Talbot Trounced by Six Star Swans

The second half introduction of new star-signing Lee Trundle (left) inspired Swansea City to a resounding 6-0 victory at Victoria Road against Welsh Premier team Port Talbot Town. 

The former Rhyl and Wrexham striker (pictured) scored twice in an action-packed second half to secure victory for a Swansea City side with great expectations placed upon their shoulders as they approach the new season with anticipation. Trundle’s first goal was a superbly placed shot past ‘keeper Gary Wager after out-foxing the Port Talbot centre halves, whilst his brace was completed with a thunderous drive past the hapless Blues shot-stopper.

Port Talbot had given their all in the first half, inspired by front-line leader Mark Dodds (left) who was causing all sorts of problems for the Swansea defence, but the Blues’ defence was also struggling and when Kevin Nugent netted midway through the first interval, it was all Port Talbot could do to reduce the scoreline. As it was, Marc Richards attempted that single-handedly with a weak penalty saved comfortably by Wager, but youngster Antonio Corbisero soon doubled the away side’s advantage with a simple tap-in from five yards.

The second half opened with a fully changed Swansea outfit, and Trundle soon got going with his strike partner Andrew Robinson, who also scored courtesy of a well-placed near post shot that evaded the veteran Port Talbot goalkeeper. The rout was completed ten minutes from time when Robinson’s shot was deflected into the back of the net by an opposing defender.
