Flint Town United started their new league campaign with a narrow 3-2 defeat at Llandudno. The team's new signings, Temi Ajibola and Namory Kane, were not enough to secure a win. Lee Fowler's team began the season with a slow start, falling behind after just five minutes. Adam Stephens got on the end of a ball forward and his lofted effort went beyond keeper Jack Flint.
What Happened?
Flint Town United gradually found their feet and were soon level. A quarter-of-an-hour had elapsed when Tunde Owolabi's pace took him clear and his effort from an angle found the corner of the net. VAR played its part for the first time when the visitors took the lead. Just as Owolabi was releasing his shot, Anthony Stephens caught him with a lunging challenge. Referee Alex Livesey reviewed the incident on the pitchside monitor and awarded a penalty, which was converted by Joe Malkin.

Then, in stoppage time, Mark Cadwallader finished off a swift counter-attack with Llandudno's winning goal. During the build-up to the match, Flint announced a further couple of signings with Temi Ajibola and Namory Kane their latest recruits.
