Llanrhystud 0 vs 1 Bow Street

Llanrhystud enjoyed the best of early pressure on Saturday, playing with the first-half wind. However, it was Bow Street who broke the deadlock to take the lead after 25 minutes.

Martyn Williams turned his marker and delivered a deadly ball into the box from the left, which was met with equal venom by Stephen Harrison, forcing his diving header high into the roof of the net.

After this Bow Street shut up-shop, detemined to go into half-time with the lead. Llanrhystud, despite their increasing possession, could not break through.

The second-half saw Bow Street again getting men behind the ball, and breaking with speed on the counter-attack, to create the best chances. The best was when Tony Jones' lob sailed just over after Robbie Jones' defensive error.

Llanrhystud best chance came when an Anthony Foligno effort was cleared off the line. Llanrhystud manager Alan Foligno said: "I'm disappointed, I thought a draw would have been a fair result, especially after all our possession."

Bow Street manager Roberts commented: "This was a vital win, and a big victory away from home. Llanrhystud had the better possession, but we had the better chances and could have gone two or three up in the second-half. If they'd have equalised we really would have been kicking ourselves."
