Pontypridd Town claimed a 1-4 victory away to Cardiff Dragons in the Welsh Championship South division on Saturday. The visitors have now extended their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions. Cardiff remain rooted in the lower half of the table after another difficult outing.
Edwards gave the home side a glimmer of hope before the hour mark with a goal in the 40th minute. The Dragons pressed forward early and won a dangerous free-kick in a promising position. Edwards stepped up and finished from close range, sending the home end into raptures.
Pontypridd responded almost immediately. Gullick levelled the score in the 45th minute, just before the break. To be fair, the visitors had been more composed in possession and deserved their reward. The half ended 1-1, with both sides having chances to take the lead.
After the interval the visitors pulled away with three more goals, though the exact minutes were not recorded in the match data. The Dragons let the game flow too freely and Pontypridd took full advantage. Cardiff's defence appeared to lose its shape in the second period.
Cardiff sit 13th with four points from four games. They have won one, drawn one and lost two so far this season. Pontypridd, meanwhile, occupy second place with 13 points from five matches and remain unbeaten.
The visitors come into this fixture with momentum. Their recent results include victories over Pontardawe Town and Treowen Stars, and they drew 2-2 with Cardiff in April. The home side have struggled for goals, managing only four in five games.
This result widens the gap between the two sides in the table. Pontypridd continue to push for promotion contention while Cardiff must find a way to climb away from the bottom half.
