SCOTS MADE TO SUFFER AS NOMADS GO WILDE!
CONNAH’S Quay Nomads are into the third round of the IrnBru Cup after recording a famous 1-0 win at Scottish Championship club Falkirk.
The decisive moment in the game arrived a minute after the interval when Michael Wilde headed home from a Craig Jones free-kick that was enough to send Andy Morrison’s side through.
With the Nomads and leaders The New Saints not in JD Welsh Premier League action this weekend, Newtown missed the chance to go top after a 3-0 defeat against a rejuvenated Carmarthen
Town at Richmond Park. Luke Bowen opened the scoring 35 minutes into the contest and the same player doubled their advantage two minutes past the hour mark.
Liam Thomas, so influential in Carmarthen’s first win of the season over Cardiff Metropolitan University last weekend, then added a third on 76 minutes to wrap up the points. That defeat for Newtown allowed Bala Town to move above them into third after their 3-1 win over ten-man
Llanelli Town at Maes Tegid. Steve Tames scored twice for Bala with Nathan Burke also on target. Chris Jones replied for Llanelli who also had Scott Tancock sent off for two yellows.
Llandudno recorded their first victory of the season at the fifth attempt as they defeated Barry
Town United 2-0 at Maesdu Park. Leo Smith and John Owen got the goals for Llandudno. There is one game today as
Cardiff Met host Cefn Druids. Holders Trefelin BGC are safely through to round three of the Nathaniel Car Sales League Cup after a 2-1 win at Dinas
Powys. They had to do it the hard way after falling behind to an Isaac Morrison opener for Dinas Powys, but hit back with a brace from hitman Damon Thomas.
Meanwhile ex-Swansea City hero Lee Trundle got his name on the scoresheet yet again for
Haverfordwest County as they edged Bridgend Street 5-4 after extra-time in an epic clash.
Sean Pemberton and Jack Wilson also netted while Ben Fawcett’s second goal of the game in the 111th minute was decisive.
Elsewhere Josh Graham’s hattrick inspired STM Sports to a 5-0 win over Tredegar Town. Penybont also went nap as they put Welsh League newboys
Albion Rovers to the sword by the same score. Adam Carpenter and Kane Owen scored twice with James Dixon getting the other.
Division One side Briton Ferry Llansawel needed a shootout to beat Panteg from Division Three after an enthralling match had ended 2-2.
Airbus UK Broughton continued their faultless start in the Huws Gray Alliance as they beat
Bangor City 3-2. An own goal and an Asa Hamilton effort put Airbus 2-0 up before Bangor hit back through Lee Owens and Marc Williams. But Airbus would not be denied thanks to Steve Tomassen’s winner.
