Captain fantastic Charlie Jones rescued a point for Kinmel Bay with the last kick of the game.

Deep into stoppage time, Bay trailed 2-1 to the leaders, but Jones bent home a beauty for his second goal of the afternoon and the mother of all point-savers.

Steven Kirk put Y Glannau in front with a 19th minute penalty before Jones levelled for the visitors with 26 gone, Sean Sheridan with the assist.

Dan Price made it 2-1 to the table-toppers early in the second half and it looked like that would be enough to clinch the game.

The match was in its 96th minute when Bay’s Ollie Gray was red-carded.

Still, the 10 men refused to give in and Charlie Jones emerged a true hero with that late leveller

Bow FC 0 Meliden 0

Barry Roche praised his Bow team-mates’ effort against Meliden

After eight successive defeats Bow finally picked up a welcome point which lifted them off the foot of the Premier.

Having won 4-3 at Meliden earlier this season, the Prestatyn side took to the field at Bastion Gardens in a positive frame of mind.

Bow midfielder Barry Roche said after the game: “With other results going our way it’s a massive point to say the least.

“Bow have been working hard with limited numbers but the lads have been fighting and fighting is what they did untill the very last minute to see out a 0-0 draw.

“Meliden were a threat from the get go and created plenty of chances but our defence stayed solid and some top tier saves from our keeper Cain Folly kept us in the game.”

Harley Wood was impressive for the hosts and rivalled Folly for the man of the match award.

In the second half Meliden came pressing again but Bow would not fall, Folly making some brilliant saves.

In the final minute Roche lifted a great free kick into the box and Wood narrowly missed out on grabbing the goal which would have nicked a win.

Roche added: “Bow can only build on this and work on things in training. Hopefully things are on the up. Also wishing Luca Querci a speedy recovery after he suffered a nasty injury at the end of play,”
