Spotlight on five players who have starred over the weekend in the Welsh Premier league.
Matthew Turner – Haverfordwest County
The 18-year-old goalkeeper joined Haverfordwest on loan from Leeds United last month. He produced a superb save to deny the hosts in the 80th minute with Rob Hughes firing a shot from just outside the box. A fine performance and a clean sheet on his league debut for the Bluebirds!
Sean Smith – Bala Town
There was a goal-fest on Maes Tegid Saturday as Sean Smith starred for Bala Town, scoring the second and creating the fifth as Colin Caton’s team secured a comfortable 5-2 win over Aberystwyth.
Bala Town took the lead before the break – Ramsay with the long ball, Will Evans’ header and Smith with a cool finish to score his first league goal since December 2018.
Chris Venables then hit twice before Smith’ cross towards the penalty spot found the head of Raul Correia who guided his header into the bottom corner.
Priestley Farquharson – Connah’s Quay
As well as netting twice against the Cofis midweek, Priestley Farquharson scored again on Saturday.
Highlighting his versatility, the young centre back showed his strikers instinct as he drew the Nomads level in the 77th minute. He continued to create havoc in Met’s penalty area – his strength and presence lead to Craig Curran’s winner with just 2 minutes left on the clock.
Holly Hughes – Cascade
Holly Hughes scored her first goal for Cascade on Saturday – brilliant play from Abbie Davies and Hughes finding the back of the net to bring the score level. Hughes was again in the thick of the action, deflecting Aberystwyth defenders before crossing to Sophie Hamer in the penalty area who slotted home to claim their first ever league win.
Louis Robles – The New Saints
The New Saints’ unbeaten run continues! Scoring four past Pen-y-bont at the SDM Glass Stadium on Saturday.
Louis Robles gave the visitors an early lead, scoring twice after just 15 minutes and coming close to netting a third before the break.
The visitors went further ahead with Greg Draper netting two at the start of the second half to secure another emphatic league win for the Saints.

Matthew Turner – Hwlffordd
Fe ymunodd y golwr 18-oed â Hwlffordd ar fenthyg o Leeds United fis diwethaf. Fe wnaeth sawl arbediad o safon i nadu’r Fflint ar Gae’r Castell brynhawn Sadwrn.
Llwyddod i atal ergyd o bell gan Rob Hughes i gadw’r ymwelyr ar y blaen wedi 88 munud. Llechen lân a buddugoliaeth ar ymddangosiad
cyntaf campus i’r gwr o Lanelli.
Sean Smith – Y Bala
Roedd gwledd o goliau ar Faes Tegid nos Sadwrn! Serennodd Sean Smith i’r Bala, yn sgorio’r ail ac yn creu’r bumed wrth i dîm Colin Caton sicrhau buddugoliaeth gymharol gyffyrddus o 5-2 yn erbyn Aberystwyth.
Aeth Bala ar y blaen o 2-1 toc cyn yr egwyl – cic hir Ramsay, peniad Will Evans a Smith yn gorffen i sgorio ei gôl gyntaf yn y gynghrair ers Rhagfyr 2018.
Yna, Venables yn taro ddwywaith cyn i Raul Correia rwydo’r bumed gyda pheniad crefftus i’r gornel isaf o groesiad Smith.
Priestley Farquharson – Cei Connah
Yn ogystal â rhwydo ddwywaith yn erbyn y Cofis ganol wythnos, fe sgoriodd Farquharson eto brynhawn Sadwrn – peniad nerthol i unioni’r sgôr gyda chwta chwarter awr yn weddill.
Parhau i greu hafoc yng nghwrt cosbi Met wnaeth yr amddiffynnwr ifanc – ei gryfder a’i bresenoldeb yn arwain at gôl ddau funud o’r diwedd a gôl Craig Curran yn cipio’r triphwynt.
Holly Hughes – Cascade
Roedd Holly Hughes yn ddraenen yn ystlys Aberystwyth drwy gydol y gêm, yn sgorio un ac yn creu’r ail i sicrhau buddugoliaeth gyntaf erioed yn y gynghrair i ferched Caerffili.
Fe sgoriodd ei gôl gyntaf i Cascade brynhawn Sadwrn – chwarae gwych gan Abbie Davies a Hughes yn canfod cefn y rhwyd i ddod a’r gêm yn gyfartal.
Roedd yng nghanol y cyfan gyda’r ail – yn twyllo amddiffynwyr Aberystwyth cyn croesi’r bêl i Sophie Hamer yn y cwrt cosbi a’r ymwelwyr yn cipio’r triphwynt.
Louis Robles – Y Seintiau Newydd
Rhediad y Seintiau heb golli yn parhau ar ôl buddugoliaeth gyffyrddus o 0-4 ym Mhen-y-bont brynhawn Sadwrn.
Sgoriodd y blaenwr Louis Robles ddwy gôl yn gynnar yn yr hanner cyntaf, cyn dod yn agos i rwydo trydedd toc cyn yr egwyl, ond i’r bêl wibio dros y bar.
Fe aeth yr ymwelwyr ymhellach ar y blaen gyda Greg Draper yn rhwydo dwy ar ddechrau’r ail hanner.
