WP Under 19 Play Off Bangor City 1 v 3 Cambrian & Clydach This evenly contested entertaining game was a credit to both teams and in reality a shame one side had to lose. Played at Latham Park on a sunny afternoon the match was broadcast live by the FAW via Facebook and was a fitting climax to a top season of youth football in Wales. The Rhondda side took the lead on 20 minutes as Cameron Keech pounced on a long throw from the right to crash the ball low past blues keeper Antoni Sarnowski from eighteen yards. Ten minutes later it was one all as Harry Galeotti netted from fullback Harri Hughes cross from the left. Ten minutes before the interval Sam Jones turned the ball home and despite City defenders claiming the ball had not crossed the line the goal stood, rightly so as TV replays confirmed. The leading lights for Bangor in the opening period had been centrebacks Adam Pritchard and Caio Hywel, elegant midfielder Guto Williams and marauding leftback Harri Hughes. Half Time
Ten minutes after the restart big Cameron Keech was booked for a
challenge on Caio Owen as City started to exert pressure on the Clydach
defence.Bangor City 1 v 2 Cambrian & Clydach Bangor went on to win seven or eight second half corners but unhappily sent too many too deep to bother the giant custodian Morgan Davies. With some twenty minutes remaining Adam Pritchard saw his header held and then saved a shot from Cai Owen. But after so much Bangor pressure it was C&C who so nearly grabbed a third as Connor Ray watched his lob strike the Bangor crossbar. Alex Boss had his progress halted by Thomas who was yellow carded but Shaun Cavanagh sent the freekick over the bar. Five minutes from time substitute Jamie Crisp might have made it three. But into added time big Cameron Keech latched onto a stray Bangor throw in to slide the ball beyond Antoni Sarnowski for a decisive third and his second of the game. A cruel end to an entertaining match but a hard fought win for Cambrian & Clydach who avenged their narrow defeat of a year ago. |

WP Under 19 League Rhyl 2 v 2 Bangor City Two late goals salvaged a point at Belle Vue after U19 Champions Bangor had fallen behind to Rhyl following two first half goals. City reshuffled the defence a gave a run out to first teamer Anthony Miley and he was soon tested by the eager young Lilywhites who seized the iniative. The home side scored twice in the opening quarter of an hour. They struck first through Ryan Hulse and then via sixteen year old Welsh Colleges striker Iwan Murrary. The Lilwhites deservedly led two nil at the interval. Half Time
With the title in the bag Bangor did not want to end the season on a
sour note and set about the Rhyl goal with ceaseless determination in
the second period.Rhyl 2 v 0 Bangor City But although they hit the woodwork on the number of occasions and had shots cleared off the line they could not get the ball in the back of the net. Then three minutes from time substitute Adam Evans halved the deficit to give the young citizens hope after the beleagured Rhyl defence had resisted previous goalbound efforts moments earlier. And in the final minute "old timer" Anthony Miley popped up to bag a late equaliser which the second half display had fully deserved. After the final whilstle the team were presented with the League trophy and celebrated in style. Photo above with thanks to Bangor City

