-A minute after the

-..Henry Jones has his

-Partridge out to Eden.

-They need to get the ball

-into the middle.

-That's neat play

-and Blenkinsop can turn.

-This is a chance for Cook.

-Cook has given Cefn Druids

-a chink of light.

-Rode our luck in the end.

-The Druids kept going

-until the 94th minute.

-They gave us a bit of a scare.

-We need to learn to manage the game.

-We played some

-good football at times.

-It'll take time

-to gel this team together.

-We can only get better.

-You were a villain

-when you came here with Llanelli.

-Will the fans turn in your favour?

-I hope so.

-If we'd lost

-it might have been different.

-I'm a winner. I don't like losing.

-and get behind me.

-I am looking forward to

-the new season.

-We're playing a team that

-many people say...

-..have a chance of

-winning the league.

-We have a free go today.

-Our season does not depend

-on results...

-..against teams like Connah's Quay.

-We will enjoy the match.

-We'll take it a game at a time.

-We're aiming for the top six.

-I'm not looking any further

-ahead than today's match.

-Matthew Thomas did very well

-in the preseason games.

-He has not played at this

-level before.

-We'll see how he does.

-I have a lot of confidence in the

-team's prospects this season.

-The Old Gold are ready for it.

-GAP Connah's Quay are ready too.

-They beat Airbus in the last

-match of last season.

-They have made a lot of changes.

-Can they go for the title

-this season?

-They've signed very

-experienced players.

-Matty Williams knows how

-to win the league.

-Andy Morrison prepares

-his players well.

-They have had a busy summer.

-They played nine matches

-including four games in Europe.

-They played four games at a very

-high level in Europe.

-They will be ready to hit

-the ground running.

-Carmarthen have finished in the

-bottom half of the table...

-..for the last two seasons.

-They will be disappointed with

-the last two seasons.

-Mark Aizlewood says that the players

-are the fittest that they have been.

-They have prepared well. It is

-a big season for them.

-There are new teams but

-some old faces too.

-We have some old favourites in

-the commentary box too.

-Let's join Mike Davies

-and Malcolm Allen.

-The question we have to ask...

-..is are Connah's Quay ready to

-challenge The New Saints?

-I wonder who will win the tactical

-battle between the managers today.

-Here's how Carmarthen line up.

-They have three new

-players in the line-up.

-Lee Surman.

-They look a very well-balanced team.

-They let in too many

-goals last season.

-Lee Surman is a key

-signing for them.

-Kieran Lewis has returned

-from America.

-Ceri Morgan and Lewis Harling are

-the box to box players.

-Declan Carroll has a point to prove.

-He must show that he is good

-enough to play in this league.

-Matthew Thomas is a young player.

-He is short but very

-good in the air.

-Two experienced players have

-joined from The New Saints.

-Matty Williams and Mike Wilde play

-the Connah's Quay today.

-If they are to challenge

-The New Saints...

-..they must come to

-places Like this and win.

-They have a very experienced

-line-up.

-The long throws from Lewis Short

-will be key to the way they play.

-Callum Morris and Matty Williams

-will shuttle in midfield.

-Michael Wilde and Les Davies are

-a potent strikeforce.

-The teams are taking to the field.

-Join us after the break for the

-first live action of the season.

-Welcome back

-to Richmond Park, Carmarthen.

-Today's live match is

-Carmarthen Town v gap Connah's Quay.

-The New Saints are obviously

-the favourites.

-Are Connah's Quay going

-to challenge them?

-Connah's Quay have played in

-Europe this summer.

-They will be ready to go.

-They finished fourth last year.

-Andy Morrison has said that they

-must concede fewer goals.

-They will build their

-season on that.

-Our referee is Dean John

-from Swansea.

-There are changes to the

-rules this season.

-The players need to show

-the officials more respect.

-I always thought if you were

-friendly with the referee...

-..you would get better decisions!

-I wonder if they have been

-practising that...

-..during the summer!

-Declan Carroll just kicked

-it over the line.

-It must be a tactic.

-Mark Aizlewood has been telling me..

-..that he's looking to play

-a passing game.

-Lee Idzi gets an early

-touch in goal.

-Liam Thomas has been fouled.

-George Horan was the tackler.

-George Horan should know that he did

-not need to jump in there.

-He is experienced enough.

-That was clever play from

-Liam Thomas.

-Kieran Lewis with the free kick.

-Dean John took out his spray can!

-The header was from Matthew Thomas.

-He has scored lots of goals in

-the preseason friendlies.

-He's not the biggest player

-but he's very strong.

-He has played his football

-at Risca previously.

-Mark Aizlewood was not looking to

-put pressure on his new player.

-He must be hoping that

-Matthew Thomas...

-..reacts to the new challenge

-in front of him...

-Declan Carroll with the

-ball forward.

-John Danby with the long ball.

-Nathan Woolfe crosses.

-Nathan Woolfe was offside.

