Three points for Bangor at Llandudno although not without some controvesy in particular over the second goal for the visitors. In the melee that followed Llandudno manager Matthew Jones was sent off.   The visitors though scored twice on their travels and refused to be distracted.   Bangor forced a couple of early chances with Goicoechea and then Colace being denied by home goalkeeper Shaun Pearson.   Moments later Agyemang won a corner but then headed the flag kick over the home crossbar from close range. Next Colace fired over but on the quarter hour mark City had the lead.   A corner fired across by Pietro Cauterucci is headed home by Goicechea with Pearson well beaten for once.   Five minutes later it was nearly two nil as Chacon broke down the right and crossed for Agyemang but the tall striker headed wide.   City were now in control and enjoying the majority of possession on the Maesdu plastic surface.   On the half hour Llandudno had penalty claims waved away by Oswestry official Bartram before former blue Robbie Parry ran on goal but fired over the crossbar.   On 35 minutes a yellow card for Anthony Marshall for a foul on Agyemang results in a freekick which Serafino fires goalwards but Shaun Pearson pushes away for a corner. From the corner kick which leads to Colace and then Rea going close for City.   In the closing minutes an injury suffered by defender Marshall sees him leave the field in a sorry state and unlikely to continue after the break.   So a slender lead for Bangor who dominated proceedings but again failed to convert the chances created.
	HALF TIME 0-1
No changes at the interval by Bangor but Llandudno replaced the stricken Marshall with Bryan Hughes.   Big Agyemang soon got the better of former team mate Lennie Armstrong and charged on goal but the chances fizzled away.   On the hour mark controvesy and some confusion as veteran striker Lee Thomas was sent off to leave the visitors with then men for the remainder of the game. Reports suggest foul and abusive language towards the referee.   With fifteen minutes left on the clock more unruly scenes as Bangor double their advantage.   A goal credited to Placeres was generally seen to have been slapped home by the opportunist striker but not spotted by the match officials. In the mayhem that followed Llandudno manager Matthew Jones was ordered from the touchline for comments and protestations beyond the acceptable.   In the closing minutes Bangor sent on Wealth DaSilva and Lucas Surber to freshen things up and would have been pleased to keep a clean sheet.   So a rare but welcome away win for Bangor and a result which opens up a six point lead over Llandudno who are directly below them in the league table.
FINAL SCORE 0-2

On a cold windy day on the Memorial Fields the blues side were made to battle for a share of the spoils in a game decided by penalties scored and spurned.   The home side kicked off with a strong wind sweeping along the Dee valley at their backs and offering a clear advantage for the first period of play.   Bangor forced an early corner but the ever dangerous Simone Rea headed wide. Then Tom Williams crossed for Gwydion Ifan to threaten but goalkeeper Laborda pulled off the stop.   Next Tom Williams fired wide from distance with the wind making control difficult.   On 23 minutes Corwen were awarded a penalty following a corner. Up stepped former blues striker Joe Williams to send goalkeeper Laborda the wrong way to give the home side the lead.   Bangor looked to bounced back as Busto crossed but recent signing Wealth DaSilva headed wide.   In added time at the end of the first half City were awarded a penalty for a foul on Wealth DaSilva but Francesco Serafino sent his spot kick wide and the chance went begging.   So a tale of two penalties which effectively separated the two sides at the interval.

	HALF TIME 1-0
No changes at the interval.   Big centre forward Agyemang fell in the box and claimed a penalty but referee Wright was unimpressed and promptly booked the lanky striker.   On 54 minutes Bangor drew level.   Francesco Serafino saw his shot saved by former Airbus glovesman Keighan Jones but Santiago Chacon was on hand to head home.   The other former Bangor striker Sam Henry caused some uncomfortable moments for the visitors but Labardo was alert to the danger.   With some thirteen minutes lef to play debutant DaSilva made ay for Alex Boss.   As the game went on, with City now enjoying the backing of the strong wind, it was goalkeeper Jones who kept the home side on level terms with saves forom Serafino, Chacon and Boasso before referee Wright blew for time.   So another draw for Bangor who adapted gamely to the difficult circumstances but once again could not convert many of the chances on offer.

