Town won a free kick after Bryan Roberts handled the ball just inside the Conwy half, and Sam’s free kick into the area towards Matty Harvey was intercepted before Harvey could get a head to it. Conwy then had a good move, passing the ball around the middle of the park before Bryan Roberts through ball for Corrig McGonigle to chase was picked up by Andy Metcalf and the chance was gone. A few minutes later, another good move saw Roberts try to feed the ball through to Roberts, but the referee raised his flag for offside.