-Les Davies showed all

-his experience there.

-I do not understand that decision

-from the assistant referee.

-The clubs want to raise the

-playing standards in the league.

-The officials must raise

-their standards too.

-Andy Morrison has made some

-drastic changes to his squad.

-He has brought in players like

-Matty Williams and Mike Wilde.

-Andy Morrison said he was

-aiming for the top six...

-..but believe me, he will

-want to win the league.

-Nathan Woolfe's cross was blocked.

-Nathan Woolfe only needs

-half a yard.

-This will be a long throw.

-There was half a chance

-for George Horan.

-The big men were up from the

-back to create the chance.

-Michael Wilde was in a better

-position than George Horan.

-He should have called for the ball.

-That was a great save from Lee Idzi.

-He did not have much time to react.

-Lee Idzi has played 64 consecutive

-matches for Carmarthen town.

-He was ever present last season.

-Dwaine Bailey came across

-to clear the ball.

-That was not a very convincing

-header from the defender.

-He needed a new partner last season

-and Lee Surman has been brought in.

-This is the first corner

-of the match.

-Daniel Sheehan headed clear

-for Carmarthen Town.

-I was worried that Carmarthen Town

-would be vulnerable to set pieces.

-They do not have many tall players.

-That was easy for John Danby.

-Both teams have had chances already.

-The game has been played

-at a high tempo.

-It usually takes about five matches

-to get into the swing of things.

-These two teams have started

-at a canter today.

-You knew that teams managed by

-Andy Morrison and Mark Aizlewood...

-..would be very competitive.

-They will compete for every ball.

-Les Davies was offside.

-Strikers need to time their runs

-to coincide with the pass.

-I'd be very frustrated to time my

-run and then be caught offside.

-These teams

-met three times last season.

-Carmarthen Town

-won the corresponding fixture.

-Connah's Quay

-won the home fixture 4-0.

-Andy Morrison

-is a very brave manager.

-He will be happy to change

-things if it's not working.

-His squad means that he can make

-like-for-like changes...

-..during the match.

-Mark Aizlewood says that his team

-are very fit this season.

-The team have a nice balance.

-They have experienced players

-and a few youngsters too.

-It is interesting to see Carmarthen

-playing with two small strikers.

-Matthew Thomas is making his

-Welsh Premier League debut today.

-Les Davies is a handful

-for any defence.

-Mike Wilde and Les Davies are an

-interesting striking partnership.

-You do not very often see two big

-strikers playing together.

-Nathan Woolfe with a cross.

-The ball came off Lee Surman.

-Nathan Woolfe showed his speed

-and great skills here.

-He nearly found Mike Wilde

-at the near post.

-Michael Wilde only needs

-half a yard.

-He found it there but

-could not score.

-Andy Morrison was not

-happy with that.

-He was having words with

-Wes Baynes after that corner.

-37% of the goals in the league

-come from set pieces.

-There was a foul on

-James Owen in midfield.

-George Horan and Ian Kearney have

-moved up from the back.

-Andy Morrison has selected

-Les Davies today...

-..because of the weakness he has

-seen in the Carmarthen defence.

-He has seen that Carmarthen

-defenders are not that tall.

-Both teams are very physical.

-Mike Wilde is quicker than Lee

-Surman but not stronger than him.

-That was clever play

-from Michael Wilde.

-He made sure that Lee Surman had to

-head it out for a throw-in.

-Was there handball there?

-Connah's Quay are

-hinting that there was.

-That could have been quite a first

-touch for Matty Williams.

-The overhead kick

-didn't quite come off.

-No foul by Lee Idzi says

-the referee.

-These are worrying times for

-Carmarthen Town.

-Carmarthen escaped.

-I thought Michael Wilde would have

-done better with that chance.

-That was a good save by Lee Idzi.

-I do not think it was a penalty.

-Mike Wilde could not get his feet in

-the right position for the shot.

-That was a good decision from

-referee Dean John.

-Connah's Quay are starting to

-dominate the game.

-They are starting to put

-Carmarthen under pressure.

-Carmarthen will find it difficult...

-..to defend the long throws and

-free kicks from Connah's Quay.

-I would ask Dwaine Bailey...

-..to try and clear up the

-field and not into touch.

-Kicking the ball on the touchline...

-..just gives Connah's Quay a chance

-to put them under more pressure.

-GAP Connah's Quay are starting to

-bully Carmarthen Town.

-Matty Williams with the shot.

-I was expecting to see that in

-the back of the net.

-That was the best chance for

-Connah's Quay so far.

-He could have waited for the ball to

-fall and make it easier for himself.

-It is still scoreless

-after 19 minutes.

-That was a foul by Callum Morris.

-This is a chance for Carmarthen

-to get a second wind.

-You could have argued...

-..that the referee could have

-booked him for that tackle.

-It is important that Connah's Quay..

-..have midfield players to support

-Les Davies and Michael Wilde.

