City march into fourth consecutive final
Sunday 10 April 2011
Bangor v Connah's QuayA POWER drive from Chris Jones seven minutes from time sealed a fourth consecutive Welsh Cup final appearance for Bangor City, who racked-up their 22nd successive win in the competition.
But the Huws Gray Alliance Nomads looked on course to at least force extra-time, before Jones smashed his shot into the top corner.
The scorer could have put City ahead on the half-hour mark but pulled his shot wide, while Les Davies was always a threat to the Deesiders’ hard-worked defence.
It needed a headed clearance from under the Quay crossbar by Ben Collins to deny Dave Morley's set-piece on 60 minutes while prolific Nomads' marksman Gary O’Toole barely got a look in.
Injured player-manager Mark McGregor came off the bench for the final minutes but was unable to influence the outcome.