Scoring goals has been a problem for Bangor all season and once again a positive performance for most of the game was marred by an inability to convert the chances created.   But a point to take back to Nantporth was better than returning empty handed.    As often before the imposing Agyemang was at the centre of the visitors attacking threats.   The big striker burst into the box in the opening minutes but the Penrhyn defence closed the door quickly, then he was fouled but the resulting freekick came to nothing.   City forced a series of corners with Chacon seeing a goalbound shot deflected wide but the home side fired a warning shot as they broke upfield for Ifan Burrel to force a great save from goalkeeper Laborda.   A further corner from James Thomas nearly broke the deadlock unaided but some desperate last ditch defence cleared the danger.   Following another corner Alex Boss fired on goal from a tight angle but again a Penrhyn defender was on hand to clear off the line.   On the half our yet another corner kick sent over by Thomas found the head of Lucas Surber but the big defender nodded wide of the upright.   Eight minutes before the break Thomas lifted the ball over the home defence for Agyemang to chase into the box where he abruptly stopped. Bangor shouted for a penalty but referee Williams was not interested.   So another goalless opening half for Bangor despite several openings.
	HALF TIME 0-0
No changes at the interval.   Two minutes after the restart an inviting cross from the lively Alex Boss was headed meekly wide by Agyemang when well placed.   On 55 minutes Penrhyncoch forged an opening but could not hit the target following a dangerous cross.   Another Bangor corner was headed narrowly wide by Federico Tobler as the roster of wasted chances continued to lengthen.   On the hour mark James Thomas made way for substitute Eugenio Dalia.  Eight minutes later and another corner which Simone Rea sent back across goal where a home defender crashed his header against his own crossbar.   Ten minutes from time Alex Boss released Serafino but his snap shot flies over the crossbar. And moments later the flying winger made way for replacement Pascarella.   In the final minute visitors attacker Lance Jones put his head in the way of a flying boot and needed treatment for a wound whch saw him taken to hospital for stitches. For the short time that remained Carywn Morgan took his place.   So another promising display from City but just the one point to take back North.

Bangor fell to defeat at Cae Y Castell to bring their recent unbeaten run to an end.   With several new faces replacing those departed - including the likes of Baio and Vieira - there was bound to be some disruption in the visitors ranks in the shadow of the Edwardian fortress.   The seaside pitch,so open to the elements that a Welsh Premier match was once abandoned by the referee after a goalkick flew back over the kicker's crossbar. This was not quite as drastic but nevertheless the wind dominated.   Flint took the lead on sixteen minutes. New signing Jordan Barrow hurtled a trademark long throw into the Bangor box and as other hesitated Dom McHugh prodded home from close range.   On twenty minutes a yellow card for Emmanuel Agyemang and moments later another goal for the home side was ruled out by an offside flag.   With game getting bogged down by the weather and some petty squabbles the rest of the half was played out without major incident and no further goals.   Having endured the disadvatage of playing into the wind in the first half Bangor could feel optimistic about their chances in the second.   So a slender deficit for City at the break.
	HALF TIME
One change at the interval for Bangor as local lad Alex Boss replaced Zicarelli to mark his return debut after rejoining from Aberystwyth.   And the spring heeled Boss would enjoy the backing of the strong wind in the second period.   Bangor started the brighter in the second period, created some chances but could not seriously test goalkeeper Danby.   Ten minutes after the restart a combination of Agyemang and substitute Boss created an opening for Pascarella but he lifted high over the bar.   On the hour mark a second change for Bangor as Lorenzo Castlado came on for De Maria.   And two minutes later debutant Placeres forced a good save from the veteran Danby who was happy to push the effort over for a corner. Next Serafino fired for goal but saw his shot fly high and wide.   On 83 minutes a third and final change for Bangor as Leghissa replaced Pascarella but he was unable to serously alter the position and the home side held out for a win.   So defeat for the visitors who face the lengthy and difficult trip to Penrhyncoch next weekend..

