The Seniors may be strggling at present but at least The Under 21's provided some light relief with a 5-1 demolition of an outclassed Luxembourg in a match played at Llanelli's new rugby ground, Parc Y Scarlets, in the U21 European Championships.
Wales got their campaign off to a poor start with a 0-0 draw in Luxembourg last Friday night, missing chances to have won at a canter despite not playing well, but they weren't to repeat their failings this evening.
Cardiff City's Darcy Blake featured and was joined by other Bluebirds with defender Aaron Morris making his debut, the promising Jon Brown up front and Neil Taylor in midfield.
The game was done and dusted as a contest with the boys 2-0 ahead inside 12 minutes, it could have been double the score by that point, and 4-0 ahead at half-time with goals through Neil Eardley from the penalty spot with Brown scoring another just 60 seconds later. King added a third befoere skipper Simon Church got another just before the break meeting a Jon Brown cross with a firm header.
Wales were guilty of dropping a gear and becoming lethargic after the interval and had a slight shock when Luxembourg pulled one back just before the hour. The football didn't get any better after that but Wilson completed the scoring 12 minutes from time.
Luxembourg will always be beaten by us but it's commendable to get a result when the number of Under 21's in the Senior Squad is in double figures. Same result for them tomorrow please! :>)
