Cymru C 1-0 England C: Bradley stunner fires Wales to glory

Cymru C

SION BRADLEY’S gorgeous free-kick fired to the inaugural Anthony Hughes Trophy.

Mark Jones’ side, made up of players from the JD Cymru Premier, lifted the special cup named in memory of the late chairman, who had served for many years.

Bradley fired in on the stroke of half time and ‘s Three Lions, featuring 15 new caps in the 16-man squad, couldn’t find an equaliser in Llanelli.

England, who finished with three Step 2 players on the pitch, twice went close through striker Ollie Pearce in the latter stages.

The hot-shot’s second opening in stoppage time looked certain to end up in the net only for Wales keeper Kelland Absalom to make a brilliant low save to push the ball behind for a corner.

Dagenham keeper Elliot Justham was called into action early on, saving low to hold Lee Jenkins’ downward header.

Callum Maycock had a great chance for England soon after when the ball fell to him in the area but his drive was denied by an excellent low block from defender Emlyn Lewis.

Bradley was a real threat for Wales, cutting in from the left to force Justham into a diving save.

The game’s key moment came at the end of the first half after captain Chris Bush was penalised for a tackle outside of the box.

And Bradley whipped a strike into the top corner that ultimately won the game and avenged last year’s 1-0 defeat at .

It takes Jones’ side level with England’s two wins in the annual series, with just one draw from their five games so far.
