Nomads rue missed chances

CONNAH'S Quay Nomads were pulled back into the relegation dogfight after losing to Port Talbot, while Cwmbran recorded a vital victory at Caersws.

But sub Luke Bowen's late winner was harsh on the Deesiders, who paid the penalty for a host of missed chances.

Visiting keeper Neil Thomas had to produced a smart save in the opening minutes to deny both Gary O'Toole and Ryan Crawford.

Forward Phil Molyneux then saw his effort cleared off the line, while he later blazed a good chance over the bar from six yards.

Gradually the Steelmen began to get a toe-hold and Andrew Pearson twice tested Nomads' keeper Paul Smith.

Eventually they got their reward when Bowen received a long throw-in and headed past Smith with his first touch of the game.
