GOALS OF THE SEASON SO FAR

By Dave Jones on Nov 9, 08 03:35 AM

Neil Roberts - greatest goal so far?TOP 10 GOALS OF THE SEASON TO DATE
JOSH Johnson netted Rhyl's 50th goal of the season in all competitions against Caersws on Saturday.
Here is a look back at the Lilywhites' best 10 netfinders so far - in our opinion at least.

1 NEIL ROBERTS (Rhyl v Haverfordwest, Welsh Cup, November 1, 2008)
This goal belonged at a much higher level. Robbo lobbed the ball over his head with back to goal, swivelled, and in the same movement hit a stunning half-volley from all of 20 yards into the bottom corner off the post. Has he ever scored a better goal in his illustrious career?
2 JOSH JOHNSON (Airbus v Rhyl, League Cup, Sep 23, 2008)
Every left winger dreams of scoring a goal like this. Johnson chased and retrieved a ball which looked to be going out of play on the left, nutmegged two defenders, raced into the box and with everyone expecting a cross Josh drove home under the keeper.
3 CARL OWEN (Rhyl v Airbus, League Cup, Aug 19, 2008)
What a thunderbolt! Josh Johnson crossed from the left, Owen turned on a sixpence and lashed an absolute rocket in off the bar, stunning the Belle Vue crowd.
4 CHRIS ROBERTS (Airbus v Rhyl, League Cup, Sep 23, 2008)
To chip the keeper from 18 yards from a stationery position is pretty good, but to do it on the run from a moving ball with a split second to think about it is something else. A truly sublime strike from Roberts at The Airfield.
5 GARETH WILSON (Rhyl v Caersws, Welsh Premier, Nov 8, 2008)
Willo hit a much better one than this v Porthmadog in the League Cup a couple of seasons back, but taking into account he'd only been on the field a couple of minutes and let fly with a cracking low strike from about 35 yards, and the fact it broke the deadlock after a frustrating 70 minutes for Rhyl, made this one was pretty special.
6 NEIL ROBERTS (Rhyl v Llanelli, Welsh Premier, Aug 30, 2008)
A vicious volley by Robbo from outside the box gave the Llanelli keeper absolutely no chance and made it 3-1 to Rhyl during a golden spell for the Lilywhites in front of a buzzing Belle Vue.
7 GREG STONES (Rhyl v Newtown, Welsh Premier, Aug 16, 2008)
Rhyl's first goal of the season and one of their best. Stones started the move down the left, played a neat one-two with Neil Roberts and then sent a lovely left foot shot in off the far post.
8 NEIL ROBERTS (Rhyl v Llanelli, Welsh Premier, Aug 30, 2008)
A fabulous glancing header into the far corner rounded off a sweeping move at a time where Rhyl were playing the champions off the park.
9 CARL OWEN (Airbus v Rhyl, League Cup, Sep 23, 2008)
Tremendous move by the Lilywhites. Gareth Wilson won a tackle outside his own box, broke forward and sent a great ball down the left for Owen who outpaced the defence and beat the keeper with a magnificent finish from an acute angle.
10 CARL OWEN (Rhyl v Airbus, League Cup, Aug 19, 2008)
First of two on the night for Owen. Greg Stones played in a cross from the right and Owen scored with a superb diving header which gave the visiting keeper no chance.

The only ones I would add add are the Stones one at Neath which was awesome (not sure you saw it tho Dave) and Matty Williams against Haverfordwest last week which was class as well.

We have scored some brilliant ones tho this season.

You're right Jon, I didn't see the Stones goal at Neath and you're also spot on when you say Matty Williams' strike against Haverfordwest deserves a mention.
