Five-star youth cruise into last eight
Five-star youth cruise into last eight
Sunday 27 November 2011
THE New Saints cruised into the quarter-finals of the FAW Youth Cup with a five-goal demolition of Cefn Druids at The Rock on Sunday.
Tom Allen gave the visitors an early boost when his shot from just outside the box eluded home keeper Jamie Bartlett and found the bottom corner after just six minutes.
TNS continued to dominate with keeper Alex Ramsey a virtual spectator and, after a Jordan Cartwright shot had been palmed onto the crossbar by Bartlett, the Saints finally doubled their lead on the half-hour.
A right-wing corner was cleared only as far as Aaron Simms, who drove a 25-yard shot through a crowded box and into the net.
Rampant TNS added two more goals inside the next five minutes with confusion in the box following a corner ending with Sean Ellis driving home from close range.
And Naim Arsan grabbed the fourth with a far post header from Brody Milligan's inviting right-wing cross.
Druids had Adam Mills sent-off for a second caution in the 62nd-minute and Ellis completed the rout with his second and the Saints' fifth goal.
