Bala continue dream start in top flight.

WELSH PREMIER Bala Town 2 Caersws 0 NEWCOMERS Bala continued their flying start as they moved joint top with a hard-fought victory at Maes Tegid, writes John Bridgwater.

"It was a hard battle, they were well organised and physically very competitive but I felt we deserved the points as they did not open us up," said Bala manager Colin Caton.

"It's a fantastic start for us to be top of the table, but we're not getting carried away."

John Toner's 48th minute volley broke the deadlock following a long clearance by goalkeeper Leon Bimpson before former Bluebird Ross Jefferies sealed the win with a close-range header after a handling error from keeper Dave Jones.

The one downside was the dismissal of Warren Duckett on 55 minutes for a challenge on Caersws full-back Matthew Roberts.

Stuart Hayes and Toner both had other chances to ensure a comfortable victory and Peter Moore had a goal ruled out.

At the other end,Geraint Lewis' 30-yard effort was superbly tipped over the bar by Bimpson.
