Carnarvon Town made light work of Ammanford on Friday evening, running out 5-0 winners in the Premier League's Regular Season round eight. The visitors took all three points and extended their advantage over the hosts, who remain winless after eight matches.
And here's the thing about the league table — the gap between these two sides has only widened. Ammanford sit fourteenth with two points from eight games, while Carnarvon Town occupy third place on eighteen points. The hosts have not won a single match this season.
To be fair, the pattern was already clear before kickoff. Ammanford had lost their previous four league fixtures, including a 0-5 defeat to Cardiff Met just days earlier. Carnarvon Town, meanwhile, had won six of their eight matches and were consistently challenging at the upper end of the table.
The statistics told the same story without embellishment. Carnarvon Town dominated possession at 71 per cent and registered 93 attacks compared with just 34 from the hosts. The visitors landed six shots on target and converted them efficiently, while Ammanford failed to register a single shot on target all evening.
One red card for the hosts added to their misery and effectively ended any chance of recovery. By then the result was beyond doubt, and Carnarvon Town closed the game out without incident. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Ammanford, but not in a way that will comfort anyone at the club.