WP Under 19 League Newtown 0 v 3 Bangor City Three second half goals clinched a second successive Development League North title for Bangor after stubborn, determi And in reality that was about the story of the first half as midfield general Ifan Emlyn Jones drove City forward with some well timed interceptions and incisive passes. Attacking the Social Club end Bangor laid siege to Dave Jones goal with No 10 Shaun Cavanagh central to the onslaught. His thirty yard freekick flew over then he turned a low cross form the right into the side netting. The Newtown youngsters were wearing the first team away yellow kit which at first misled some supporters (or one at least) into contemplating the strength of the opposition! Jones saved well from Ifan Emlyn Jones before Cavanagh sent another freekick over. Right winger Harry Galeotti crossed for Sam Jones but first teamer Jones saved again. On the half hour another good run and cross from Galeotti found Cavanagh but Jones was in place once more. When Newtown did threaten centrebacks Caio Hywel and Adam Pritchard were in no mood to give an inch. Alongside Jones in midfield the tall elegant figure of Guto Williams looked assured on the ball. Ten minutes from time Ifan Emlyn Jones fired on target, moments later Cavanagh shot over and one the stroke of half time midfielder Jones sent a dipping freekick just over from twenty five yards. City fans were upset by evident time wasting and the inability of the referee to stamp it out, but the one who commented that the young Robins might run out of steam in the second half was on the money. Top left Harry Galeotti, right Ifan Emlyn Jones
Half Time Newtown 0 v 0 Bangor City Now attacking the main car park end, City redoubled their efforts and gained the all important breakthrough goal. Jones did well to repel Caio Hywel and Harry Galeotti but on 50 minutes a poorly timed challenge on Galleotti resulted in a penalty for Bangor. Up stepped Shaun Cavanagh to send the glovesman the wrong way. This was the best thing that could have happened in many ways. Stirred into action the young Reds forced a couple of corners but big Antoni Sarnowski was in commanding form and dealt with the danger with ease. Shaun Cavanagh and Sam Jones both went close to adding a second but on 64 minutes a first change of the afternoon as Alex Boss came on for Christoph Aziamale on the left. Five minutes later the spring heeled Boss had the ball in the net but an offside flag waved. Next Cavanagh volleyed over from a left footed inswinger from Ifan Emlyn Jones. Then right winger Galeotti jinked through the home defence but sent his rising drive crashi Newtown made a double change as the hot weather took its toll and with ten minutes left The Robins No 10 ran clear on goal but lofted over. Two minutes later Cai Owen gave way to the illness that had plagued him all week, Gethin Thomas took over at rightback. Adam Pritchard found Alex Boss who in turn passed to Shaun Cavanagh. His shot was cleared to Guto Williams but he fired wide from eighteen yards. City still had one goal left in them and three minutes from time Sam Jones crashed home after the visibly wilting home defence struggled to clear after a spell of Bangor pressure. And that was about it. The referee blew for time and City celebrated a second league title in as many years, and set up a May Day showdown with Cambrian & Clydach, back at Latham Park.

WP Under 19 League Bangor City 3 v 0 Airbus Three first half goals handed Bangor an advantage they were never going to lose and secured another emphatic home win. And the destroyer in chief of the young Planemakers was Christoph Aziamale. Bangor took the lead on 29 minutes when Christoph Aziamale scored. The visitors suffered a setback on 35 minutes when Tommy Speed was sent off for kicking out after a tackle. Moments later City doubled their advantage as Harry Galeotti netted. Speed is the son of former Leeds and Wales winger/manager Gary Speed. Then on the stroke of half time the game was virtually over as City were awarded a penalty and Chester based youngster Christoph Aziamale got his second from the spot. Moments later the referee blew for the interval with City well placed for an important home win. Half Time Bangor City 3 v 0 Airbus UK With all the goals scored in the opening period it was for both sides to play out a goalless second period as City ran out three nil winners. Credit to the ten men of Airbus who refused to give in and put up a brave showing. This result puts Bangor in a strong position at the top of the Welsh Premier Development League (North) but with two away games to go, at Newtown and then Rhyl. The first of these is at Latham Park this Sunday afternoon, 2nd April 2017, a 2.30pm kick off. Photo above with thanks to Carwyn Edwards

