Two out of three ain’t bad... so far!

Montgomery’s bid for a unique Spar treble remained on track last night after overcoming a stern Abermule challenge to win the inaugural E.R. Jenkins Spar Division Two Cup.

 

Montgomery went into the match as overwhelming favourites, but faced a resilient Mule side who saw their hopes of winning disappear in extra time.

 

Nicky Mumby, Steff Rowlands and Martin Lewis late on had the best Abermule chances and Mike Cockram went close for Monty.

 

But Clive McNamee’s league champions moved up a gear in the extra period with Stu Buckley-Robins heading them into the lead in the first period. Montgomery then put the game beyond Abermule with goals from Tom Evans and Tony Meredith for a 3-0 win.

 

The big treble challenge will come at 7pm on Saturday in Llanidloes when Montgomery will come against old foes Berriew in the final of the Spar Cup.
