Gwalchmai 0 CPD Penrhyndeudraeth 7

Marco Van Basten, Wayne Rooney, Gareth Bale….just three football legends who specialised in acrobatic goals.

Now we can add Penrhyndeudraeth’s Reece Evans to the illustrious list.

Evans scored a truly stunning goal at Maes Meurig on Saturday which any of the aforementioned trio would have been proud to call their own.

Six minutes into the second half, with Penrhyn 5-0 up, Evans switched play by lofting the ball out to Ifan Jones on the left.

Jones crossed and Evans timed his run to perfection, volleying in a bicycle kick from the gods about 15 yards out..

It was the highlight of a ruthless performance from Penrhyndeudraeth which lifted them up to second in the table.

The scoring began in the 20th minute when Cedri Jones won the ball in midfield and sent a slide-rule pass through to Gwion Davies, whose shot ballooned up off keeper Kenny Hughes and soared into the net.

Two minutes later it was 2-0 courtesy of a magnificent goal, Cian Pritchard lashing an unstoppable 20-yard shot into the top left-hand corner.

A third goal arrived after 26 when Evans played a great pass in behind the Gwalchmai defence and Cai Henshaw finished clinically from an angle.

Pritchard, last season’s 33-goal hero, made it 11 for the current campaign with a double before the break.

His first was a close range finish after an Evans effort bounced out off keeper Jones.

The second was sublime, Pritchard forced out wide by the keeper but from the tightest of angles lobbing a beauty into the net.

The second half saw Penrhyn remain in command, Evans scoring his wonder goal before Hughes palmed a right-wing cross into the path of Cedri Jones, who netted number seven with a measured finish.
