Caersws claim late victory at Portmadog
Caersws saw off Portmadog 3-1 in the North section of the Welsh Championship on Friday evening. The result moves the visitors level on points with their hosts, though they sit a place behind on goal difference. And here's the thing — five games played compared to six for Portmadog makes the gap tighter than the table suggests.
T. Edwards gave the home side the lead in the forty-fourth minute, a moment that changed how the rest of the half unfolded. Portmadog held their shape after that, but Caersws came back with purpose. To be fair, the visitors had been patient, waiting for the right moment to strike.
M. Owen equalised in the seventy-second minute, and S. Phillips put Caersws ahead nine minutes later. By then the match had shifted on its axis — what looked like a home draw was slipping away. Portmadog pushed for a response, but the visitors' defence held firm under pressure.
J. Marks added a fourth goal in stoppage time, sealing what turned into a comfortable away victory. The late addition meant Portmadog could not salvage anything from the final minutes. It was a finish that left little doubt about who had controlled the decisive moments.
Portmadog remain sixth with eleven points from six games, three wins and two draws alongside one defeat. Caersws move up to seventh on ten points from five fixtures, matching that record with a single loss. The result closes the gap between them but leaves the hosts still with a point to answer for.
