A 2-2 home draw against Cardiff Met was good enough to earn the point that guaranteed Flint a top half finish in the JD Cymru Premier League for this season, a tremendous achievement by Neil Gibson and his staff.
Flint’s very own super hero, Callum Bratley, swung into action, deep into stoppage time to net a deserved equaliser for the Silkmen and bring the house down at the Essity Stadium.
Having suffered two back to back league defeats for the first time this season just before the enforced break, this win at Barry was the perfect tonic for the Silkmen, boosting their hopes of securing a top six finish.
In what turned out to be a Christmas Cracker of a game (sorry, Xmas puns compulsory!), Flint and Caernarfon starred in a seven game thriller, which the visitors just about edged in the end.
A hugely controversial 1st half penalty proved a pivotal moment in this game, which swung it in favour of the hosts.
The Silkmen mastered the difficult conditions at a rainy, windswept Essity Stadium to gain a deserved victory over their west Wales opponents
For the third time this season, Bala came out on top against Flint, having previously won at the Essity in the league cup and our initial league game.
In a game in which they struggled to get out of second gear for long periods, Flint came away from the Rock with a share of the points.
In what always looked as though it was going to be a tricky game on paper, Flint produced an assured performance to claim all three points.
