Bangor City have retained the Welsh Cup courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Aberystwyth Town at the Parc Y Scarlets Stadium, with midfielder Chris Seargeant gaining the Man of the Match award.

On an outstanding pitch in Llanelli, the 1,244 crowd had to wait just before half-time for the first goal of the afternoon, which came from a clinical Les Davies header. The burly forward had almost left the field in the first five minutes, having gone down twice with a right-knee injury, but it didn't stop the striker rising highest to meet a Marc Limbert corner on 44 minutes. He connected perfectly as Aneurin Thomas misjudged the flight and the looping header also beat Chris Venables who was defending on the goal-line.

Earlier in the first-half Rob Evans saw his shot hit the post after Graham Evans had played the young midfielder into space, whilst Geoff Kellaway twice fired over just after Davies' goal.

It was the Man of the Match who doubled the lead for the Citizens, but it came following excellent work by the impressive Davies. He forced Aber full-back Sion James into a mistake before stepping inside Aneurin Thomas and playing the ball to Seargeant, who turned well and shot under Dave Roberts in the Aber goal.

Young substitute Tom Bradshaw had the best Aber chance of the second-half, but he fired straight at Paul Smith when unopposed inside the Bangor penalty area.

The win means that Nev Powell is still unbeaten in the Welsh Cup as Bangor Manager after two seasons and he can now start to plan another European adventure, as his side will play in the Europa League. He said following the game.
