| Bangor's ex-Lillies sink arch-rivals Rhyl |
| Sunday 07 February 2010 |
TWO of Bangor City's ex-Lilywhites, Craig Garside and Jamie Reed, scored two of the goals that helped sink arch-rivals Rhyl on Sunday.
 The Citizens gained revenge for a 5-1 defeat at home to Rhyl last season in front of a crowd of 882 at Farrar Road, but remain in ninth place, after winning the Welsh Premier's biggest derby clash 3-1. Garside headed the Blues in front from Eddie Jebb's cross on 38 minutes, with Reed chipping keeper Jack Cudworth for the second inside a minute for his 11th goal of the season. Sion Edwards rubbed salt in the visitors' wounds by grabbing the third from Lee Hunt's pass on 65 minutes, but Matty Williams got a consolation from the penalty spot eight minutes from time - also for his 11th goal of the campaign. And, to add to Rhyl's misery, Phil Doran was red-carded in the closing moments. Rhyl player-boss Greg Strong fielded a new-look line-up with debuts for new signings Andy Owens from Altrincham and on-loan Oldham Athletic central defender Phil Ojapah. Another former Rhyl player, striker Hunt, made his first start for Bangor following his recent move from Belle Vue, but failed to score against his old team-mates.
