Match Report
Trethomas Bluebirds came from behind to beat Carmarthen Town 3-2 in the Welsh Championship South division on Monday evening. The visitors took an early lead despite J. Thomas firing twice in the first three minutes for the hosts. By then the game had already swung direction, and Trethomas never looked back after L. Reed pulled them level at 25 minutes.
What followed was a rapid exchange of blows. N. Ferreira restored Trethomas' advantage just two minutes later, and J. Clarke extended the lead before the half-hour mark with a composed finish. Carmarthen pulled one back through J. Thomas' partner in crime, but the deficit was already too great to overcome.
The home side refused to lie down. They pressed forward in search of an equaliser, but Trethomas held firm until the dying stages. L. Thomas sealed the result with a late goal in the 90th minute plus three, sending the travelling supporters back to the car park with smiles on their faces.
Standings impact
Carmarthen remain third with 10 points from five games, though their run of consistency took another knock. They had three wins, one draw and one loss before this match. Trethomas move up to 10th place with five points from five outings, having managed just one victory and two draws so far.
The visitors' recent form suggests they can raise the tempo when they need to. They came into this fixture with a 5-2 win over Afan Lido, a 1-2 loss to Pontypridd Town, and a 2-4 defeat to Caerau Ely. Not the kind of record you'd expect to produce a comeback win, but football rarely follows the script.
