‘‘I feel sorry for Carmarthen,’’ admitted Inter manager George Wood. ‘‘It’s a harsh game and they didn’t deserve to lose on penalties.

‘‘I thought Carmarthen deserved to win it over the 90 minutes.’’

'So Town's European dream has been put on hold for another year but the support engendered at Merthyr will live long in the club's memory.'

 

 

'Since Carmarthen Town were elevated to the League of Wales they have done us proud. The manner of their defeat in the Welsh Cup final was such a cruel blow - to earn the sympathy vote was no consolation.'

 

'Manager Tomi Morgan, who had won the Welsh Cup with Llansantffraid on penalties three seasons ago, was left to taste the bitterness of defeat.

‘‘It is a cruel way to end it,’’ explained Morgan. ‘‘I thought we did enough in the second-half and extra-time to win it.’’'
