A three goal defeat was the story of this Sunday afternoon trip to Shropshire to face their Under 19 counterparts of The New Saints managed by Welsh International Steve  Evans.
  The opening exchanges saw some anxiety in the blues defence with goalkeeper Nick Bould initially a little unsure of himself, but as the game went on the young stopper pulled off some fine saves and at times kept his side in the hunt.
  Right winger Jamie McDaid had an early chance which hit John Littlemore who reacted quickly but unfortunately smashed his volley over the bar. But on 28 minutes home side had the lead as right back Dylan Jones met a cross from the left with a clean finish to leave Bould with no chance.
  On 37 minutes it was two nil for The Saints when Ruabon based Taylor James fired home after a defensive mix up in the six yard area.
  That was it for the first half with the interval score standing at


  Fifteen minutes after the restart a double substitution for Bangor as rightback Ieuan Lloyd a nd Deion Evans left the field in favour of Sam Faulkner and Phil Warrington.
  Bangor's best moment of the second half followed when left winger Callum Davidson run through the home defence and sent a searing drive at Ryan Edkin's goal which seemed to skim the top of the crossbar.
  A tall well balanced left footer, Davidson was the pick of the young blues on view at Park Hall although there was no lack of effort from the likes of Iolo Hughes, Craig Whelan and Corey Jones who worked hard to counter the midfield prompting of Ryan Kershaw who was outstanding for the home side.
  And Nick Bould pulled off a couple of full length stops to deny Kershaw.
  The third and final goal came four minutes from time when Liam Walker crossed from the right to provide Taylor James with a close range finish and his second of the afternoon at a damp Park Hall.
  So a disappointing afternoon for the young blues who looked a bit heavy legged which was hardly surprising after the busy schedules of those who represented Wales in Scotland on Thursday - and those who played ninety minutes on the Saturday.

  Playing away from home for the first time this season City faced a very tough trip to the Deeside Stadium to face the defending champions who were unbeaten so far this campaign.   <>
  During  the opening exchanges City looked composed on the ball and their early pressure paid off after seven minutes when City were awarded a corner which Craig Whelan delivered with pinpoint accuracy and Corey Jones rising above the Connah`s Quay defence scored.  GAP Connah’s Quay Nomads 0 – 1 Bangor City.

  City continued to play composed football and control the game but a lack of discipline in the City defence from a quick Nomad’s throw in allowed a cross to be delivered from the right hand side which was met by Lee Jones whose well taken goal levelled the scores.

 As the half progressed City again reasserted their control and forced several corners but didn’t manage to regain the advantage until the  fourtieth minute when John Littlemore collected the ball on the left hand side cut inside and scored from 30 yards to give City a half time lead.

  City began the second half where they had left off dominating possession and their efforts were rewarded as Jamie McDaid`s fine strike increased the lead.
GAP Connah’s Quay Nomads 1 – 3 Bangor City.

  City continued to control the game and as full time approached Callum Davidson continued his fine goal scoring run with a fantastic solo effort beating three Nomads defenders within a tight corner and finding the bottom corner to make it a fine way win for City on their travels.

  With a number of last seasons’s squad unavailable due to holidays and work commitments it was a youthful Reserves side including five sixteen year olds that took the field against reigning Gwynedd League Champions Trearddur Bay United.

  John Littlemore opened the scoring for City turning well in the home penalty area to fire the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the goal, Trearddur Bay United 0 – 1 Bangor City, but was unfortunately forced out of the game seven minutes later with a thigh injury caused by a robust tackle.

  On 22 minutes a deep corner wasn’t dealt with by City’s inexperienced defence and the home side were level Trearddur Bay United 1 – 1 Bangor City.

  There then followed some sustained pressure from United as they sought to out muscle City’s youngsters but it was City who went ahead on 35 minutes when, after Peter Bould was brought down in the home penalty area, Callum Davidson calmly converted the resultant spot kick Trearddur Bay United 1 – 2 Bangor City and so the score remained at half time.

  In the second half City’s superior fitness became evident as United visibly tired in the heat and it was no surprise when on 70 minutes, after some good build up play, City increased their lead when Connor Roberts scored Trearddur Bay United 1 – 3 Bangor City.

  On 80 minutes City made the game safe when Connor Roberts scored his second goal of the game after showing some quick footwork in the United box to make it  Trearddur Bay United 1 – 4 Bangor City

  With the game won City’s youngsters relaxed a little and United reduced the deficit on 82 minutes on the counter attack, as City were caught short defensively, Ian Williams hit a fine strike into the roof of the City net.
