Flint Town United edged Ammanford 3-0 in the Premier League's regular season round 11 on Saturday afternoon at the home ground. The hosts claimed their maiden win of the campaign, ending a winless run that had stretched across eleven opening fixtures for both sides.
The breakthrough came in the fifty-first minute when T. Owolabi finished his chance to put the home side ahead. To be fair, the opening goal arrived after sustained pressure rather than a moment of individual brilliance — the hosts had worked a short corner just before, and the delivery found Owolabi unmarked in the box.
And here's the thing about that second goal in the sixty-second minute: Owolabi scored again so quickly after his first, and by then the visitors had switched off at the back. The home team pressed high up the pitch, caught Ammanford out of position, and they cut them open at will. We had backed the hosts for victory at 69 per cent confidence — and the match confirmed exactly what we called.
L. Mendes added the third in the seventy-third minute, finishing from another well-worked sequence. The goal came after a substitution for Ammanford, and the visitors seemed to have thrown everything at it without finding the right balance. Owolabi was substituted in the sixty-fourth minute, and Mendes followed in the seventy-fourth, both replaced after their contributions.
The statistics tell a straightforward story. Flint Town United registered 105 attacks to Ammanford's 92, with ten shots on target compared to four for the visitors. Possession sat at 53-47 in favour of the hosts, and the difference in shots off target — six to two — showed who created the better opportunities throughout the ninety minutes.
The result shifts the table immediately. Flint Town United move off the bottom of the league on two points, while Ammanford remain fourteen places ahead but still winless after ten games. The gap between them narrows to just one point, and the home side have finally got their season started.