WP Under 19 League Bangor City 4 v 0 Cefn Druids Two goals in each half eased Bangor to a comfortable win over visitors Cefn Druids in a match staged at Treborth. On 23 minutes the young visitors had a chance to draw level when they won a penalty for a foul on Alex Buxton, son o fformer blues favourite Steve Buxton. But Josh Jones sent his spot kick the wrong side of the post and the danger passed. Soon after Matty Tombs had the ball in the net for the young Druids but the offside flag was up. And the Ancients were made to pay the price on 29 minutes when Alex Boss netted after fine build up play involving Harri Hughes and Christoph Aziamale. The half time score stood at two nil to Bangor as the sides swopped ends at the interval. Photo above Cai Owen
Half Time Bangor City 2 v 0 Cefn Druids But any prospects the visitors had of mounting a second half revival disappeared immediately as No 9 Sam Jones fired home left footed for a three nil advantage within a minute of the restart. That was Sam's 18th goal of the season. Eight minutes later it was four nil as Chester based Christoph Aziamale pounced after goalkeeper Danny Lloyd had repelled an initial effort from Harry Galeotti. Of the four goalscorers only centre forward Jones is yet to appear in the blues first team. Manager Dave Cavanagh rang the changes in the final quarter to give the substitutes a taste of the action and at the final whistle the scoreline stood at four nil. City remain top of the Welsh Premier Development North table with three games left to play. Photo above Christoph Aziamale

WP Under 19 League Bangor City 5 v 0 Porthmadog Bangor ran out comfortable winners over visitors Porthmadog and opened up a four point gap at the top of the Development League (North). On 26 minutes it was two nil as goalscorer Jones set up Alex Boss who fired home from close range. With just four minutes to go to the interval it was virtually all over as Alex Boss latched onto a high clearance and netted his second to make it three nil for City. Half Time Porthmadog kept Bangor at bay for the opening twenty minutes or so of the second period but once again Alex Boss strukc after midfield general Ifan Emlyn Jones had hit the crossbar.Bangor City 3 v 0 Porthmadog A wel deserved hatrick for Alex and his 13th goal of the season. Again a period without a goal was punctuated with nine minutes left on the clock as Ifan Emlyn Jones fired home from outside the box for a final scoreline of five nil to the table topping blues. With four games to go City are four points clear of second placed TNS, but anything can happen in the end of season matches so all to play for. |

WP Under 19 League Cambrian & Clydach 4 v 2 Bangor City Bangor were knocked out the FAW Youth Cup against Cambrian & Clydach after Shaun Cavanagh was sent off early in the second half. Even then the match went into extra time at the end of the ninety. Bangor went close almost from the off as Sam Jones saw his shot crash off the crossbar. Then on eleven minutes City had the lead. Shaun Cavanagh shot and Sam Jones turned the ball beyond the home keeper for his sixteenth goal of the season. There were not further goals until four minutes from the interval when Cambrian & Clydach drew level through their striker Samuel Jones. So at the interval the score was all square at one all. Half Time Bangor were down to ten men on 53 minutes when Shaun Cavanagh saw red as he reacted to a challenge.Cambrian & Clydach 1 v 1 Bangor City Midway through the half Antoni Sarnowski pulled off a good save to keep the visitors on level terms but he was beaten on 71 minutes as Samuel Jones netted his second of the afternoon to put the hosts ahead. But on 75 minutes Bangor drew level as Harry Galeotti fired home. Inspired by this strike and perhaps fearing extra time ten man Bangor pushed forward and twice went close through Alex Boss. Moments later Boss was replaced by Adam Evans and soon after the referee blew for time to signal the advent of thirty minutes of extra time. EXTRA TIME
Nine minutes into the added time Samuel Jones made it three two for the home side and completed his hatrick - Bangor convinced he was offside - before he grabbed a fourth on the stroke of half time and made the game safe for the South Wales side. A case of what might have been perhaps but credit to the hosts who move into the semi final stages and a possible date with a professional club. Good luck to them. photos above courtesy Bangor City