-The possession statistics

-says it all.

-It has been dominated by

-Connah's Quay so far.

-Carmarthen Town are

-still in the match.

-They have resisted despite the

-domination of Connah's Quay.

-That was a late tackle by

-Lee Surman.

-Carmarthen have been

-awarded a free kick...

-..but that was very late and

-high from Lee Surman.

-The Connah's Quay player

-is still down.

-It is Michael Wilde.

-He has stayed down and

-he's not moving.

-Some of the older experienced

-players...

-..will tackle the man even though

-the whistle has been blown.

-Kevin Ratcliffe used to do

-that in his playing days.

-Lee Surman has been

-booked for that tackle.

-I don't know why he's complaining.

-That was late.

-Some players do that on

-purpose sometimes.

-The referee has not

-reversed the free kick.

-Carmarthen had already been

-awarded the free kick...

-..when Lee Surman went

-through on Mike Wilde.

-Mike Wilde has stayed on the field.

-Under the old rules, he would have

-had to leave the field...

-..and wait for permission to return.

-I agree with that.

-The old rule punished the team

-that had the free kick.

-Mike Wilde with the header.

-He looks perfectly fit now.

-Declan Carroll was denied

-any time on the ball.

-Mike Wilde knows there is

-plenty of time...

-..to get his own back on Lee Surman.

-The header from George Horan...

-..was cleared by Dave Vincent.

-The Connah's Quay players

-are running in...

-..in a straight line.

-They need to use a bit

-more variation.

-Kieran Lewis was looking for help.

-Lewis Harling put his shoulder

-into the player's back.

-That was a definite shove.

-We have disagreed for the

-first time this season!

-George Horan with the chance.

-Great defensive work by

-Carmarthen Town.

-It was a combination of

-Lee Surman and Kieran Lewis.

-George Horan should have

-taken that on the volley.

-Lee Idzi came out for that ball.

-Callum Morris with the cross.

-The header was from Matty Williams.

-He miss-timed his run.

-He got under that a bit.

-We haven't seen much of

-Declan Carroll so far.

-Carmarthen give away

-another free kick.

-I will start to sing Oh Carol!

-The second line is I'm

-in love with you!

-That was a waste of a free kick.

-Ian Kearney had made his run.

-Two players had blocked defenders.

-Wes Baynes should have done better.

-Ian Kearney was free at

-the far post.

-We have only had one shot

-on target so far.

-Good skills from Declan Carroll.

-Kieran Lewis is looking for

-the run of Lewis Harling.

-Declan Carroll can beat several men

-..but I always look for

-the final product.

-He has to produce something

-from play like that.

-He has plenty of skills but he

-must have An End Product.

-That was a foul on the

-Matthew Thomas by Ian Kearney.

-The free kick has been given.

-Mark Aizlewood is already

-speaking to the officials.

-It's going to be a long season.

-You expect Mark Aizlewood to

-be complaining.

-That was a lovely touch by

-Matty Williams.

-Nathan Woolfe couldn't get the ball

-down the left-hand channel.

-That was a good touch by

-Ceri Morgan.

-Connah's Quay have won the throw in.

-Les Davies has started this

-game in the league.

-He wasn't in the starting line-up

-for the European matches.

-Connah's Quay have a selection of

-forwards to pick from.

-I'm sure we will see them

-all during the season.

-That was a good cross by Wes Baynes.

-Lee Idzi collects the ball

-under his crossbar.

-Connah's Quay aren't taking

-advantage...

-..of their dominance in possession.

-Ceri Morgan almost gave away a

-very foolish penalty.

-Defenders should never go to ground

-when they don't absolutely have to.

-Callum Morris and Matty Williams

-are dominating midfield...

-..for Connah's Quay.

-This will be another

-cross into the box.

-The ball hit the upright.

-George Horan has been

-penalised for a foul.

-That was a preprepared move.

-It was a cross that was

-aimed at George Horan.

-I think the previous foul was very

-close to being a penalty.

-George Horan would have

-to take the blame...

-..for being offside from that cross.

-The kick was being taken 50

-metres further back.

-George Horan came from a

-wider position there.

-That's what Andy Morrison wanted.

-Andy Morrison wanted him

-to run a loop.

-That is the way of beating

-the offside trap.

-George Horan has come off to

-get some attention.

-He has limped back onto the pitch.

-Andy Morrison got a touch

-onto the ball there.

-He fooled us.

-We've seen very little from

-Carmarthen in attack this afternoon.

-They are doing better than they did

-at the beginning of last season.

-They were beaten 5-1 by Airbus UK.

-Dwaine Bailey is a good player.

-He should have cleared

-that ball up the field.

-He conceded a dangerous

-throw-in instead.

-We have 9 minutes to go

-until half-time.

-Connah's Quay went for

-the short one.

-Wes Baynes with a powerful shot.

-He was very close.

