Penalty heartbreak for Nomads

Below is an extract taken from "The Nomads Archives".

That tale has been told time and again. Over 2,000 saw the final at the Racecourse, Wrexham and when Bangor City were reduced to ten men early in the game Nomads' tails were up. Once again Steve Futcher gave us the lead mid-way through the second half and only a late equaliser from Ken McKenna stopped Connah's Quay from earning a place in European competition inside the 90 minutes. Extra-time came and went and Bangor eventually triumphed in a penalty shoot-out with former Nomad Nicky Brookman scoring the decisive spot-kick to add salt to our wounds.
