Ymatebodd y Drenewydd drwy Josh Locke (66 munud) ond aeth y triphwynt i Aber. A fantastic Friday night at Park Avenue saw the Black and Greens bounce back with a deserved three one win over Mid Wales rivals Newtown, with goals from Niall Flint (13 mins), Rico Patterson (29 mins) and irrepressible Johnny Evans (84 mins) enough to seal the deal, with a solitary response from Josh Locke (66 mins) not enough to affect the result. Despite a really poor result last week, Aber's amazing loyal supporters stood by the Seasiders, with over 400 turning out on a cold November evening, and the players rewarded them with a first half performance of vim and vigour. Patterson had a low shot saved in the first minute, then a Liam Walsh cross was gathered by Sam Ussher in the visitors goal. Locke then saw a low shot saved by home keeper Dave Jones, then John Owen won a free kick for Aber and Patterson blasted over, as Jason Oswell did at the other end. Then Flint controlled a clearance with a masterful touch, advanced on goal and unleashed a low left footed attempt which trickled under Usher for a huge opener, delighting a deafening Dias Stand. Rhys Davies sent in another dangerous corner for Aber, and then Jones at the other end had to be alert to punch clear a dangerous corner from Zeli Ishmael, after Locke had a shot blocked. Around the half hour mark Flint was fouled about 25 yards out, and Patterson stepped up to curl a sumptuous free kick into the far corner, to double the lead and have Aber in raptures, and the Dias Stand singing. Locke fired over again, but with Aber's front three pressing relentlessly and causing mistakes at the back a third for Aber looked more likely, and another Walsh cross saw Harry Arnison go close with an over head kick, and the hosts were good value for a two goal lead.
It was to be expected that Newtown came back into things and having switched from a back five to a back four they dominated possession for longer periods in the second half, with Aber grateful for solid defending from Louis Bradford and Jack Thorn in particular. Shane Sutton hit the post with an attempt across goal, then at the other end Evans was denied by Ussher's flailing leg. Callum Roberts and Locke had attempts blocked, and Oswell blasted over again, but then a corner from Ishmael was worked to Locke in the middle of the park and his low effort scrabbled under Jones for a goal which had Green hearts in mouths. Jones pulled out an amazing left handed diving save to deny Aron Williams a curler, then on the break Flint drew a cynical foul from the already booked Roberts, but the referee relented from a second card. Further dangerous corners from Ishmael were heroically repelled, and as time dragged on Aber finished strongly. Arnison fired just over, then Evans was denied by a superb save from Ussher, but in the next move Walsh went on a swashbuckling run down the right, and his cross was fumbled by Ussher to Evans, who stabbed home from close range and celebrated wildly in front an enraptured Nark's Corner. Evans tried an overhead kick from another great cross by Flint, and although the luckless Oswell headed into the side netting, and Ishmael grazed the cross bar with a deep right wing delivery, it was Aber's night and Ben Davies had the last chance for Town, firing over from midfield, and a great job was done. This was one of those fantastic Friday nights Park Avenue delivers every now and then, and the resilient hosts under Interim Boss Dave Taylor have moved off the bottom and to within a point of Flint in tenth place at the half way point of the season. Town now take a deserved rest and travel to the Capital to take on Cardiff Met in two weeks time. The recovery is back on! Comments are closed.
