Abergele have fourth NWCFA Junior Cup success in sights after reaching final with win at Bow

NWCFA JUNIOR CUP SEMI-FINAL

Bow FC 0
Abergele 3 (Holland, Hoult 2)

Three-time NWCFA Junior Cup winners Abergele will target a fourth success in the competition when they meet Llandudno Amateurs in the 2022-23 final.

Saturday saw the North Wales Coast East Division One leaders advance to a second final of the season with a 3-0 triumph at Bastion Gardens, Prestatyn.

Opponents Bow, performing so well in their debut season, put up a great battle against their fellow Division One foes, but in the end it was Gele who advanced.

In the final, Abergele will take on Llandudno Amateurs, whom they knocked out of the REM Jones Cup 3-1 seven days earlier.

Gele started well and had a few half chances, but the deadlock was broken after clever play between Jack Hoult and Liam Roberts was finished off by Dom Holland with a glancing header into the far top corner.

Shortly before the interval Bow keeper Richard Hillier-Evans saved a penalty to keep his side in the tie.

The second half was more of the same with Abergele in control. Shortly before the hour mark, Hoult was fouled in the box and fired home from the spot to make it 2-0 to Abergele.

Minutes later, Dom Holland latched on to a loose ball and played in Hoult who scored to make it 3-0 with his 16th goal of the season.

Abergele saw out the remainder of the game and secured a clean sheet for the ever reliable Cain Folly.