Bangor remain unbeaten in two matches as they followed up their win at Rhyl with a draw at Colwyn Bay.   City were able to welcome back frontman Francesco Serafino after he served a suspension.   And the blues made a positive start with Leghissa in on goal but firing too close goalkeeper Coughlin. Moments later the hosts responded in similar style as Julian Williams shot wide.   On the quarter hour Toby Jones thought he had scored but Bangor are rescued by De Maria's goalline clearance. On 18 minutes Bangor won their second corner of the evening but threee minutes later it was Colwyn Bay who took the lead as Toby Jones picked out Mitch Bryant whose low shot beat Brino into the back of the Bangor net.   Buoyed by this goal the home side pressed forward with Tom McCready influential in midifeld. For City Lennie Armstrong and David Thompson were at the heart of the resistance.   On 35 minutes Bangor drew level as Nicholas Delvechio beat Voughlin with a well placed finish.   Former blues favourite Sion Edwards went close for Colwyn Bay as the game swung from end to end.   In the final minute of the half goalscorer Delvechio had a golden opportunity to put City ahead as he latched onto Sammartino's pass but sent his shot straight at the goalkeeper.   So all square at the interval..
	HALF TIME 1-1
No changes at the interval for either side.   Colwyn Bay had a chance in the opening minute but Toby Jones chipped the ball directly to Brino.   Goalscorer Bryant went close but saw his shot crash into the side netting moments after Brino had saved a McCready effort with his feet. On the hour mark the home fans thought they had the lead but celebration were cut short as Julian Williams' effort is ruled out by an offside flag. Next Pietro Cauterucci fired wide from distance as Bangor pressed.   Colwyn Bay stepped up their game and Lennie Armstrong did well to stop one effort in the midst of the flurry of corners which saw Will Bell head over.   On 70 minutes a change for both sides as Zoumbare replaced Leghissa and left winger Sion Edwards makes way for Joe Chaplin.   Tom McCready goes close with a freekick before City make another change as James Thomas replaces Serafino.   The home side pushed for a winner in the closing ten minutes with Will Bell and Julian Williams closest to the breakthrough but it was not to be.   So a second positive result in a row for Bangor and some signs of hope as the Christmas period looms.

Bangor registered a hard fought win at Belle Vue with all three goals scored in the first half.   Both sides made changes from their prevous starting eleven with City bringing Pavel Vieira and Francesco Leghissa in whilst Rhyl started with Ben Lockley and Dave McIntyre involved.   The Lilywhites were forced into an early change as set piece king Ross Stephens limped off on seven minutes to be replaced by Aaron Hassall.   The opening stages were largely bereft of clear openings for either side with both defences dealing competently with any threats.   The towering Agyemang began to make his presence felt for Bangor and his lay off sent Francesco Leghissa in on left but he fired at goalkeeper Rory Crowther. Next Pietro Cauterucci shot on target but again too close to the 'keeper, likewise Sammartino moments later.   For Rhyl winger Arek Piskorksi fired wide before on the half hour a yellow card for Agyemang for a poor challenge on his marker Max Peate.   But on 34 minutes City went ahead as Emmanuel Agyemang as he converts a loose ball which Delvechio initially shot against Cauterucci. Some controvesy though as the linesman appeared to indicate an offside which was over ruled by referee Aled Williams after consulation with the assistant.   Rhyl responded four minutes later as Sam Molyneux headed home from substitute Hassall's freekick on the left. The replacement nearly put the home side ahead moments later but it was Bangor who scored again.   Left footer Sammartino twisted and turned on the right before he crossed left footed into the Rhyl box for Simone Rea to head downwards beyond Crowther. A late booking for Pietro Cauterucci did not take the gloss of the good first half display by the visitors.   So a slender half time lead for the blues at Belle Vue.
	HALF TIME 1-2
No changes at the interval for either side.   Minutes into the second period Gabriele Brino did well to keep out a goalbound effort from former Airbus and Leicester midfielder Aaron Hassall as Rhyl set the early pace in terms of territory and possesson.   On the hour Arek Piskorski shot wide and minutes later blues defender David Thompson was shown the yellow card for a poor challenge. Ten minutes later Rhyl winger James Murphy was also cautioned by the referee.   With little happening the next action of note was a first change for Bangor as the veteran James "Smiler" Thomas came on for Delvechio and five minutes later a debut for Lorenzo Castalda as he replaced Francesco Leghissa.   A cross into the Bangor box is comfortably held by Brino as time ran out and City still leading by that solitary goal.   With three minutes to go a third and final change for the visitors as Lucas Surber trotted on for Emmanuel Agyemang. Follwing a clash on their right Rhyl lost Piskorski to injury with Callum Roberts his replacement in the final moments. The young sub forced a fine save from Brino as The Lilywhites created a rare opening but could not find the equaliser.   And that was about it was time blew on a fine away win for Bangor.   A first win and three welcome points for manager Pasculi after a string of poor results.

