Greenhalgh’s early goal sets up Bangor’s first win of year

BANGOR City Men’s hockey team began 2018 with a 3-1 home win over Timperley 4ths.

After a bright start to the match, City went in front early on when Simon Greenhalgh converted a short corner.

Bangor doubled their advantage shortly after through Graham Lorrimer after some good interplay in midfield.

However, the Altrincham-based visitors posed a threat of their own in attack and struck back before the break to reduce the arrears.

Lorrimer found the net for the second time in the second half to put City back in a more comfortable position.

Timperley forced some good saves from keeper Tudur Trenholme as they looked for a way back in, but Bangor held out for a muchneeded victory.

City will aim to continue their good start to January when they visit NWHL Division 5 South bottom side Oxton next Saturday.

Bangor City Hockey Club are always looking for players for the men’s and women’s teams, and welcome anyone - from absolute beginners to experienced players - to join the club’s training sessions.

These are held at 8pm on Tuesday evenings, at the Brailsford Centre 3G pitch (old Maes Glas), in Bangor. For more info, contact club secretary Rhian Culley on 07923369859, or visit the Bangor City Hockey Club page on Facebook.
