Swansea University beat Bangor Dragons 3:0 in the South division of the Welsh Championship on Sunday. The visitors took all three points at the Dragons' ground, keeping their place at the top of the table. By then they had already collected 13 points from five games without a single defeat.
C. Coughlin gave Swansea the lead in the 56th minute with a goal that proved decisive. Bangor pushed for a reply but could not find the net, and by the final whistle the score stood at 0:3. To be fair, the hosts had chances to get back into the game but let the opportunity slip.
There was one notable incident late in the match. A penalty was awarded to Bangor in stoppage time, but the attempt was missed in the 90+3rd minute. It was a moment that could have changed the complexion of the result, but it didn't.
The standings tell the story of two sides on different trajectories. Bangor sit third with 13 points from seven matches, four wins, one draw and two losses. Swansea remain first, having played five games and lost none, drawing once.
Swansea's recent form supports their position. They beat Llantrisant Major 3:0 in their last outing, and before that they had a mixed run including a heavy defeat to Treffelin. Bangor's recent results show inconsistency, with a 7:0 loss to Carmarthen Town among their outings.
The gap between the teams remains narrow on points, even if the games played differ. Swansea need two more victories to move clear, while Bangor will be looking to close the distance after a disappointing afternoon.
