Radnor and Bow Street share the spoils after a thriller

Radnor Valley and Bow Street shared the spoils following an eight-goal Lock Stock Ardal North East thriller at The Bypass.

The high-flying Magpies had the first opportunity of the afternoon when Josh Taylor hooked the ball over the crossbar from close-range in the second minute.

That was an early warning signs for the hosts and they went behind eight minutes later when Courtney Perkins netted with a shot on the turn that arrowed into the corner of the net.

The Goats were back on level terms seven minutes later when Joey Price's free-kick was parried by Lewis James in the Bow Street goal and Matt Croose was in the right place to force the rebound over the line.

Jack Clarke broke into the penalty area from the right flank in the 22nd minute, but was denied by James at his near post.

Bow Street responded as Rhys Hughes was denied by Otto Jones in the Radnor goal after being played through into the penalty area.

The ensuing corner was partially cleared by the Goats' defence, but Jordan Perry directed an effort wide of the target from the edge of the penalty area.

The Magpies regained the lead when Ryan Evans headed home from Perkins' 29th-minute corner after Jones had turned Taylor Watts' 25 yard free-kick over the crossbar.

However, the New Radnor men were only trailing for three minutes as Clarke ran on to a Henry Shipley pass and clinically finished past James.

The Ceredigion outfit went ahead for a third time in the first-half when Taylor rifled a 25-yard drive past Jones.

Jones then had to make a smart save to turn over a Ryan Evans effort from the edge of the penalty area in stoppage-time.

Clarke broke into the Bow Street penalty area five minutes after the restart, but was unable to keep his shot down.

Ieuan Price directed a header wide of the target from a corner before James was forced to punch away a drive from the same player.

Radnor were enjoying a positive start after the break as Shipley tried his luck from nearly 30 yards before drilling a low effort wide.

The Magpies responded in the 63rd minute, following a relatively quiet start to the second-half, as Hughes broke into the penalty area, but was denied by Jones.

But the hosts levelled for a third time when Lewis Morris netted from Joey Price's 64th-minute corner.

The Magpies hit back and Perry's shot was turned over the crossbar before an effort from Taylor was blocked.

Clarke drilled a low shot across the face of goal after a corner was only partially cleared by Bow Street before Joey Price put the Goats ahead for the first time after firing a low shot past James.

But the Magpies pulled themselves level to rescue a point when a free-kick into the penalty area was not cleared and Tomos Roberts found the back of the net.

The visitors went close in the final minute when Taylor was played through on goal, but he directed his shot over the crossbar.

The New Radnor men had their own opportunity to claim victory, in the sixth minute of stoppage-time. when Price's free-kick was parried and substitute Owen Bradford placed the rebound over the crossbar.
