Aberystwyth 0 Welshpool 0

A SHARE of the spoils was enough to see Aberystwyth Town through to the knockout stages of the Welsh Premier League Cup and eliminate Welshpool.

Both sides enjoyed early chances before Aberystwyth settled to enjoy the better of the first half without being able to break down a resolute visiting defence.

Steve Rogers forced a 10th minute save from home goalkeeper Richard Morgan before Andy Evans fired wide at the other end following good work by debutant striker Stuart Fraser.

As Aberystwyth gained the initiative, Craig Jones and Evans again went close but they were unable to achieve the breakthrough.
