| City survive Carmarthen fightback |
| Saturday 20 March 2010 |
 BANGOR City survived a Carmarthen Town fightback to take the spoils in a 3-2 win at Farrar Road. In control at the break with goals from Lee Hunt, Sion Edwards and Jamie Reed, the Citizens were pegged back in the second half by Sacha Walters and Tim Hicks, but rode out the final half-hour to claim the points. City are in sixth place, five points behind Port Talbot, for whom Liam McCreesh celebrated his return from a five-match ban by scoring in the seventh-minute at home to Caersws. And the Steelmen ran out comfortable 4-0 winners for their first victory in five games, with a brace from Martin Rose and another from defender Matthew Rees, his second goal in two games. Newtown underlined their Super 12 ambitions by beating Prestatyn Town 3-2 at Latham Park in a second successive win for Darren Ryan's men. Former Robin Steve Rogers marked his return to Latham Park by scoring for the Seasiders after Gavin Cadwallader had given Newtown a fifth-minute lead. Paul Roberts restored the home advantage before Andy Moran equalised again and what proved to be the winner came in the 68th-minute when David Hayes put through his own goal. Prestatyn had Steve Hoult dismissed seven minutes from time in a game of eight yellow cards. Technogroup Welshpool put one over former manager Tomi Morgan, despite trailing 2-0 to Porthmadog away at The Traeth. Goals from Cai Jones and Chris Jones inside three minutes had given the hosts the lead soon after the break, but two goals from ex-Wrexham youngster Mark Stewart brought the Lilywhites level, before Steff Edwards snatched the winner three minutes from time. The game between Llanelli and Rhyl was postponed due to a waterlogged Stebonheath Park pitch. Photo: Jamie Reed celebrates Bangor's third goal [Colin Paxton]. |
