who went ahead after eight minutes, netted a second just before half time, and added three more after the break. They should have scored more, but Wanderers keeper was in good form.
The scoreline was no disgrace to Wanderers, who play in the Montgomeryshire Amateur League's second division, a division lower than Llanfair's reserve team. They were never likely to pull off a cup shock against Llanfair's high-flying first team, but had their moments and created a few half chances.
Newtown Wanderers play at the Riverside Pitches, a scenic spot close to Newtown FC's impressive Latham Park stadium. The players change at Latham Park, then follow a footpath through parkland to the pitch.
There are several pitches at Riverside. Walking from Latham Park, and the car park, today's game was played on the third full size pitch you come to. The only facilities are a few park benches. On a sunny afternoon, and with an array of trees in autumnal colours forming an impressive backdrop, it was quite idyllic.
