Saturday 26th January 2008 W-P report

Bangor City 1- Seargeant 9
Aberystwyth Town 0

A single strike was the determining factor in Bangor City gaining all 3 points on a blustery windy day on the northern coast: Chris Seargeant’s well executed free-kick from 20 yards beat David Jones to his bottom right with 9 minutes gone.

Aber, however, were not content in giving up the points so easily and pegged City back for the majority of the game, although lacking in their finishing touch. Rob Evans was particularly lively going forward and came close mid-way through the second half with a left-footed shot just over the crossbar, following a mazy dribble into the penalty area. Tiago De Silva also tested the City goalkeeper with a header shortly after his introduction on 75 minutes, which forced an excellent reaction-save.

Aber too though could count themselves lucky; Ashley Scott should have actually doubled Bangor’s lead, and Lee Webber hit the upright with a powerful header after excellent counter-attacking play.

The two teams meet again in the Welsh Cup 4th Round on Saturday, with Aber hoping to take revenge for Bangor’s spoils.
