Bangor go Top
Bangor City moved to the top of the Principality Building Society Welsh Premier League table after beating last seasons runners up Llanelli 2-0 in front of over 600 spectators at Farrar Road.
Dave Morley put Neville Powell's side ahead from the penalty spot after just seven minutes, with Jamie Reed getting the second nine minutes before the break. This excellent result makes it three wins out of three for the Welsh Cup holders, making them the early season pacesetters, but Llanelli supporters will be concernened by the normally consistent Reds stuttering start.
Another side who have enjoyed a sound start to the League campaign, Newtown, went second , two points adrift of Bangor, courtesy of a 1-0 win over Prestatyn at Latham Park, where Paul Keddle's twelth minute goal was enough to secure the points. There afternoon was, however, spoilt somewhat when Michael Jackson was sent off in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Airbus UK Broughton lost their first game of the season at home to Llanelli, but they were back at The Airfield on Saturday to make it two wins on the bounce, beating Aberystwyth by three goals to one. Andy Moran, Carl Owen and Mark Allen were The Wingmakers scorers, with Aneurin Thomas getting a late consolation for the visitors.
The weekend action was rounded off at Park Hall on Sunday afternoon when League Champions, The New Saints fresh from a commendable effort against CSKA Sofia in the Europa League took on Bala Town. Mike Davies' side left it late to secure the three points, with Alex Darlington getting an 82nd minute goal to give them a 2-1 victory. Chris Sharp had opened the scoring after just seven minutes, only to see it cancelled out by Bala's Mark Jones midway through the half. The visitors must have thought they were in with a real chance when the influential Sharp was sent off early in the second half, but The Saints, as always, proved difficult to beat on their own patch and got what could prove to be a vital win in what's likely to develop into a tight Championship race.
