Richard Taylor reviews today's Welsh Premier clash between Afan Lido and Porthmadog from the Runtech Stadium. Lido gained their first 3 points of the season courtesy of an early Kevin Bartley strike, condemning Port' to their first defeat of the season.

LIDO 1 CPD PORTMADOG 0 - MATCH REPORT

These were the three points that we should
have taken back from Newtown, belated but better late than
never.
Kevin Bartley's seventh minute goal, a neat shot past
goalkeeper McGuigan, was all that separated the two teams in
the end.
A poor game for the neutral spectator, confined to a midfield
struggle for much of the first half and a long-ball battle for
the second. Lido deserved the three points; Porthmadog played
some good football at times but they never really threatened
to break through the Lido lines.
Lido always looked the more threatening on
the attack but very few chances were created at either end,
making a 1-0 scoreline a fair reflection on a difficult match.
Lido are home to Carmarthen in the First Round of the League
Cup on Tuesday evening.
