ROCKFIELD Rovers warmed up for Saturday’s East Gwent Fishwick Cup final with a second straight 4-0 league win in midweek.

And cup final opponents Tintern Abbey were also on fire, winning 6-2 at home to Portskewett & Sudbrook on Wednesday night, who had been beaten by Rovers at the weekend.

Rovers’ midweek home win over Caldicot Castle’s 3rd team extended the Monmouth side’s lead at the top of East Gwent 2.

Ben Wiggins put Rockfield ahead 39 minutes in for a 1-0 lead at half-time.

And Rovers’ second came from Mason Hughes less than 10 minutes into the second half, when his looping effort wasn’t dealt with by the Castle keeper,

Tommy Tynan got in on the act after an audacious ball over the top from Ryan O’Keefe, which the striker dinked into the net for 3-0, before Hughes found the target again for his fourth goal in two games.

It was a statement victory league-wise, given that Castle fielded some 1st and 2nd team players.

Tintern’s win the same night came courtesy of an Ollie Moss brace and goals from Darryl Reynolds, Geraint Reynolds, Josh Phillips and Will Creswick.

And Abbey and Rovers meet in the cup final at Sudbrook CC FC this Saturday (April 4), kick-off 5pm.
