Bangor 1876 chalk up another league victory

Bangor 1876 began the new month with a return to league action and a trip to the charming western edge of Eifionydd. The entertaining match was played around the corner from David Lloyd George’s childhood home and the 1876 fans were treated to a liberal sprinkling of goals.

The first half had an even feel until a fourth minute goalmouth melee was ended by Les Davies’ decisive goalward touch. A thrust and parry pattern developed as the yellow-shirted hosts attempted to equalise. The pattern continued even after debutant Lee McNulty scored with a powerful header in the fifteenth minute.

The second goal thrilled Bangorian hearts and further thrills came from the well worked attacks that created more chances and a disallowed goal. 1876 scored a legitimate third goal when Jamie Petrie struck a low shot from outside the area in the twenty-ninth minute. A fourth goal was added by Sion Parry from close range in the thirty-second minute.

Bangor 1876 led by four goals to nil at half time but the fact that their team continued to attack even after conceding a fourth goal may have slightly appeased the Llan faithful.

The second half of the match featured the proverbial flurry of goals. Dylan Summer-Jones scored a hattrick within twenty minutes of the second half’s start. The first two goals were close range headers in the fifty-second minute and fifty-sixth minutes respectively and the trio was completed in the sixty-fourth minute when Summers-Jones latched on to a long pass and shepherded the ball past Coats.

In the following ten minutes another two goals were added. Leon Owens scored from close range in the sixty-eighth minute. Summers – Jones added his fourth goal of the match in the seventy-fifth minute with a tidy close range finish.

The last ten minutes of the match saw a further two goals when Jamie Petrie scored his second goal with a trademarked precise finish. Harry Jones completed the scoring in the eighty-eighth minute with a close range header.

Bangorians had only been entertained by their free-scoring team the hospitality shown by the hosts meant they enjoyed a fantastic day. Therefore we’d like to finish this report by offering our thanks and appreciation to both CPD Llanystumdwy and Menter y Plu, the community-owned pub, for their warm welcome and hospitality. Diolch! Thank You!
