Eye catching victories against Haverfordwest County and Newtown are the main headlines from that run although a point last time out against fellow high flyers Penybont will also please the management. A very familiar face to Town supporters and football fans all over Wales in the Bala Town lineup will be the imperious Chris Venables. 'Venners' enjoyed two stints in Black and Green and during that time, he found the back of the net 78 times and won a trio of golden boot awards.
Despite the upturn in home form, points on the road have been somewhat difficult to come by. The men from Ceredigion have only won one match away from the Cardigan Bay although performances over recent matches against Caernarfon, Cardiff Met and Penybont offer the Black and Green army every cause for optimism. Maes Tegid has been the location for numerous happy memories for Aberystwyth Town. Under the stewardship of Neville Powell, a last minute Declan Walker goal saw Aber come from 2-1 down to win 3-2.
Were Aber content with a home draw? The answer was a resounding no as a high boot on the ubiquitous Harry Arnison in the area was punished with a penalty kick, and Niall Flint stepped up to joyously smash home a second with just five minutes to go. Aber had to survive a series of corners and free kicks during four minutes of injury time, with even keeper Allen coming up twice to try and snatch a draw, but the Black and Greens held out to make it four out of four! The Seasiders’ best home run in almost a decade has brought a really positive vibe to Park Avenue, and Anthony Williams reminded the media in his post match interviews that he was still targeting a Top Six finish.
Town’s next challenge comes when Aber make the trip up to Bala next Friday evening, for a 7. 45pm kick off. Happy Halloween to everyone in Black and Green! GENERO ADRAN PREMIERBARRY TOWN UNITED WOMEN 1 (M. OLDEN 26')ABERYSTWYTH TOWN WOMEN 0VENUE: JENNER PARK27/10/2022 Aberystwyth Town Women fell to another disappointing defeat on the road, losing 1-0 to Barry Town United on Thursday evening. In a rearranged fixture, Mackenzie Olden's first-half goal was enough to make the difference. After good performances against Cardiff City and Swansea City, Aber had hoped for more from this match - but once again they struggled to convert chances.
Into the second half and the industrious Flint sent in a good right wing cross which just evaded Darlington, then Okera Simmonds volleyed wide from the right channel for Flint, and then headed over minutes later as the visitors threatened. Louis Bradford and Sam Litchfield at Centre Back were having superb games repelling and blocking attacks, but Harrison sent a super volley inches wide, with the game hanging in the balance.
