Dominant Ammanford unlucky not to win away at Abergavenny

A hard fought first half saw both teams have chances to score.

Ammanford keeper Kyle Marsh had to be alert as early as the first minute, saving well to prevent Abergavenny taking an early lead.

Ammanford slowly grew into the game with their best efforts in the first half hour coming from Callum Silcox and Liam Samuel who both saw shots fly over the bar.

Ben Soal then tested home keeper Connor Christie with a long range shot shortly before half time.

Ammanford took a grip of the game after half time with Soal particularly prominent in midfield.

The ever-dangerous Jordan Langley came close to giving Ammanford the lead two minutes after the break, forcing a save from home keeper Christie.

Marsh produced a fine save in the 61st minute, tipping the ball over the bar to prevent the home side taking the lead.

The rest of the half belonged to Ammanford with Langley and Callum Thomas looking particularly dangerous.

Ammanford survived to return home with a point.