-He scored the goal that qualified

-them for Europe last season.

-He was trying to curl it with the

-outside of his right foot.

-The goalkeeper watched

-it just go wide.

-Les Davies had two men in

-attendance.

-That's a terrific throw

-by Lewis Short.

-Nathan Woolfe could not match

-it with a good cross.

-Let's join Gwennan Harries

-on the touchline.

-There has only been one team

-in this game so far.

-Connah's Quay have created

-a lot of trouble...

-..from throw-ins and corners.

-I think Carmarthen Town are lucky to

-still have 11 men on the pitch.

-Liam Thomas was adjudged

-to be offside.

-Once again, the striker wasn't aware

-of the situation around him.

-He shouldn't be caught

-offside there.

-It Was very close actually.

-I remember a time...

-..when the attacking player was

-given the benefit of the doubt.

-Do you think Carmarthen Town

-should be concentrating...

-..on route one football?

-They don't seem to have many

-options on the flanks.

-They need to be looking to win the

-second ball from the long balls.

-That requires courage.

-Perhaps we should be praising

-Carmarthen Town...

-..for the quality of their

-defending.

-That was good play by Kieran Lewis.

-The referee decided there wasn't any

-advantage for the home team.

-Kieran Lewis is the one man

-Carmarthen have...

-..who can carry the ball forward.

-Kyle Bassett can do that

-kind of thing too.

-He is on the bench at the moment.

-That was a late challenge

-on Matty Williams.

-Were you surprised to see Mark Jones

-on the bench for Carmarthen?

-He may not have prepared

-properly for the new season.

-Mark Aizlewood certainly

-wants him here.

-He will need to play if he is

-going to score goals.

-Sometimes players do not seem fully

-committed to the preseason training.

-They have to be punished by not

-being immediately picked.

-That was a great cross by

-Nathan Woolfe.

-Mike Wilde has been

-adjudged offside.

-Daniel Sheehan did very well.

-He didn't know that his

-man was offside.

-I do not understand how he keeps

-being caught offside.

-We think that was a bad

-decision by the linesman.

-The crosses are coming

-from 50 yards away.

-The referee's assistant has plenty

-of time to make his decision.

-John Danby was uncertain

-under the high ball.

-One mistake could give Carmarthen

-an unlikely lead here.

-They have won a corner kick.

-This is the first one of the

-match for Carmarthen Town.

-It was a good challenge

-by Matthew Thomas.

-This could be a real sucker punch.

-Matthew Thomas was caught by

-a defender's arm.

-That appeared to be an elbow.

-Let's take another look at

-this challenge.

-Had the referee seen that...

-..it might have been a

-penalty and a red card.

-I think it was a glancing blow.

-Had he caught him with an elbow, he

-wouldn't have got up so quickly.

-Mark Aizlewood will be the

-happier manager at half-time.

-He'll be delighted that they are not

-trailing after the first 45 minutes.

-He probably knew that his team

-would do a lot of defending...

-.. this afternoon.

-Carmarthen Town have managed to

-keep the chances down...

-..to more general ones.

-There haven't been many One-on-one

-scenarios.

-Connah's Quay will have one

-last chance before half-time.

-Nathan Woolfe has been allowed far

-too much room to cross the ball.

-There was a foul on

-Lewis Harling in the box.

-I think Michael Wilde was the

-man who ran across him.

-There was nothing on that.

-Lewis Harling is fine.

-He has a great engine.

-Andy Morrison will be disappointed

-that his team haven't scored.

-They haven't taken advantage

-of lots of possession.

-There is the half-time whistle.

-The visitors have had plenty of

-opportunities in the first half.

-They haven't managed to

-take any of them.

-Gwennan Harries is speaking

-to Andy Morrison.

-How disappointed are you?

-The play has been phenomenal.

-We have absolutely dominated.

-You have to take your chances.

-To be that dominant and not

-be ahead is amazing.

-I don't want to talk about referees.

-I thought there was a

-possible penalty.

-There were two or three offsides

-that were questionable.

-If they are as bad as I think they

-are I expect to get a phone call.

-Join us in two minutes.

-Welcome back

-to Richmond Park, Carmarthen.

-Our live match today is

-Carmarthen Town v gap Connah's Quay.

-This is what happened

-in the first half.

-We've had a battle on

-and off the pitch.

-Connah's Quay have

-dominated the match.

-They haven't managed to

-score a goal.

-The half-time score is

-Carmarthen 0-0 gap Connah's Quay.

-No goals to entertain

-the crowds so far.

-It's been a fiery encounter

-on and off the pitch.

-It's been very entertaining

-watching the two managers.

-Connah's Quay have had a lot of

-chances to take the lead.

-It hasn't resulted in a goal.

-Let's take a look at some

-of these chances.

-This was the best effort

-of the half.

-I would be very disappointed as

-Carmarthen manager...

-..at how slowly the defenders

-came out to challenge him.

