MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

10 min: Corrig McGonigle’s pass finds 1876 winger Jamie Petrie, who hits a fierce shot which Ryan Roberts beats out
16 min: Jonny Taylor of 1879 makes a firm connection with a Daniel Sim corner but the ball flies straight at keeper Huw Shaw, who clings on at the second attempt
20 min – PENALTY: Jonny Taylor is clipped just inside the box, referee Gareth Webb points to the spot.
20 min – GOAL: Alex Jones’ kick saved by Shaw, but Jones follows up to smash in the rebound. RHYL 1879 1-0 BANGOR 1876 (Alex Jones)
23 min – GOAL: Liam Morris nicks the ball past the out-rushing Rhyl keeper Roberts, but looks to have been forced too wide to score. However, the 1876 No 11 stays calm, cuts inside, works the ball onto his left foot and has the space to drill in the finish. RHYL 1879 1-1 BANGOR 1876 (Liam Morris)
26 min – INJURY: 1876 keeper Huw Shaw is down for several minutes after a collision with Jonny Taylor. Eventually, Shaw is stretchered off the field and left-back Kian Owen has to take over in goal.
35 min – INJURY: This time Rhyl’s Jordan Worthington is forced off in agony, struggling to walk after an earlier knock. Aaron White replaces him.
42 min: Sion Edwards corner from left, Les Davies connects, but great block by keeper Roberts.
45 + 1: Long ball releases Macauley Taylor, but his firm low strike is well held by stand-in Kian Owen.

84 min – RED CARD: Rhyl defender Miles Todd for off the ball incident near corner flag
