Garside and Reed haunt Rhyl.
The Principality Building Society Welsh Premier.
07.02.10 Bangor City 3-1 Rhyl FC Att: 881
Former lilywhites Craig Garside and Jamie Reed came back to haunt their former club as the Citizens gained sweet revenge for that 5-1 drubbing at Belle Vue earlier in the season. Rhyl boss Greg Strong gave debuts to former Altrincham defender Andy Owens, and on-loan Oldham
minutes to rub salt into the visitors wounds at 3-0. Shaun Dowling’s strong run into the box then produced a penalty for lilywhites on 82 minutes, which Matthew Williams tucked away for a scant consolation. The lilywhites misery was further compounded when referee Ceri Richards sent off midfielder Phillip Doran in the closing stages. Despite the defeat, Rhyl still hold third position in the league whilst the Citizens stay in ninth place. Newtown AFC are the next visitors to Belle Vue on Valentines Day in the Principality Building Society Welsh Premier.

The lilywhites struggled to gain a foothold in the game as the Citizens, spurred on by a large partisan home crowd gained comfortable 3-1 victory. Former Rhyl-man Garside gave the hosts the lead on 38 minutes before Reed fired in from the edge of the box seconds after the restart to make it 2-0 at half-time. Tricky City winger Sion Edwards tucked away Lee Hunt’s square ball on 65
