The early stages of the game were dominated by Aber, who had a couple of corners which came to nothing. Carmarthen slowly forced their way into the game, with ex-Seasider Geraint Passmore bringing a good save from Steve Cann, and Sacha Walters hitting the side netting with a free kick. When Aber attacked, most of the play seemed to be going through Luke Sherbon, whose 25 yard shot, placed into the bottom corner, was easily saved by Mike Lewis. Aberystwyth continued to press at the end of the first half. A fantastic run by Luke Sherbon on the counter attack, found Craig Williams, who in-turn shot to the left of the keeper, but his effort was saved. Then, Ryan Marriott’s cross/shot nearly went in, after home keeper Mike Lewis fumbled the ball, but luckily for him defender Lee Bevan was on hand to clear any danger.

The second half started as the first half ended, with Aberystwyth pressing on the Carmarthen goal. Ryan Marriott’s attempted top corner finish which hit the side netting was one of the best of the chances of the game. Steve Cann though was also kept on his toes, and he reacted very well to a shot in the bottom corner by Sacha Walters. On 65 minutes Aber had a great opportunity. A free kick from Craig Williams which was dipping under the bar, brought a fantastic save from Mike Lewis and he kept the Old Gold in the game. Another free kick not long after by James McCarten, hit the post, and the Carmarthen keeper was lucky to get away with it as he had reacted poorly. Carmarthen did their best to win the game in the last 10 minutes, with Geraint Passmore again shooting to the left hand side, but the shot was saved by Cann. Aber should have won it though in the final moments, Antony Finselback played a great 50 yard pass to Ryan Marriott, who fired a low ball into the box which found an unmarked Luke Sherbon, but he couldn’t connect with the ball and the chance went begging.

Cledan, who started in Aber's first game of the season at Carmarthen a few weeks ago, will hopefully benefit from playing regular first team football at Cae Baker and the club wish him well.

The game was dominated by a strong wind, which was in Aber’s face for the first half, and to be fair to the Seasiders dealt with it reasonably well.
Town keeper Steve Cann was called into action early on, as defender Matty Woodward hit a 25 yard screamer which brought an acrobatic save from Cann. 4 minutes later and striker Carl Owen brought another tidy save from Cann, as Owen outmuscled his defender and struck a fierce shot from the edge of the box, which led to Cann having to dive low to prevent the ex Porthmadog striker. Phil Clarke also went close for Airbus with another long range effort and Andy Moran should have opened the scoring. A long kick up-field from keeper Kristian Rodgers evaded everyone and the ball fell kindly to Moran, but he couldn’t connect with the ball and the opportunity was wasted. Aber’s only real chance of the first half fell to midfielder Luke Sherbon, but his effort on the half-volley went over. On the 45 minute mark Airbus were awarded a dubious penalty. Luke Sherbon was adjudged to have brought Danny Desormeaux down in the area, and the referee pointed to the spot. Carl Owen stepped up to take it and Aber keeper Steve Cann saved the penalty and sent it out for a corner. From the resulting corner, Airbus were awarded another penalty. This time Luke Sherbon handled in the area and Airbus were awarded two penalties in the space of one-minute. It was Moran who took the penalty this time, and he made no mistake as he coolly sent Steve Cann the wrong way.

The second half started in the same vein as the first ended. Carl Owen went through one on one with Steve Cann, and the keeper pulled off a fine save to deny the striker. On 50 minutes Aber had a great chance to equalize; Lewis Codling came on for Ricky Evans at half time and he almost made an immediate impression. Codling was put through on goal, and he then rounded keeper Kristian Rodgers but it was a fine last ditch goal-line clearance from Matty Woodward that prevented the Liverpudlian from opening his Seasiders account. On 55 minutes Carl Owen finally got the goal he deserved by racing through a lacklustre Aberystwyth defence and finishing with an exquisite strike into the bottom corner. Then, on 65 minutes, Airbus got the decisive goal, and it came from captain Mark Allen. Aber failed to clear a corner and the ball fell kindly to Allen, who then hammered home from close range to guarantee that the three points would be staying in Flintshire. The Aberystwyth defence were carved open yet again on 73 minutes; it was 4 on 1 for Airbus and they really should have done better with the opportunity. Gareth Hughes was left stranded on his own as four Airbus players came charging into the box, and luckily for Aber, Ashley Williams blazed over when gifted a glorious chance. Much to Aber’s credit they kept going, and pushed defender Aneurin Thomas up front, and this seemed to pay dividends. Lewis Codling went on a weavy run and shot from the edge of the box, but a wild ricochet fell to Aneuin and he hammered his volley into the bottom corner to restore some parity to the scoreline.

Town who come off the back of a disappointing draw last Friday evening against Newtown, will look to bounce back with a win at the Airfield, although by no means will it be an easy test. The side will probably be largely unchanged, although Steff Edwards and Cledan Davies will be pushing for a place in the squad tomorrow afternoon.

Airbus, who did the double over Aber last season by winning 3-0 and 2-0 respectively, will be looking towards their potent strikeforce of Andy Moran and Carl Owen to supply the goals. Moran, who has 115 Welsh Premier League will certainly be a threat and the Aber rearguard will have to be on their toes.

Aber manager Alan Morgan has watched Airbus this season in their opening game and reckons that the Wingmakers deserved at least a point at home against Llanelli. Morgan also added that Airbus are a good side and it will be a tough game.

Bowen, who is currently a Sports Science student at UWIC, won a number of awards in his first season with Aberystwyth Reserves. He scooped the Club's Youth Team Player of the Year, and he also won the Spar Mid Wales Player of the Season award, to cap a magical start to his career.

He featured on the bench for the first team in the Loosemores Cup in 2007/08, and his first league start came a year later. The full back soon got to grips with the pace of the Welsh Premier in his wing-back role, and certainly created an impression for Town throughout the season.

The Club wish Steve all the best for the future and hope to see him back in the Welsh Premier in the not too distant future.
