Friday 12 February 2010
Elements Cefn Druids v BalaABERYSTWYTH avenged their Welsh Cup exit by climbing above visitors Port Talbot into third place with a 2-1 win at Park Avenue.
The Seasiders established a two-goal lead with a first goal from Tranmere Rovers loanee Ryan Fraughan after 20 minutes and second against his former club from Luke Bowen.
Liam McCreesh notched his ninth goal of the campaign for the Steelmen 12 minutes from time, but they were unable to force an equaliser.
A mistake from Chris Mullock gifted Bala Town a first-minute lead at Plas Kynaston when Ricky Evans made no mistake after the keeper had dropped a Danny Williams free-kick.
Jon Rush levelled for the Druids just before half-time with a contender for goal of the season from 30-yards and Mullock atoned for his earlier error by twice making triple saves in the second half.
Rush hit the bar in the second-half but Druids' efforts were to no avail as Neil Fisher snatched the winner seven minutes from time and just three minutes after coming off the bench to lift the Lakesiders into the top six.
Airbus UK Broughton were frustrated at Maesydre as they were held to a goal-less draw by lowly Technogroup Welshpool.
