NORTH WALES COAST FA JUNIOR CUP ROUND ONE REPORTS – SEPTEMBER 24

NFA 2 Abergele 3

Despite playing with 10 men since late in the first half, Abergele grabbed their second win of the season at Ffordd Derwen to progress to round two of the NWCFA Junior Cup.

The match started with NFA the stronger side and Gele’s task became even tougher when Liam Roberts received a straight red on 38 minutes with the scores level.

A spirited Abergele began the second half well and soon found themselves 1-0 up thanks to a Connah Atkinson goal from a Greg Hilditch long throw.

NFA levelled through Ciaran Brady and Gele had goalkeeper Cain Folly to thank when a one-on-one save kept the tie at 1-1.

Abergele again took the lead 10 minutes later via a Ben Pamment effort and it became 3-1 on the 62nd minute when Atkinson struck the ball on the half-volley at the back post.

A late goal from Liam Bowers set up a tense finish, but it was Abergele who advanced.

Gaerwen 3 Arriva 6
