55 yarder wins it for The Nomads!

One of the longest-range goals ever seen in the Welsh Premier gave Connah's Quay the points as Jim Hackett's side recovered from a 6-2 mauling at Haverfordwest.

The result also ended an unbeaten start to the season for Airbus, who were a trifle unlucky to lose out.

A strong wind blowing down the Deeside Stadium pitch ensured each side had the advantage with the wind at their backs and Chris Williams used the elements to fire a 55-yard chip sailing over stranded Wingmakers' stopper Andy Hughes.

Tommy Baker also tried his luck from distance, while Craig Jones headed against a post from Stuart Cook's cross.

Alan Hooley and James McIntosh both fired wide for the visitors, with ex-Newtown man Holley forcing home keeper Paul Pritchard into a flying save.

With Airbus now on top, player/boss Gareth Owen led the charge to pick up something from his old club, sending one free-kick narrowly wide and another onto a post.