Bangor overcame a resilient Nefyn side on a difficult heavy pitch to book their place in the second round of the FAW Welsh Cup.   A crowd of more than three hundred filled the picturesque Caer Delyn ground with most clearly hoping for a famous win for the Welsh Aliance side. There was media interest in the form of Sgorio and curious glances aimed at World Cup winning City manager Pascal   City started on the front foot and won a couple of corners but could not make the breakthrough.   Twelve minutes into the match and Bangor were inches away from taking the lead as Francesco Serafino hit the post when well placed. Three minutes later Aldair Neto struck the crossbar with a freekick which again had goalkeeper Aikman beaten. Next captain Pavel Vieira headed over the bar from a Bangor corner.   With the temperature on and off the pitch rising blues captain Pavel Vieira was inevitably in the thick of the action and the referee's book.   As the half went on the home side got more into the game and Jack Atkinson was forced into action.   Nevertheless the half time score remained blank with the home fans doubtless feeling an upset could still be on the cards.   Photo above with thanks to Sgorio
	HALF TIME 0-0
No changes at the interval for either side.   The home side main the ealry running with Jack Atkinson forced to pull of a tremendous save to keep the scores level.   Moments later Pietro Cauterucci was denied by goalkeeper Aikman and from the resulting corner City thought they had the breakthrough but Pavel Vieira was ruled to have handled the ball. On fifty minutes a first change for Bangor as Pascarella replaces Leghissa   Before the hour mark Vieira, Cauterucci and Neto all have chances but none are converted as Nefyn defend bravely.   Next up Sammartino and substitute Pascarella go close but still the score remains blank. With twenty minutes left a second change as Aldair Neto makes way for Zoumbare.   And a minute later the changes worked. A low corner from the right pulled back by Serafineo to Salvator Pascarella who tuened the ball home with a first time effort.   Nefyn reacted to the set back with a good deal of pressure on the visitors goal but could not find the break through.   Their defiance was only undone on 90 minutes when Salvator Pascarella fired home left footed from the edge of the box to make it two nil and secure the victory.   So a stern test for the Bangor side who had to wait until the final moments to clinch their place in the draw.

Bangor let in a late goal at Ruthin to come away with just one point instead of the three which seemed likely for much of the second half.   Both sides showed positive intent from the kick off. For Bangor the first clear chance came as Emmanuel Agyemang headed goalwards from Francesco Serafino's cross but home goalkeeper Goldston saved comfortably.   On eleven minutes Ruthin were forced into an early change as Alex Webster could not shake off an early knock as was replaced by the veteran Craig Wilkinson.   City continued to press with Serafino and Agyemang prominent but Goldston remained relatively untroubled in the Ruthin goal.   Winger Aldair Neto went close with a stinging drive as the ball was half cleared from a corner but he just failed to hit the target.   Up the other end Ruthin shoot on goal and see the ball crash against the crossbar to safety.   Five minutes before the interval a yellow card for defender Sammartino as he pulled the Ruthin player back as a counter attack threatened.   So a blank first half with both sides forging chances but failing to make the breakthrough.
	HALF TIME 0-0
No changes at the interval for either side.   From the offset of the second half City pressed wth Aldair Neto to the fore, first shooting cleanly on goal and then creating chances for his strike partners.   On 56 minutes the Bangor breakthrough arrived. A corner won by a combination of De Maria and Leghissa is headed home by centreback Simone Rea to put the visitors one nil ahead.  On the our thourgh is was Brino in the Bangor goal who did well to keep the home side out.   On the hour mark a first change for City as Pietro Cuterucci came on for Leghissa.   Three minutes later Serafino's cross just evaded Agyemang before the Number 10 shot on target but saw his effort saved by Goldston. On 69 minutes a first Bangor appearance for James Thomas as he comes on for Agyemang.   For Bangor defender Simone Rea and David Thompson caught they eye with their defensive work as Ruthin looked for an equaliser.   Ruthin went close a couple of times before on 81 minutes another change for them as Tom Sharples replaced Ilan Hughes. Moments later a yellow card for Craig Wilkinson for pulling the shirt of Pvel Vieira as he looked to lead a Bangor break.   But five minutes from time the home side drew level as Gwion Owen rounded off a speedy counterattack to beat Brino with a clean strike.   And that was how it finished as City paid for some wasteful finishing to leave the Memorial Ground with a point rather than three.