WP Under 19 League Llandudno 2 v 4 Bangor City Bangor kept up their fine form with a four two win at Llandudno where the hosts lost two players through red cards in the closing stages. Bangor boosted their line up with inclusion of January wndow signing Yalany Baio and Brazilian striker Rodrigo Branco who had scored at Bala the day before. First team manager Ian Dawes and coach Gary Taylor Fletcher watched from the sidelines. Ten minutes in Harry Galeotti fired a warning shot which hit the post before Rodrigo Branco slid the ball past the Tudno goalkeeper but just missed the target. But on twenty minutes Llandudno took the lead as Osian Jones put the ball beyond Antoni Sarnowski. Bangor replied five minutes later as Shaun Cavanagh picked out Rodrigo Branco who accepted the easy chance. Shaun Cavanagh then scored but saw his effort disallowed and then saw his shot drift wide. Llandudno hit the woodwork as both sides looked to take the lead. Ten minutes before the interval winger Harry Galeotti scored with a fine run and finish but any hopes City had of taking an interval lead disappeared as former Rhos United midfielder Ryan Vaughan levelled the scores. So all to play for and a chance for the coaches to have their say. Half Time With everything still to play for an early advantage would benefit either side.Llandudno 2 v 2 Bangor City Ten minutes after the restart Bangor regained the lead as Christoph Aziamale notched his first goal for the club. On the hour mark Guto Williams replaced centreback Caio Hywel as City continued to press for a decisive third goal. Five minutes later Sam Jones came on for right winger Harry Galeotti. Llandudno forced a good save from Antoni Sarnowski before on seventy minutes a final change for City as Alex Boss came on for Christoph Azimale. With ten minutes left Shaun Cavanagh was fouled in the penalty area by Llandudno Junction youngster Callum Jones who was sent off. The leading goalscorer stood up and planted the ball home for a 4-2 lead. Alex Boss had been on the wrong end of some rough treatment by the Llandudno defence and one foul too many by former Llandudno Junction defender McKenzie Slaven who also saw red to leave the hosts with eight or so minutes to play with nine men. There was no further scoring and Bangor headed back along the A55 with another win under their belts ahead of a Welsh Cup trip to Cambrian & Clydach next weekend. |

WP Under 19 League Bala Town 3 v 5 Bangor City Bangor hit five in an emphatic win at Bala Town and led two one at the half time break. The break through came for City just before the half hour as they took the lead through leading goalscorer Shaun Cavanagh who had come off the bench during the first team victory over Llandudno the afternoon before. Three minutes later a second goal arrived courtesy of Adam Evans for his fourth goal of the season. The Bala scorer was Llwyngwril youngster Cullen Rodgers so that the half time score was a two one lead for visitors Bangor. Half Time Seven minutes after the restart Shaun Cavanagh bagged his second to stretch the lead to three one to Bangor.Bala Town 1 v 2 Bangor City Bala replied through Joel Darlington to make it 3-2 and keep Bala's hopes alive. Fifteen minutes from time Bangor restored the two goal advantage as Adam Evans grabbed his second of the match. But Bala were not beaten and Joel Darlington notched his second to make it four three with time running out. But any worries City had about going home with all three points disappeared as Adam Evans scored a late winner to clinch his hatrick. So another free scoring performance for the young blues who have scored seventeen goals in four Development North League games in January. Well done! |

