J. Malkin came off the bench to score a dramatic 90th-minute winner as Flint Town United secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory away to Haverfordwest County AFC on Saturday. The three points lift Flint to 13th in the Cymru Premier, now on eight points from 12 games, and extend their winning run to two matches.
Key moments
The match at the Dynamite Bridge Meadow Stadium was a tense, physical affair punctuated by a flurry of cards. Flint's Ben Woollam was booked early on, and the visitors saw I. Modi and H. McGahey both cautioned within two minutes of each other before the break. The game's major turning point arrived in the 67th minute when Haverfordwest's C. Shephard was shown a straight red card, leaving the hosts to play the final stages with ten men.
Flint manager Neil Gibson had already made a tactical switch in the 22nd minute, bringing on C. Wilson for Woollam. He then introduced Malkin for B. Hughes just after the hour mark, a move that ultimately decided the contest. With the clock ticking down, Malkin found the net to snatch all three points for the Silkmen.
The result provides a significant morale boost as Flint Town United prepare for their next challenge. The team's recent form, with two wins from their last five, offers a platform to build on as they look to climb the standings.
