Kerry Reserves seal league title and look ahead to promotion
KERRY Reserves clinched the JT Hughes Montgomeryshire League title with an 8-0 thrashing of derby rivals Abermule Reserves on Friday night. Ben Davies led the rout with a hat-trick with goals from Jack Carroll, Daryl McWatt, Rhys Humphreys, Cenwyn Bloor-Jones and Liam Williams ensuring the trophy for the Lambs and a miserable end of season for the 10 man hosts. Manager Aaron Leary said: "It's been a great season overall, the lads have gave it their all this season and to win the double is a fantastic achievement. "They're a great bunch of lads and I couldn't be more proud of them, they've made my first season back into management really easy. "Also credit to Forden Reserves for pushing us all the way. "I got pretty nervous that last couple of weeks with the results they were getting but good to see two young squads doing so well in the league. "We'll take a break now for a month or so, hopefully bring in a couple of new faces and then back to it to prepare for a bigger challenge in tier four next season."