WP Under 19 League Bangor City 3 v 2 The New Saints Bangor won three two again as they had a week earlier against Connahs Quay but this time they did it the hard way from two nil down. The visitors included goalkeeper Andy Wycherley, midfielder James Jones and striker Jacob Farleigh who had been on the bench for the first team in the League Cup Final the day before. For City goalkeeper Antoni Sarnowski, leading goalscorer Shaun Cavanagh and winger Alex Boss all boast first team experience. So an even game was in prospect. The visitors went close when tall midfielder James Jones saw his long range effort well saved by blues goalkeeper Antoni Sarnowski. But it was TNS who took the lead inside twenty minutes when Jacob Farley netted from a free kick. Five minutes later the impressive Sam Jones went close for Bangor from a corner but could not squeeze the ball home. With half time five minutes away Bangor forced a good save from Andy Wycherley before Guto Williams fired over after a goalmouth melee. At the last City had a penalty appeal for a foul on Cai Owen waved away and it was the Shropshire side who went for the interval with a slender lead. Half Time The
first action of the second period saw Antoni Sarnowski at full stretch
to deny his former team mates a second before Harry Galeotti released
Alex Boss but Wycherley kept him at bay.Bangor City 0 v 1 The New Saints Moments later though, on the hour mark TNS doubled their lead as Andy Vale scored following a swift counter attack. Shaun Cavanagh claimed he was fouled in the build up and was shown the yellow card for protesting to the official. On 71 minutes Bangor were awarded a penalty kick which was converted by Shaun Cavanagh to halve the deficit. and herald a shift in momentum. Two minutes later Sam Jones added to his growing reputation as he levelled the scores with a left footed volley. To add to their woes the visitors had defender Michael Owen sent off for a challenge on the ever dangerous Sam Jones. Three minutes further and Jones turned provider for Alex Boss to beat Wycherley and turn the game on its head. City threatened again through goalscorer Cavanagh but his effort flew narrowly wide. In the closing minutes the acrobatic Wycherley denied Sam Jones his second goal with a great save but in the final analysis it mattered not as the final whistle blew on a big win for Bangor over their U19 rivals. |

WP Under 19 League Bangor City 3 v 2 Connahs Quay Bangor overcame tough opposition in the form of visitors Connahs Quay who fought back at the end to leave the blues happy to hear the final whistle. The action was largely confined to the second half as two evenly matched sides failed to break the deadlock in the opening halg hour. But on 34 minutes Bangor broke the deadlock as Sam Jones capitalised on a mistake by Karter Cutler Evans to slot home after a fine team move to make sure that the young citizens led at the interval. Photos with thanks to Bangor City Half Time The second half was an altogether different affair.Bangor City 1 v 0 Connahs Quay Twenty minutes into the second half Harry Galeotti opened up the Nomads defence for Alex Boss to score and put City into what looked like a decisive three nil lead. But on 72 minutes the visitors were awarded a penalty which Sam Haley won and scored to make the scoreline 3-1. With just eleven minutes left on the clock the home side had more cause for concern as Sam Haley netted from six yards to reduce the deficit to a single goal at 3-2. Energetic Menai Bridge youngster Sam Jones charged down a goalkeepers clearance but the ball bounced to safety and eventually the referee blew for time and the young blues celebrated a hard fought victory of one of their main rivals.

WP Under 19 League Conwy Borough 1 v 6 Bangor City Bangor hit Co And for a change it was a warmer winter's day at The Morfa for the players and those watching to enjoy. The new year had seen one of the outstanding young talents Sion Bradley leave for Porthmadog (on loan) so there were questions to be answered by the City youngsters. The first of those answers came with just seven minutes played when Sam Jones scored from Cai Owen's corner kick. Leading goalscorer Shaun Cavanagh hit the post before play had to be stopped for repairs to the goal net. Bangor were in total control now and looking to add to their opening goal. But on 28 minutes the lead was two nil as Alex Boss was on hand to convert the ever dangerous Harry Galeotti's cross. Eight minutes later it was three nil for Bangor as Guto Williams finished from close range. As first time grew closer Conwy won a corner but City stood firm and as the referee blew for half time it was Bangor who led three nil. Goalscorers Sam Jones and behind him Alex Boss

Within minutes Bangor replaced goalscorer Shaun Cavanagh with Adam Evans. On 61 minutes it was five nil as Alex Boss netted his second with Harry Galeotti again the provider. With 68 gone a double change for Bangor as Meredydd Derbyshire and Gruff Owen came on for Deegan Booton and Harry Galeotti. On 75 minutes left on the clock Conwy repelled an initial effort from Cai Owen but Sam Jones was on hand to grab his third and make the score six nil. But the defiant Musslemen had the last word. With ten minutes remaining Cai Owen limped off and with City down to ten men Conwy netted from a corner kick to make the final score six one. So more answers than worries for Bangor who continue their fine form in this first fixture of 2017. Caio Hywel rises highest and heads for goal

