Llanhaeadr wasted no time in taking a sixth-minute lead through Paul Jones who chipped the goalkeeper from the left corner of the net.
The visitors were denied an equaliser in the 39th minute by a fine save by Paul Edwards. Trevor Clarke hit a seemingly goalbound angled drive which the Llanrhaeadr goalkeeper palmed away from the top-right corner of the net.
After surviving a scare soon after nine minutes after restart when Danny Stephens drove over the bar, Llanrhaeadr doubled their lead on the hour. Darren Martin’s right-wing cross was only parried by Presteigne’s goalkeeper Mark Ammonds and Aaron Poole, following up slotted the ball into an empty net from 15 yards out.
Wil Jones wrapped up the scoring in the 85th minute to complete a 3-0 win for his side. He fired home at close range after a corner wasn't cleared.
I watched the game in the company of Neil Morris and Mike Greaves.
