JD Cymru Premier
Saturday 22nd January 2005 | 2:30pm
Deeside Stadium, Connah's Quay | Attendance: 125
RYAN Crawford made his debut one to remember as he scored two second-half goals to sink Porthmadog.
Undefeated in seven, the visitors made a bright start against ring-rusty Nomads who had seen no action since before the turn of the year.
After Carl Owen had fluffed a clear chance to put Viv Williams' men ahead, Lee Webber made no mistake when he headed in Mike Foster's corner.
Steve Jones rattled Craig Bryan's post but Nomads bounced back and when Crawford released Ben Heath his cross was headed home by Andy Griffiths.
Tommy Mutton missed two good second-half chances for Quay, with Gareth Parry firing wide for Port, but when Gerard McGuigan could only parry a Mutton strike, Crawford was on hand to tap in the rebound.
The Traeth men responded with heavy pressure on Nomads' goal and only Crawford's injury time goal allowed the home side to breathe easily.