-He had ages of time to take aim.

-That would've been goal of the

-month had he scored it.

-Wes Baynes was lectured by his

-manager to hit the target...

-..after that shot.

-Matty Williams has had two chances.

-I would have expected him to

-hit the target here.

-It was a snap shot.

-Again there was very little pressure

-from the Carmarthen players.

-Callum Morris did well to get

-the ball into the box.

-Matty Williams will be very

-disappointed with that header.

-Connah's Quay have had 11

-attempts on goal.

-There has only been one

-team in the game.

-I would be very disappointed

-as a Carmarthen player.

-They haven't created anything yet.

-Connah's Quay have been the

-first to every ball.

-Lee Surman's tackle has been the

-source of chatter on the Internet.

-That is a leg breaker.

-I think he is very lucky to

-still be on the pitch.

-Mark Aizlewood must know

-that he is lucky...

-..to still have 11 men on the field.

-How do Carmarthen get

-into this game?

-They have to win the battles for the

-ball in the air to start with.

-They have to put more pressure on

-Connah's Quay further up the field.

-They also have to stop this

-stream of crosses...

-..coming in from both flanks.

-Mark Aizlewood thinks it's like a

-wrestling match at the moment.

-Join us after the break for the

-second half of our live match...

-Subtitles

-Subtitles

-Welome back to Sgorio

-from Richmond Park, Carmarthen.

-The half-time score is

-Carmarthen 0-0 gap Connah's Quay.

-I'm joined by Mark Aizlewood

-the Carmarthen Town manager.

-Our defenders must stand firm again.

-We must keep possession.

-Our midfield must keep the ball

-and play some brave football.

-Lee Surman is a good player.

-He is a leader in defence.

-Connah's Quay won't try anything

-different in the second half.

-There is English-language

-commentary on the red button.

-Your commentators are

-Mike Davies and Malcolm Allen.

-He mentioned the WWF there!

-I've seen Mark Aizlewood do a bit

-of wrestling in his playing days.

-His team must stay firm in defence..

-..but do something

-different in attack.

-Carmarthen Town are lucky to be

-level at half-time.

-I expect it to be tight for

-another 15 minutes.

-We then might see some changes

-to open up the game.

-Nick Rushton might come on

-for Connah's Quay.

-You might see the pattern of the

-game and the tactics changing too.

-There is confirmation of those teams

-at the bottom of your screen.

-There were no changes at half-time.

-It was interesting to hear

-what Andy Morrison said...

-..about the Lee Surman tackle.

-After seeing it several times...

-..we must say that it was

-a horrible tackle.

-That was not the best pass

-from Lewis Short.

-Declan Carroll won the throw-in.

-We might see a long throw

-from Dave Vincent.

-There was a foul on Les Davies

-by Dwaine Bailey.

-Les Davies stopped

-Dwaine Bailey from jumping.

-The Carmarthen strikers did not get

-many chances in the first half.

-They are not of the bigger strikers.

-They need service to their feet...

-..so that they can turn the

-Connah's Quay defenders.

-Nathan Woolfe crosses...

-..and the header by

-Callum Morris went over.

-That's why he scored so many

-goals last season.

-I think he might have been

-distracted by Dwaine Bailey.

-That was a late tackle by

-Matty Williams on Lewis Harling.

-He pretended to help him up...

-..but then let him go!

-Matty Williams has never been a

-tough tackler in midfield.

-He has 12 on his back...

-..and he 12 trophies in his

-years with The New Saints.

-He is now 33 years old.

-He's looking for more

-games in a season.

-He is a player that makes

-things happen.

-That is his strength.

-Liam Thomas has not won

-much in the air today.

-Matty Williams is a very

-clever player.

-He still has a lot to offer.

-Connah's Quay are looking for

-Mike Wilde and Les Davies...

-..and then fighting for

-the second ball.

-They are similar in

-their style of play.

-It will take them time to

-learn how to play together.

-They do not complement each other.

-Kieran Lewis has space in midfield.

-There was a foul by Ceri Morgan.

-Carmarthen were too slow in

-moving the ball around.

-You can guess what is going

-to happen next!

-The big men are back up

-from the back.

-They're there to help

-their strikers.

-Lee Idzi claims the ball.

-He did well under pressure.

-Lee Idzi showed determination

-and good hands.

-Lewis Harling did well

-to keep the ball.

-Declan Carroll turns his

-man and shoots.

-It was straight at John Danby.

-It's the first time we've seen

-Declan Carroll...

-..with the ball at his feet

-and going for gold.

-John Danby got his body

-behind the ball.

-Nathan Woolfe with a shot

-past the post for Connah's Quay.

-It was quite a strike

-from his left foot.

-Connah's Quay won the header.

-That is a difficult skill.

-He made it look very easy. He

-took it very quickly.

-The shot from Declan Carroll...

-..is only the second Carmarthen

-shot on target this afternoon.

