Ammanford 0-2 Connah's Quay

Connah's Quay Nomads enjoyed their third successive win in Cymru Premier by beating new boys Ammanford in Saturday's lunchtime kick off.

John Disney's side started the league campaign with a home defeat by Caernarfon, but added a success at the Recreation Ground to wins against Holywell and Trefelin.

In the solitary Saturday fixture, Callum West side-footed the visitors into the lead from the penalty spot in the 44th minute after Hussein Mehasseb was brought down by Babucar Sauane.

Harry Franklin was denied by the bar and Iwan Murray's long-range effort was acrobatically tipped over by Luke Martin as the Nomads pushed for a second.

They kept pushing and eventually sealed the win on 81 minutes when Franklin beat Martin to a long ball, dinked past the goalkeeper and tapped in.

The Nomads climb to fourth while Ammanford are 12th.
