Comfortable opening to the year for Reserves
Reserves 5 Dolgellau 0
The Reserves first game of the new year was in the end a comfortable 5-0 win over Dolgellau.

Pressure finally told on 35 mins when Mumford, Rodway and Macfadden linked up well to set up Carroll to slot home the first goal of 2010.
It could have been 2-0 in the first minute of the second half with Carroll and Mumford both going close.
The game changed on the hour when Dolgellau were awarded a penalty, Dave Maguire pulling off a great save to give himself some much needed confidence and Newtown never looked back from there.
Two minutes later Jed Rodway was put through and cooly chipped the advancing keeper. Newtown were then awarded a penalty when Carroll was tripped and he got up to convert,

Now fully on top Newtown added two further goals through Rodway and Mumby.