-Carmarthen are in possession.

-I'm not sure why the referee had

-to blow for the free kick.

-Carmarthen must keep possession

-and build something.

-Connah's Quay are closing

-them down very quickly.

-Nice touch from Kieran Lewis.

-Daniel Sheehan with a

-poor first touch.

-That was an obvious foul

-by Daniel Sheehan.

-Nathan Woolfe has played very

-well this afternoon.

-Do you think that Daniel Sheehan has

-taken one for the team, Malcolm?

-He might have.

-There were still plenty of men

-behind the ball.

-Connah's Quay are preparing to

-bring on a substitute.

-Nathan Woolfe does well.

-It was a dangerous cross.

-Lee Idzi was caught in two minds.

-He came for the ball and

-then stopped.

-The header across the box was

-a dangerous one.

-Michael Wilde could not

-get on the end of it.

-That was another half chance.

-There's no-one on the end of

-Matthew Williams' pass.

-In a game like this...

-..you are looking to players like

-Nathan Woolfe to create chances.

-Nathan Woolfe has switched wings.

-He is cutting back inside

-on his left foot.

-You see that done at all

-levels these days.

-Gareth Bale does it for Wales.

-Players like to cut Inside on

-their strongest foot.

-Daniel Sheehan is not a

-natural left back either.

-Dwaine Bailey doing the simple

-things well there.

-Lee Idzi claimed the cross

-from Lewis Short.

-Carmarthen will be happier

-after the first 15 minutes.

-If they stay in this match they will

-get a chance at some point.

-They have defended well so far.

-Wes Baynes with a foul on

-Declan Carroll.

-Once more, Lee Surman and

-Dwaine Bailey have stayed back...

-..for the Carmarthen free kick.

-The second half has been

-slow to warm up.

-It might take something special...

-..to create something today.

-Michael Wilde would be one

-of those players...

-..you'd Expect to create

-something at some point.

-Mark Aizlewood will be happy with

-his team's defending.

-He is full of ideas and tactics.

-He has been preparing

-for this match.

-The Carmarthen midfield has

-been very competitive.

-Lewis Harling was

-outnumbered in midfield.

-There was a push by Les Davies

-on Dwaine Bailey.

-Dwaine Bailey

-came from the lower leagues.

-He played for Cromwell

-in South-east Wales.

-Mark Aizlewood has spotted

-his potential.

-He has brought in Lee Surman to be

-his partner this season.

-He knew that he needed an

-experienced defender next to him.

-There have been too many free

-kicks in this second half.

-Teams are quite happy with

-scrappy games at times.

-It only needs a moment

-to change a match.

-It's very very competitive

-in midfield.

-Kieran Lewis almost found

-Liam Thomas.

-I thought that Liam Thomas

-might be offside.

-The assistant referee

-kept his flag down...

-..for the first time this afternoon!

-Les Davies has won a free kick for

-this team in a promising position.

-Wes Baynes And Nathan Woolfe

-were over The Ball.

-That was too Close To The

-goalkeeper.

-He was in two minds with

-that free kick.

-Dwaine Bailey isn't very happy

-with the ball at his feet.

-He took the simple option there.

-James Owen switches the

-direction of play.

-Once more that was too

-close to Lee Idzi.

-Liam Thomas was through.

-Was that a foul?

-It's A Red Card!

-George Horan has been sent off.

-No it is Kearney who has

-been shown the red card.

-Both central defenders looked as if

-I think it was Kearney

-who tripped him.

-I Think he held him back and

-then stepped on his heel.

-It was a goalscoring opportunity.

-That was why it was a red card.

-Kieran Lewis with a free kick.

-John Danby saved well.

-There wasn't enough

-Power In That Shot.

-The Goalkeeper Had plenty

-of time to get across.

-Connah's Quay will roll up

-their sleeves...

-..and start battling

-with 10 men now.

-That's the scene in the

-dressing room.

-Ian Kearney looks a very lonely man.

-As a central defender...

-..you cannot afford to let the ball

-bounce from a long kick like that.

-He let it bounce and it

-Went over him.

-Liam Thomas' speed was always

-going to come out on top.

-Connah's Quay are preparing to

-send on the substitute.

-The original plan was to

-bring on Ashley Ruane.

-That plan has now changed.

-Liam Thomas is onside.

-The chance has gone.

-Connah's Quay are happy

-to clear the ball.

-That ball should have been

-played into Mike Wilde.

-He would hold the ball up very well.

-Lewis Harling skies the

-ball over the bar.

-John Disney is coming

-onto the field.

-He is replacing Nathan Woolfe.

-It's a defender for a striker.

-Carmarthen will be delighted to see

-Nathan Woolfe coming off.

-Matthew Thomas comes to the end of

-his debut for Carmarthen.

-The Carmarthen leading goalscorer

-from last season has come on.

-Mark Jones scored 14 goals.

-There is a change in formation

-for Gap Connah's Quay.

