Newtown AFC delivered a stellar performance at Latham Park on Saturday, April 13th, as they triumphed over Caernarfon with an impressive 5-0 win.

The stands were filled with fervent supporters, with an attendance of 410, witnessing a commanding display by the home team.

From the onset, Newtown displayed their determination to secure a victory, dominating possession and applying relentless pressure on the Caernarfon defense. The breakthrough came in the 35th minute when Aaron Williams found the back of the net, setting the tone for what would be a dominant performance.

Williams continued to showcase his prowess in front of goal, adding another goal in the 54th minute, further extending Newtown's lead. The onslaught didn't stop there, with George Hughes adding his name to the scoresheet in the 63rd minute, amplifying the home team's advantage.

Caernarfon struggled to contain Newtown's attacking prowess, and their task was made even more daunting when Zeli Ismail converted a penalty in the 76th minute, further widening the goal margin. Despite their valiant efforts, Caernarfon couldn't find a way past Newtown's resilient defense.

The icing on the cake came deep into stoppage time when Louis Robles sealed Newtown's victory with a goal in the 90th minute, capping off a memorable performance for the home team.

With this emphatic win, Newtown AFC now sits comfortably in 4th place in the league standings, boasting 41 points. Their next challenge awaits them as they gear up to face Cardiff Met on April 21st.