FAW Welsh Youth Cup Bangor City 3 v 1 Airbus Bangor swept Airbus aside to reach the Fourth Round of the Welsh Youth Cup with leading goalscorer Shaun Cavanagh notching a hatrick. City were soon into the attack as Sion Bradley forced a good save from the visitors goalkeeper which was turned away for a corner. But two minutes later, on 25, it was advantage Bangor as Shaun Cavanagh broke the deadlock with a well flighted freekick. Next Sion Bradley went close once again as he turned in the box but lifted his shot over. Then goalscorer Cavanagh hit the frame of the goal after good approach play from winger Harry Galeotti.

WP Under 19 League Cefn Druids 0 v 5 Bangor City Bangor continued their fine form on the road with an emphatic win at The Rock against Cefn Druids. And they did so despite being frustrated by their hosts in a goalless first period. The closest City came to breaking the deadlock in the first half was a header from Shaun Cavanagh following some good approach play down the left involving Harry Hughes and Sion Bradley but Josh Williams in the Druids goal was untroubled. The best the young Druids could manage were some long range efforts which scarcely worried blues goalkeeper Sarnowski. So a rare goalless first half for City on the artificial surface at The Rock.

moved on City added three for more despite making a number of changes.Porthmadog 0 v 6 Bangor City The first change came five minutes after the restart as Jamie Roberts made way for Math Roberts.To give them credit the home side held out for half an hour of the second period but with twelve minutes left to go it was 6-0 as Math Roberts latched onto a Shaun Cavanagh pass to score his first goal for City at this level. It was now time for the defenders to join in the scoring as first Caio Hywel (on 52 minutes) and then partner in crime Adam Pritchard (on 56) who made it eight and then nine nil respectively. On the hour mark a second change as Adam Evans came on for Sion Bradley and finally with fifteen minutes to go Mark Dunn replaced Sam Jones.

FAW Welsh Youth Cup Bangor City 4 v 4 Connahs Quay (Bangor won 5-4 on penalties) Bangor had to fight to the very last to beat Connahs Quay who must have thought they were threw to the next round as they led 4-2 into added time. But the neversaydie attitude of the young blues against the highly rated Nomads saw them draw level, play out another thirty minutes of extra time, and then win through on penalties. City led two one at the interval as Jamie Roberts opened the scoring in the first minute and Sam Jones added a second midway through the first half. The Connahs Quay goal was scored by Jake Jones. So far so good. PHOTO CREDITS
Half Time But the second half was a different story.Bangor City 2 v 1 Connahs Quay Two minutes after the restart Ifan Emlyn Jones had to be replaced by Deegan Booton and on the hour mark Alex Boss came on in place of Sion Bradley. Unhappily though it was visitors Connahs Quay who scored three times without reply as City struggled to stay in the game. The Nomads goals came thanks to a brace from Conor Harwood either side of a strike from Tom Bridges. Going into added time the scoreline stood at 4-2 to the Nomads and City seemed down and out. But a determined late charge led by Jamie Roberts who netted his second of the game - the first moments after kick off - to close the gap to 4-3. And then against all odds substitute Alex Boss levelled the scores in the fifth minute of added time to plunge the match into 30 minutes of extra time. There was no score in the added half hour which meant the dreaded penalty shoot out. After goalkeeper Antoni Sarnowski saved the opening penalty from Connahs Quay it was up to the blues to keep their heads, which in due course Harry Galeottie, Adam Pritchard, Alex Boss anbd Shaun Cavanagh all did which set up Jamie Roberts who netted the fifth to see City through. And as it turned out for a home date with Airbus in the next round. |

Having led twice this must have felt more like two points dropped than one gained but nevertheless a point against one of the stronger sides in the league. |
