Welcome!

Both goals came in the first half, the first from Ross Stephens on 12 minutes from close range with the second a 35th minute penalty from Lee Hunt awarded after the striker was hauled down by Bala keeper Leon Bimpson.

This was a much improved performance all round by Town and the whole team played with a confidence that appeared to be a bit subdued in our previous two matches.

The result should give all concerned a big boost ahead of this weekend's televised match with big-spending Neath (Saturday, 3.45pm).

Bangor City will be the Seasiders' opponents in round two with the ties to be played on September 21/22 (home) and October 5/6 (away).

The Cofis claimed they did not have a pitch available but Prestatyn were not informed of any potential problems until Saturday. The ladies' management are now considering whether to lodge a protest over the late cancellation.

All in all it was a bleak weekend for Town with the first team beaten at Aberystwyth and the reserves and ladies thwarted by circumstances beyond theirs, or the club's, control.

Ambitious Tudno are one of only 14 clubs in Wales to possess a domestic licence but were unable to earn promotion to the Welsh Premier Super 12 this season as they could only finish third in the Cymru Alliance last term.

This season Llandudno are again going all out to secure top flight status. Maesdu Park has undergone a major transformation in recent months and the team is looking a formidable force on the field with wins at Buckley Town and Porthmadog already in the bag, although their winning streak ended at Rhyl last weekend.

Montgomery told the Daily Post the club is aiming to follow in the footsteps of Prestatyn who have risen from the Welsh Alliance to become a leading Welsh Premier side in just five years.

"We look at Prestatyn Town for inspiration and as an example of what can be achieved," he said. "Five years ago they were in the Welsh Alliance League, but are now among the big boys in the Welsh Premier and have always kept that local base of players. That's what we want to do."

The goal came dead on 45 minutes after Mike Parker conceded a free kick for a challenge on Barri Morgan a couple of yards outside the box. Luke Sherbon rolled the ball into the path of James McCarten whose daisycutter strike beat Jon Dunt at the foot of the post.

Dunty may well feel he could have done better but the Town keeper can take consolation from three top class saves which denied the Black and Greens a bigger winning margin.