Bangor went out of the Nathaniel MG Cup at Bala 7-6 on pens after drawing one all against their Welsh Premier opponents.   And this under the watchful gaze of new manager Pedro Pasculli.   The main change made by the new manager was in goal where former Wrexham youngster Jack Atkinson made his City debut.   And as expected against the Mase Tegid side the young glovesman was soon into the action to deny Lasana Mendes on five minutes, with former Bala dedender David Thompson in the thick of the action at both ends of the pitch.   On 13 minutes a yellow card for Piettro Cauterucci and a minute later the tricky Aldair Neto wriggles his way free of the watching defence to shoot on target but Ashley Morris saves comfortably. On twenty minutes former Bangor winger Louis Robles fired wide from a freekick.   Next Lee Molyneux fired wide but on 29 minutes the home side have the lead as Louis Robles latched onto Lee Molyneux's deflected effort and beats the debutant Atkinson. The linesman did appear to flag for offside but was over ruled by the referee.   Bangor looked to respond through midfielder Yalany Baio has he fired at goal from Aldair Neto's pass but could not keep his effort down.   City then won a couple of corners but any defence drilled by Colin Caton is typically resillient to set piece threats.   So a single goal between the two sides at the break with new manager Pacsulli doubtless pleased by the effort on show.
	HALF TIME 0-0
No changes at the interval for either side.   But inside five minutes the Lakesiders thought they had doubled their lead through Lasana Mendes but the linesman ruled that an offside attacker was blocked the view of goalkeeper Atkinson and the "goal" was disallowed.   Bala respoded with a double substitution as Nathan Burke and Chris Venables came on for Steven Leslie and Louis Robles respectively.   On the hour Bangor drew level. A cracking striker from Francesco Serafino from the edge of the box beat the experienced Morris all ends up off Cauterucci's assist.   Five minytes later goalscorer Serafino had a half chance on the edge of the box btu sliced his effort well wide, and moment later on 72 minutes does much the same again but from closer to goal. In between the two efforts goalkeeper Atkinson did wel lto deny Nathan Burke.   Three minutes from time a freekick for Bangor is crossed deep but Simone Rea headed over the crossbar.   And that was about it as the referee blew for time and sent the game into a penalty shoot out.   PENALTY SHOOT OUT   Bangor took the first kick through Sammartino who scored, Venables levelled for Bala. (1-1)   Next up Serafino put City in front before substitutee Burke equalised. (2-2)   Third up for Bangor defender Thompson sees his effort saved but Jack Atkinson saved from Henry Jones. (2-2)   Fourth taker Baio nets for Bangor as does Molyneux for Bala (3-3)   Fifth effort scored by midfielder Vieira and Horwood. (4-4)   Sudden death now as Neto nets before defender Spittle does likewise. (5-5)   Substittue Leghissa scores for Bangor and Mendes equalises for Bala (6-6)   Then agony for Cauterucci as Morris saves and Burns converts to send Bala through seven six on pens.   Next league action for Bangor at Ruthin on Saturday.
FINAL SCORE 1-1 (Bala win 7-6 on pens)

