BARMOUTH and Dyffryn United could take a lot of positives from their 1-0 defeat against Lock Stock Welsh Alliance division one visitors Llandudno Albion.

Lee Ellis’ deflected header from a corner wrong-footed keeper Adam Walters for the only goal of the game on 52 minutes, after Barmouth had been severely tested in the first half by some intense pressure.

In the home defence, Jonno Harrison and Steve Bratt had played key roles as Barmouth managed to contain the visitors, and at the other end Paul Lewis was unfortunate not to have been given a penalty when sent sprawling in the box.

After Albion’s Ellis had made the breakthrough, Carl Ryan’s dominated the rest of the game, but clear-cut chances were scarce, even though Lewis went close with a header from a corner near the end.
