Ammanford progressed into the next round of the Welsh Blood Service League Cup on penalties.

The match saw Ammanford secure progression into the quarter-finals following an energetic tussle against Llantwit Major on the pitch.

The evening was also emotionally charged as it marked the farewell of club legend, Rhys Fisher.

A second-half equaliser by Rhys Davies led to the game being decided on penalties.

Hosts, Ammanford, came out of the gates slowly, with Joel Woodington of Llantwit Major managing to bypass their defence and score the first goal.

But Ammanford bounced back, creating two strong opportunities to equalise.

However, attempts by Harrison Lewis and Lewis Reed were thwarted by Llantwit's resolute defence.

Ammanford continued to pile on the pressure, with Reed and Morgan Clarke almost scoring from distance.

Despite trailing into the break, Ammanford's spirits were high, as Callum Thomas nearly delivered an equaliser with a stunning strike that hit the post.

Their efforts finally paid off shy of the 60-minute mark when Davies connected with a cross from Nich Arnold and sent it cleverly past Llantwit's goalkeeper, Ryley Allen, levelling the score.

Spurned on after the equaliser, Llantwit retaliated fiercely with two strong scoring opportunities.

A trio of young substitutes from Ammanford, including 16-year-old Gruff Newman, breathed new energy into the game.

The youngster narrowly missed scoring the winner with his acrobatic attempt after a smart play put together by the young lineup.

In the closing stages, Rob Jones of Llantwit hit a volley that was deflected just over the bar, sending the match to an inevitable penalty shootout.

The early stages of the shootout saw the first four attempts missed, attributed to the extraordinary performance by both young goalkeepers, Allen and Hutchings.

Pressures mounted as Llantwit continued to miss their penalties.

Ammanford's Adam Morgan and Jon Invernizzi capitalised on this, burying their penalty shots into the back of the net, securing Ammanford's place in the quarter-finals of the Welsh Blood Service League Cup.
