Caernarfon Town secured their place in the Welsh Cup last 32 with a 3-1 comeback win at Flint Town United on Saturday. The holders fell behind early but produced a commanding second-half performance to progress.

Tunde Owolabi gave the hosts a fifth-minute lead at Essity. The rest of the first half was even, with Flint's Mikey Burke hitting the post and Caernarfon's Adrian Cieslewicz seeing a cross rebound off the bar. Manager Richard Davies's side soon took control after the break. Goalkeeper Jack Flint made a series of good stops to deny Paulo Mendes, Sion Bradley and Zack Clarke, but the pressure told.

Clarke equalised from close range in the 66th minute for his 13th goal of the campaign. Seven minutes later, he was brought down in the box by Harry Dean and Bradley converted the resulting penalty. Noah Edwards struck the upright late on as Caernarfon saw out a comfortable victory.

"A strong and dominant second half display ensured they won comfortably enough," said Davies. The win continues a positive run for the fourth-placed Premier League side, who have 26 points from 13 games. They are now on a two-game winning streak ahead of their next league fixture away to Airbus UK on 30 October. This latest victory over Flint Town United, a 3-1 result on Saturday 17 October, is part of a recent run of three wins and a draw from their last five matches across all competitions.

However, they remain 11 points behind the league leaders, The New Saints. Their next challenge is a league match away to Airbus UK, who are currently eighth, on Friday 30 October.
