FOUR-GOAL salvo from Luke Bowen helped Port Talbot Town claim a first win in four in Nathaniel Car Sales Welsh League Division One with a crushing 5-1 victory over strugglers Ton Pentre at Ynys Park.

Nathan Facey netted for Ton Pentre, either side of Bowen strikes, as Port Talbot took advantage to hold a narrow 2-1 lead at half time.

Gareth Jones cancelled out Dan Jarman’s early opener but the latter struck again midway through the second half to put Undy back ahead.
