Caernarfon Town win first ever Welsh Cup with commanding victory

Rhodri Evans
Caernarfon Town made history by beating Flint Town United 3-0 at Rodney Parade to win the Welsh Cup for the first time.
The Cofis produced a blistering start to the final, taking control inside the opening 20 minutes with three decisive goals. Sion Bradley opened the scoring on seven minutes, showing composure to finish after a perfectly weighted through ball split the Flint defence.
Matty Jones doubled the advantage shortly after with a superb free-kick that struck the post on its way in, before Adrian Cieslewicz added a third on 17 minutes, heading home from close range following a well-worked set-piece to put Caernarfon firmly in control.
Flint Town United struggled to recover from the early setback but did create moments of their own, with Connor Roberts producing a key save to deny Michael Burke.
At the other end, Jack Flint was called into action on several occasions to prevent the scoreline from becoming more emphatic, notably tipping another Jones free-kick onto the crossbar.
The second half saw a more competitive display from Flint, who briefly had the ball in the net only for the effort to be ruled out for offside.
However, Caernarfon remained composed and continued to manage the game effectively, limiting clear opportunities and maintaining their three-goal advantage.
“Just a pinch me moment to put Caernarfon’s name among them that have won the cup,” Town manager Richard Davies told BBC Radio Wales.
“An unbelievable achievement for everybody in the town and for the community.”
“I just asked them before they were going out to just represent the town and to give the passion, commitment and pride that Caernarfon is about,” Davies added.
“The boys gave me that in abundance and I couldn’t be prouder of them, the way they executed the game plan, the way they played and the quality of the goals.
“I couldn’t be prouder of them.”