-They will stay with two

-men up front now.

-You can see that Carmarthen Town

-are much more confident...

-..since that red card.

-Mark Jones starts with a foul.

-That was a very foolish challenge.

-Wes Baynes was going nowhere.

-Carmarthen Town need to concentrate

-on doing the simple things properly.

-That may be enough to win this game.

-Daniel Sheehan with the skyscraper.

-Mike Wilde couldn't keep

-the ball in play.

-Do you think both managers would

-be happy with a point?

-Mark Aizlewood will want 3

-points from this position.

-The ball is in the air for

-quite a long time.

-Declan Carroll has won the throw-in.

-Andy Morrison has done well with his

-team's defence since he took over.

-Mike Wilde and Les Davies are

-very similar players.

-I think Connah's Quay need someone

-who can mix up the play.

-They need someone who can

-dribble with the ball.

-Andy Morrison may be keeping

-both on the field...

-..for dead ball situations.

-That was George Horan up

-from the back.

-George Horan has been more

-effective in attack...

-..than his strikers this afternoon.

-Andy Morrison is obviously still

-chasing all three points.

-He is still allowing his centre back

-to go forward for set pieces.

-Lewis Short has a chance to show his

-skills in attack for once.

-Les Davies isn't cut out to

-be out on the flank.

-He looks quite tired at the moment.

-I think Connah's Quay depend too

-much on set pieces.

-It was a good headed

-clearance by Liam Thomas.

-Somehow Carmarthen Town managed to

-scramble the ball away.

-I want to see Connah's Quay showing

-a bit more imagination than this.

-That was good work by Dwaine Bailey.

-He cut the ball out at

-the near post.

-Nathan Woolfe was the man who might

-have done something creative.

-Andy Morrison has taken

-him off the pitch.

-Every team in the league will expect

-Connah's Quay to play like this.

-Any point away from home

-is valuable.

-Especially early in the season.

-I think Andy Morrison will be

-disappointed...

-..with just a point today.

-He may settle for it after

-having a man sent off.

-Andy Morrison has been screaming and

-shouting on the touchline.

-We've seen all kinds of

-gestures and signals.

-The players love the

-training sessions...

-..he has brought to Connah's Quay.

-Some of them think it's better than

-..English premiership

-training sessions.

-Carmarthen Town are going to make

-another substitution.

-Declan Carroll will be

-replaced by Kyle Bassett.

-Declan Carroll has represented

-Haverfordwest and Aberystwyth...

-..in this league.

-He has now played his first

-game for Carmarthen Town.

-This hasn't been his most

-spectacular performance.

-Carmarthen Town will get better than

-that from him during the season.

-Kyle Bassett is like a

-speedboat without a pilot.

-He is a great threat and you don't

-know what he's going to do.

-Ian Kearney has been sent off

-for a foul on Liam Thomas.

-Connah's Quay are down to 10 men.

-Connah's Quay are going to

-stick to their tactics...

-..of trying to steal a

-goal from a set piece.

-I think I am picking up intimations

-..that Andy Morrison is starting

-to settle for a draw here.

-He is signalling for his players

-to slow the game down.

-We have to remember...

-..he is gambling on keeping Mike

-Wilde and Les Davies on the pitch.

-Do you think we will get a goal?

-I want everybody to keep watching...

-..so I'm predicting five late goals!

-It's not really what I think.

-That was an ambitious pass.

-It was just too long.

-Connah's Quay will be very stubborn.

-They will force Carmarthen to

-produce something special.

-Newtown have drawn with

-Bala Town today.

-That game was goalless.

-Neil Mitchell missed a penalty.

-None of these teams want to lose

-their opening matches.

-There are nearly 500 people here

-watching this game.

-The board will be

-delighted with that.

-Carmarthen Town have made an

-effort to attract people...

-..at the beginning of the season.

-Mike Wilde has been

-penalised for a push.

-That was a good quality cross.

-Lee Surman did well to

-get there first.

-Connah's Quay haven't won on the

-opening day of the season...

-..since 2013.

-That was a good pass by Ceri Morgan.

-Mark Jones has been caught offside.

-The defensive line has to

-move as an unit...

-..to force the offside trap.

-Andy Morrison is thinking about

-bringing on another striker.

-That was another good

-header by Lee Surman.

-Matty Williams and Les Davies

-combined to retain possession.

-That was a terrific run

-by Lewis Short.

-There was no one there to

-take advantage.

-Kyle Bassett went on a

-scorching run down the pitch.

-It was nearly very good indeed.

-Ashley Ruane is about to

-come onto the pitch.

-Jermaine Defoe has equalised

-for Sunderland.

-Swansea City beat

-Burnley earlier today.

-Michael Wilde has come

-off the pitch.

-Les Davies will play the

-whole match.

-He will be expected to win all

-be headers from now on.

-Andy Morrison could have taken

-either Les Davies or Mike Wilde off.

