A last gasp Mark Jones goal for Aberystwyth Town shattered the Nomads dreams of a place in next seasons Europa League.

Nomads coming into the game on the back of a four-match winning streak took the lead after just 15 minutes, it followed a fast paced start by both teams eager to get their noses ahead early on.

Aber’s Wyn Thomas tried to knock the ball back to Mike Lewis, his pass was too short and Sean Miller nipped in to make it 0-1.

Just four minutes later the Seasiders were awarded a controversial penalty, Chris Venables converted in the bottom corner despite Nomads keeper McCormick guessing the right direction.

Chances fell to both sides during the first half with the Nomads having the better of the play, both sides were cancelling each other out though playing similar formations and breaking on the counter attack.

Early in the second half Town’s Geoff Kellaway controlled a long through ball from Luke Sherbon firing at goal for Terry McCormick making the save with his feet.

Nomads Sean Miller then created a fantastic opportunity running 50 yards down passing the ball across the six-yard box from the touchline for Chris Davies to put out for a corner.

The resulting corner kick was whipped in from on loan man Ryan Fraughan and fellow TNS player Steve Evans headed past Mike Lewis on 69 minutes to put the visitors 2-1 up.
