And Bangor's blues were compounded by an injury to Sion Edwards who was taken to hospital following a tenth minute challenge from Kris Thomas, who had been booked a couple of minutes earlier.

And a spot kick save from Neil Thomas added to City's woes, with two bad goals defensively earning Carmarthen the points.

Danny Thomas put the hosts ahead on just seven minutes when he cut in from the left of the box and his 25 yard effort seemed to catch Paul Smith wrong footed.

City's first threat came on 27 minutes when Ashley Stott combined with Karl Noon, but he was unable to find Les Davies, who had come on for the injured Edwards.

It was the catalyst for a good spell by Bangor and Davies set off on a fifty metre run from his own half, shrugging off the challenges off three defenders before keeper Neil Thomas saved with his legs ten yards out on 36 minutes.

City should have scored in first half stoppage time when Limbert's low cross eluded Stott at the near post, while Noon failed to connect a couple of yards out at the far post.

The hosts went two up on 51 minutes after Smith's legs denied Danny Thomas just ten yards out, but from the resultant flag kick on the left, Tim Hicks flicked on for the unmarked Thomas to head home his second from close range.

Smith denied Paul Keddle ten minutes later, while Sasha Walters was lucky to receive just a yellow from referee Mark Whitby by hauling down Limbert with a text book rugby tackle as he broke down the left.

City were thrown a lifeline on 74 minutes when a Coombes challenge on Limbert was punished by a penalty but Noon put his shot too near to keeper Neil Thomas who saved to his left.

A minute later, Stott put a measured effort from the edge of the box inches wide, but Smith denied Hicks at the other end following a slip by Lee Webber.

City pressed for a goal in the closing ten minutes, Noon set up Walsh but his 15 yard effort went the wrong side of the upright, but Davies released Limbert on 86 minutes and the City skipper slipped the ball past Thomas from fifteen yards.

Michael Johnson almost pinched a point in stoppage time from a Peter Hoy cross, but Thomas managed to get in the way.
