John Robert Acton reports from Treflan as Jamie Wood's last gasp penalty is enough to see off a fuming Aberystwyth Town, who's manager Gary Finley was dismissed for the resulting protests from the disputed penalty decision.

12 points out of 12. The only
remaining realistic scenario for a European place. After today’s durable
performance versus TNS, Aber will be kicking their heals, screaming! The
difference between the sides was simplistic, a penalty for ball to hand on
Andy Lee.
Aber looked strong at the back for
the whole of the first half, and even provided Lee, Wright, and Lloyd-Williams
some chances on the goal – but Acton raised his playing level in order to
keep a deserved clean sheet.
TNS looked scrappy at the back, but eventually Evans commanded them well, and
gave them resilience rather than shape. King set up Wilde, who however found
the target out of reach with his shot. King stumbled prior to the cross, and
had to go off for treatment. Beck replaced him within 20 minutes of the game
starting. Rodgers found the side netting, before Lee was denied glory at the
opposite end.
Acton found a Lloyd-Williams shot a little taxing, and had to dive full
into it to save any TNS blushes. The penalty was paid, and TNS received the
game decider. Jamie Wood sent Worsnop the wrong way. Penalty converted, and
1-0 to the home side. Lee had previously been arbitrated to have handled from
a Naylor cross. Finley received a straight red for the arguments that
followed.
