Cambrian & Clydach

Match report

Connah's Quay and Llandudno met in the Welsh Premier League Regular Season on Saturday, and the visitors held on for a 4:3 win at home. The result leaves the hosts in seventh place with 18 points and the visitors eighth with 16 after 11 games. It was a match decided by moments rather than dominance.

L. Eason opened the scoring in the ninth minute before A. Bonthron equalised two minutes later. The home side felt the pressure as Bonthron struck again in the 38th and 47th minutes to put Connah's Quay ahead. L. Lloyd pulled one back in the 50th, but C. Stephens and M. Williams added late goals for Llandudno to turn it on.

and here's the thing — the statistics tell a different story. Llandudno dominated possession at 57 per cent and created more attacks, yet Connah's Quay were more clinical with their shots on target. Five shots on target produced three goals, while eight shots off target and three on target for the visitors yielded two. by then the momentum had shifted.

There were five yellow cards between the two sides, with H. Bright, J. Woodford and J. Lloyd among those carded. Substitutions came at regular intervals: K. Smith and B. Maher for the hosts, F. Thomas and A. Bonthron for the visitors. Neither side was reduced to ten men, and the game remained open until the final whistle.

We had backed the away side at 42 per cent confidence in our preview, but the match went the other way. Connah's Quay's recent form — including a heavy 1:9 defeat — suggested vulnerability, and Llandudno refused to go away. The visitors now move closer to the top half, while the hosts must regroup after dropping points at home.
