Bangor FC's Injury Concerns Continue Amidst Win Over Ruthin
Bangor FC's injury concerns continue to mount as they secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Ruthin Town at Maes Tegid on Friday night. The win sees Bangor FC remain one of four teams with a perfect record after the opening two rounds, alongside Newtown, Porthmadog, and Brickfield Rangers.
The match was marked by a series of injuries, including a setback for goalkeeper Rhys Williams, who was forced off through injury. With no specialist goalkeeper among the substitutes, forward John Owen was handed the gloves, adapting admirably to produce a fine save to tip a free-kick over the bar.
The game swung decisively in Bangor FC's favour early in the second half with two goals in three minutes. Lindfield broke the deadlock in the 49th minute with a close-range header, followed by new signing Iwan Lewis doubling the advantage just three minutes later.
Bangor FC's injury concerns continued when Naim Arsan was forced off and replaced by Charlie Fisher, who scored the dramatic late winner against Bangor on the opening weekend. Ruthin remained dangerous, but Bangor FC stood firm to secure another valuable three points.