-There wasn't much to

-choose between them.

-We are expecting some

-three minutes of added time.

-Les Davies has the ball.

-Lee Surman poked it into touch.

-This will be another chance

-for Connah's Quay...

-..to launch a set piece move.

-Carmarthen get the ball clear

-with a couple of headers.

-That was excellent work

-by Kyle Bassett.

-That will lift his team for

-the final five minutes.

-Jordan Knott is about to

-come onto the field.

-He will slot into Dave Vincent's

-position easily.

-It's a like-for-like substitution.

-Mark Jones nearly scored

-a famous goal.

-It was a powerful physical run.

-He couldn't find the finish.

-None of the Connah's Quay players...

-..wanted to risk

-tackling him in the box.

-It was the right idea by

-the striker.

-Matty Williams may have done just

-enough to put him off.

-Lee Idzi volleys the ball upfield.

-There will be three minutes

-of added time.

-Bangor City won their

-match last night.

-Newtown and Bala Town

-shared the honours this afternoon.

-That was a neat piece of

-play by Kieran Lewis.

-That was an unnecessary late

-challenge by Callum Morris.

-That was a ridiculous challenge at

-this point in the match.

-It wasn't as bad as the

-one by Lee Surman.

-Connah's Quay are defending 5 metres

-outside their penalty box.

-This is a very high line.

-Dwaine Bailey with the header.

-Who is your man of the match?

-Dwaine Bailey is my man

-of the match.

-He has looked very good with

-Lee Surman lining up next to him.

-He has positioned himself

-superbly throughout the game.

-A clean sheet against Connah's Quay

-would be a feather in his cap.

-He has kept Les Davies

-quiet this afternoon.

-The flag is up for

-offside once again.

-There is the final whistle.

-It may not have been the best

-game we have ever seen.

-There is quite a lot to talk about.

-The visitors have dominated

-possession.

-Are you satisfied with the point?

-We have dominated the game.

-They are a decent,

-organised, fit team.

-There were a few sloppy things

-with the ball at our feet.

-I'm happy with that at the end.

-I don't know about the red card.

-I'll have to look at it again.

-I didn't think it was a red card...

-..because he didn't have

-control of the ball.

-Thank you, Andy.

-Here are the results from

-this weekend.

-Bangor City and Cefn Druids...

-..played out their game last night.

-Neil Mitchell missed a

-penalty for Newtown today.

-There are three games

-being played tomorrow.

-Andy Morrison thinks his team

-dominated the game.

-They certainly did until

-Ian Kearney was sent off.

-Carmarthen Town could've

-nicked a victory.

-Nobody wanted to lose the

-opening game of the season.

-Neither team really wanted to

-commit too much to attack.

-All goalkeepers and defenders

-like nil nil draws.

-Nicky John is speaking

-to the centre backs.

-It was hard at times.

-We would have liked a goal.

-It was your first match as captain.

-I really enjoyed it.

-We could've gone for

-another 20 minutes.

-It's a pleasure to be part

-of the training.

-I half pulled out of that challenge.

-I think it looked a bit

-worse than it was.

-Was it a good point?

-It is a good point but they did

-have a player sent off.

-We are happy with a point.

-Congratulations on being

-named man of the match.

-Mark Aizlewood will be delighted

-with a clean sheet.

-What about the red card in

-the second half?

-Central defenders should never

-allow the ball to bounce.

-The minute the striker was

-in front of him...

-..it was inevitable that

-he would be sent off.

-The striker was in on goal.

-It had to be a red card.

-Andy Morrison will be furious that

-he allowed the ball to bounce.

-There is a change in the

-rules this season.

-Had he made that challenge

-in the box...

-..and a penalty had been given...

-..he would only have been

-yellow carded.

-This was the best chance

-for Carmarthen.

-Mark Jones was trying to curl the

-ball into the top corner.

-It looks as if Carmarthen Town have

-strengthened over the summer.

-Lee Surman was very keen to

-emphasise...

-..how fit they are this season.

-It is a good point for them.

-Nathan Woolfe created some chances.

-There wasn't quite enough

-from Connah's Quay.

-Nathan Woolfe likes the

-ball at his feet.

-He didn't really have enough

-opportunities to make a difference.

-Connah's Quay need to create

-more chances for him.

-He was the man who looked as if...

-..he might be able to

-unpick this defence.

-These two managers...

-..will certainly keep their players

-busy this season.

-From the pitch-side utterances today

-..they will be very keen to

-keep their players...

-..alive and kicking.

-That will be a huge boost

-for Swansea City.

-They need to bring in a defender

-having lost Ashley Williams.

-Manchester City have just

-scored a second goal.

-Sunderland have scored an own goal.

-I expect Manchester City to be

-challenging this season.

-The manager has already dropped

-the English goalkeeper.

-I think it's going to be a very

-exciting season...

-..in the Welsh Premier League.
