MATCH REPORTS – NOVEMBER 30

Cefn Albion 1 Dolgellau Athletic 5

The day after he represented Wales Colleges, Osian Morris netted all five goals in a sensational performance from ANE leaders Dolgellau at Clywedog Park.
The home side started brightest and worked the ball well from side to side throughout. However, Dol played to the conditions best.
In the 17th minute the visitors took the lead when Guto Pugh excellently broke up the play and matched that with a brilliantly weighted ball through for Osian Morris to carry, round the keeper and put Dol in the lead.
Shortly after Harri Davies headed clear, the ball was hooked on by Rob Evans which Morris plucked from the sky, got within shooting range and buried into the bottom corner.
Dol dealt with more home pressure before Nathan Morris was able to release a ball down the channel into the path of Osian Morris, who was then floored in the penalty area.
Osian Morris dispatched the penalty, securing himself a first half hat-trick.
Just before half time, Callum Mannion pulled one back for Cefn.
Albion went hell for leather at the start of the second half, but then from nowhere, they gifted Dol a fourth goal as defence and keeper tried to play from the back where Osian Morris was on hand to close down and deflect the glovesman’s effort to clear goalwards and in.
Cefn never gave in and Dol had to be dogged throughout.
Dol had some chances on the break, the main one enabling Osian Morris to score his fifth via a Pugh assist.
An unbelievable performance away from home by Dolgellau with so many players missing through injury and suspension, and for Osian to do what he did the day after representing Colegau Cymru in a 6-1 win over Colegau Lloegr is purely magical.
