Tîm Cymru lose Regions Cup opener

UEFA

A Cymru South side representing Wales in the UEFA Regions Cup were beaten 3-1 by West Slovakia in their opening group game.

Two players from Llantwit Major FC form part of Andy Hill's 18-man squad taking part in the intermediate group stages of the amateur tournament, being held in Serbia.

Major veteran Jack Lansdown started Friday morning's match in goal - and retained a first-half clean sheet as Cwmbran Celtic's Alex Bonthron took the lead from the penalty spot after 28 minutes.

Matty Kimmins came off the subs bench for his Regions Cup debut midway through the second half - but West Slovakia went onto turn the game on its head in the closing stages.

Kristian Mego equalised on 78 minutes before Roman Gaspar put them ahead on 87 minutes and Frederik Domasta added a third in the 90th minute to complete a dramatic late comeback.

Tîm Cymru's second game sees them take on a team representing the FA of Vojvodina on Monday.

Meanwhile, Llantwit Major, who are unbeaten in their last three Cymru South games, return to league action on Saturday when they play host to Ammanford.