Three days after knocking full timers The New Saints out of the Nathaniel MG Cup Bangor crashed to a heavy defeat against coast rivals Prestatyn at Bastion Gardens, and finished the game with eight men.   And this after a goalless first half.   Young Bangor defender Lennie Armstrong was the first name into the referee's book for a tenth minute challenge which attracted a yellow card.   On the quarter hour the first clear chance of the evening for Prestatyn as Rob Hughes released Jordan Davies but he could not control the ball and Bangor cleared.   Mid way through the half Gabriele Brino did well to parry a Rob Hughes freekick and ten minutes later the left footer sent another set piece high over the crossbar. In  between Bangor defender Lucas Surber was shown the yellow card.   Prestatyn had the better of the first half and another Rob Hughes effort struck the woodwork before Zebb Edwards was also cautoned by the referee.   So a all square at the interval..
	HALF TIME 0-0
No changes at the interval for either side.   But if the home side had been wasteful before the break they were soon into goalscoring action in the second.   After early chances from Jack Kenny and Mike Parker had been spurned Alex Jones netted from close range on 53 minutes to give the hosts the lead.   On 61 minutes Rob Hughes finally got a freekick right and duly beat goalkeeper Brino to double the advantage, two nil.   Two minutes later Wrexham based striker Jordan Davies made it three nil as the floodgates began to open.   On 65 minutes Bangor midfielder Pavel Vieira was shown two yellow cards in quick succession with the second being closely followed by a red. Down to ten men and three nil down Bangor now had to fear the worst against rampant Prestatyn.   On 67 defender Kai Edwards get in on the action to make it four nil and promptly sent on Jack Higgins for Alex Jones. Trouble for Bangor now with all three substitutes, Gozzerini, Crescenzo and Leghissa on the pitch Lucas Surber was also sent off by referee Gray.   Later David Thompson was red carded to leave the visitors with just eight men for the closing stages.   The scoreline got worst for Bangor on 83 minutes with a penalty opportunity seized by Rob Hughes to make it five nil.   Referee Gray was harsh on the Bangor transgressors but typically lenient on home offenders Rob Hughes and Michael Parker for violent conduct but the official was not authorised by his dugout controller to make such decisions.   Goal number six duly arrived through substitute Ian Griffiths who headed home against the beleagured blues defence with three minutes left to play.   And on ninety minutes Ian Griffiths netted his second after he picked up an inviting pass from Zebb Edwards to slide the ball past goalkeeper Brino who was undoubtedly pleased to hear the final whistle moments later.   Next league action for Bangor
FINAL SCORE 7-0

Kick off at Talwrn Road was delayed due to heavy traffice and congestion along the A55 caught the travelling Bangor contingent.   But it failed to derail unbeaten Bangor took all three points thanks to a first half strike from Francesco Serafino.   But with some players arriving later than others City had to resuffle the starting line up and allow others to fill the bench spaces as they could.   On thirteen minutes Bangor had the lead as Francesco Serafino slotted home from a tight angle after he intercepted a wayward back pass and left former Porthmadog goalkeeper Tyler French stranded..   Bangor pushed for a second, Callum McMInimee was shown the yellow card before midway through half Llangefni won a freekick which forced a good save from visitors goalkeeper Gabriele Brino. Alun Roberts and Steven Kehoe also went close for the home side.   City defender Piero Cauterucci was also yellow carded before on the stroke of half time Tyler French pulled off a fine save to deny Aldair Neto a second Bangor goal.   So a slender advantage for Cty at the interval before the 400+ Talwrn Road crowd.
	HALF TIME 0-1
No changes at the interval for either side.   Both sides still in the game but Llangefni goalkeeper Tyler French still very much the busier of the two keepers.   City made a couple of changes as David Thompson and Ashely Ruane came on for Yalany Baio and Aldair Neto respectively, whilst Llangefni sent on Steff Jones and one time Bangor player Mike Lundstram for Callum McMinimee and Iwan Jones.   Towards the end of the match Emmanuel Agyemang spurned a glorious opportunity to put the match beyond doubt but it mattered not at the final minutes were played out before referee Mark James blew for the final whistle. Three points which lift Bangor to fifth despite the disadvantage of the late start to not only this game but the season as a whole.   Next league action for Bangor is the visit of Llandudno to Nantporth next Saturday.
