Bala Town secured a vital 3-1 away win against Y Rhyl 1879 in the JD Cymru North on Saturday. The victory lifts them into third place in the league standings with 18 points from their opening eight fixtures.
The match at Belle Vue was goalless at half-time before Bala found their rhythm after the break. They scored three times in the second half to overpower their hosts, who managed a single consolation goal. The result extends a positive run of form for the Lakesiders, who have now won three of their last five league outings.
Climbing the table
This win was key for Bala Town's league position. They now sit third in the FAW Championship, just three points behind the leaders Brickfield Rangers. Their record shows six wins and two defeats from eight games, with 15 goals scored and 10 conceded.
The team's recent form has been mixed but this result provides momentum. It followed a 1-0 away win at Penrhyncoch on September 15th and a heavy 5-2 defeat at Denbigh Town just four days earlier. That Denbigh match saw Nathan Burke and Jordan Owen on the scoresheet for Bala. Consistency will be key as they chase the top spots.
Looking ahead
Attention now turns to the next challenge at Maes Tegid. Bala Town host Mold Alexandra on September 26th in what promises to be a tight contest against the side currently fifth in the table. The full schedule of upcoming games is available on our fixtures list.
With the squad showing they can grind out results on the road, confidence will be high. The team has demonstrated an ability to bounce back from setbacks quickly, a trait that will serve them well in a long season. Securing points away from home is often the difference in a promotion race.
Bala Town's next fixture is at home to Mold Alexandra on Saturday, September 26th.
