Cup thrashing...

Cardiff City 4 Bangor City 0, Sunday 18th April 2004, at Caersws

Bangor were comprehensively outplayed in this Welsh Cup semi-final clash in mid-Wales. Cardiff took the initiative from the start and dominated the game, particularly through the middle. However, they could not make possession count as they came up against a stubborn Bangor defence they managed to keep the sides level at half-time.

The South Wales team continued to dominate after the break and on 55 minutes they were finally rewarded when Fishlock picked up on a mix up between defender and keeper to score from a back pass. Ten minutes later they doubled their lead after confusion from a corner and there was no coming back for Bangor. With five minutes left Cardiff scored two more to claim their place in the final against Newtown.

Bangor 4-4-2/3-5-2 Sara Lacey, Gill Smith (capt), Cerys Gadd (Susie Cunningham), Alwen Williams, Kim Broadbent, Tania Jones, Siwan Elenid, Elen King, Mel Prince, Sophie Craig (Danni Keegan), Ailsa Orlik (Elain Owen)

Bangor to face Cardiff in semi

Corwen 1 Bangor City 5, Sunday 22nd February 2004

Bangor beat Corwen in a scrappy game to go on and face holders Cardiff in the semi-final. Playing on a bumpy pitch and against a strong wind Bangor found it difficult to play fluent football but a good move saw Orlik open the scoring with a sweetly struck shot. King scored the second after a clever flick from a corner to leave Bangor two up at the break.

In the second half Alwen Williams made it three with a clever lob, Siwan Elenid scored direct from a corner and King notched her second of the game. Corwen did grab a consolation near the end.
