This means that the Bluebirds currently sit in 8th position with 20 points - two ahead of Aber having played a game more. There will be plenty of Christmas reunions happening on Friday night with former Seasiders Ricky Watts and Elliot Scotcher joined at Bridge Meadow this season by Academy graduate Lee Jenkins, who was a member of Bari Morgan’s Development League-winning U19 team before progressing to the first team and playing over 70 matches, captaining the club on a number of occasions, and Jamie Veale, who spent the last two years at Park Avenue and netted a number of memorable goals in Black and Green. The Bluebirds are also now managed by former Aber gaffer Tony Pennock, who had a brief spell at the Park Avenue helm in 2017 alongside Wayne Jones; memorably helping the club secure Cymru Premier status, before departing for a coaching role at Hull City.
Alex Darlington came on to try and unlock the County defence and had a shot blocked after some trickery almost immediately. Jack Thorn then picked out Darlington at the back post, and his low shot somehow contrived to stay out by rebounding off Lee Idzi for an agonising let off for County. Lewis had a chip into the box caught by Idzi, as Aber pressed again, but the hosts were threatening too as sub Elliott Dugan again tested Webb’s hands in a break through. Then with just five minutes to go and the game hanging in the balance, Jordan Davies found space down the right wing to cross for Fawcett to tap home a third, and the contest was settled.
After a corner the ball feel to the industrious Iwan Lewis, and his low volley was touched in by Bradford, who scored at the Bridge Meadow for the second season running. Steff Davies then had a shot blocked, Horwood had another free kick gathered by Idzi and the teams went in at 2-1. Jordan Davies lobbed over a few seconds into the second half, then Arnison did the same after good work from Niall Flint. Lewis then sent a volley wide, and more promising crosses came from Phillips and Jonathan Evans, with Aber passing the ball around nicely and looking good for an equaliser. Sam Litchfield and Louis Bradford were looking strong at the back when Haverfordwest counter attacked, and Webb punched clear a cross from Wilson.
Join us in Pembrokeshire for what promises to be a Christmas Cracker!! JD Cymru PremierFriday 20th DecemberConnah’s Quay Nomads 3 Aberystwyth Town 0Two late goals put an unflattering gloss on what was otherwise a decent competitive performance by Aber Town, who eventually went down by three goals to nil away to Connahs Quay on a wintry night on Deeside. Onetime Black and Green hero Harry Franklin headed Nomads into the lead on 7 minutes, and Aber thereafter competed extremely well, before two very late strikes by Michael Wilde (90 and 90+3 minutes) changed the scoreline significantly in Quay’s favour. Aber’s on loan keeper Lewis Webb made a welcome return to the starting XI after a two month injury absence but after early territorial pressure from the visitors Webb was picking the ball out of the back of the net when Franklin nodded home Danny Holmes’ right wing cross for one nil. Charley Edge, then Louis Bradford both cleared George Horan efforts off the line in the same attack to keep Aber in it, then Edge then crossed at the other end for Bradford to send a goal bound header into Andy Firth’s hands for a first real shot across the bows.
Flint volleyed over from the edge of the area, then Horan had a shot blocked from a corner for Connah’s Quay, and as the game moved into the final quarter they did once again start to press. Josh Williams saw a dangerous corner cleared, then Webb denied sub Mike Hayes a goal on the line, but then an Aber breakaway saw Sam Phillips just unable to connect with a through ball, and the visitors were definitely still in the game. Hayes burst through but saw his shot pushed around the post for a corner by Webb, with Town defending well and threatening on the break.
