Honors Even in Game of Two Halves
League Cup Result (1st leg)
Saturday 21 Jan 2012
Prestatyn Town 1 - 1 Newtown Afc
J Fisher-Cooke 28'          62' Callum Wright
In a game dominated by strong wind and rain, both sides took advantage of the elements in a proverbial game of two halves. Prestatyn held the upper hand up to half time and held the lead thanks to Jon Fisher-Cooke's 24th minute header.
Former Robin Ross Stephens also saw a speculative 30 yarder almost catch Newtown Keeper Nick Thomas off guard before hitting the woodwork, But Steve Blenkinsop nearly levelled on the stroke of half time when he just failed to connect with a Gareth Partridge cross and then fired over the bar from a shot on the turn.
In the second period the wind gained more strength and blew 3 Newtown corners into the crowd.
But returning midfielder Callum Wright hit the crossbar with a rising drive and then produced a clinical finish after a strong run.
Seasiders keeper Jon Hill-Dunt made two good  saves, first palming a Nick Rushton shot around the post and tipping a goal bound effort from Jamie Price over the Bar as the Visitors finished the game with their tails up.
The Second Leg is to be played Wednesday the 1st Febuary 2012 at 7:30 at Latham Park. With a chance for the Robins to progress to the next round and a game gainst Bangor City waiting, the game promises to be a lively affair. 

Clean Sweep for the Academy and Youth Teams
All 3 academy sides come away with terrific wins on Sunday 22nd of January 2012.
Newtown under 12s travelled to Bala and game away 3-0 winners
The Under 14's were also convincing winners with a 2-0 win and the Under 16's made it the Treble with a 4-1 win.

The Youths had a sterner test against Penrhyncoch youths at Latham Park in the CWFA Cup. Both Teams started lively but a Joe Evans 30......no 35........no 40 yard screamer opened the account for the young Robins. Minutes later and a penalty was awarded to Newtown, Up stepped Elliot Jones, unfortunately it wasn’t to be and Newtown remained at 1-0 up. With Penrhyncoch down to 10 men, a bit of Elliot Jones magic saw Newtown go 2-0 nil up. To make things interesting and it wouldn't be a cup game with out the excitement of a close game; the away team played some nice football and had the share of possession to grab a goal back 2-1. This then kick-started a frantic final 15 minutes with Luke Jarman the town Keeper pulling off some great saves and Newtown building pressure on the battered defence of Penrhyncoch. This pressure resulted in another penalty being awarded to Newtown by Referee Sam Richards. The away team were distraught and vented their anger in a verbal tirade against the ref which resulted in them being down to 9 men. Joe Bell stepped forward and slotted the ball into the bottom right hand corner with a well taken penalty. 3-1 to Newtown with 5 minutes plus injury time to go. It was not all over yet with Penrhyncoch pulling back another goal to make it 3-2. With Referee Sam Richards having a busy day with 8 yellows and 2 reds shown, sure he was delighted to blow the final whistle  which saw Dave Jarmans Youths progress through to the next round where they will meet Cearsws (at Cearsws). Final score 3-2 and a very enjoyable game.
