PRESTEIGNE’S canter up the table gained momentum with a hard-fought victory at inform Banw.
The visitors took the lead when the in form Nick Evans netted from close range, after a low cross from Liam Jones, following good work down the left.
Jones was a constant threat down the wing and was denied a penalty when he beat a couple of defenders and went down, but was booked for diving.
Presteigne doubled their lead when Shane Sutton headed home Danny Tolley’s corner, while the ex-Newtown ace nearly had a second, only to head another Tolley corner against the crossbar.
Banw’s chances were sparse, with a rare opportunity falling for Chris Roberts who skied high and wide from distance
