Caernarfon Town began their Welsh Cup defence with a 3-1 win over Flint Town United in the second round.

The highly-anticipated replay of last season's final saw the holders go behind after just five minutes when Tunde Owolabi struck from close range past keeper Connor Roberts.

But the Cofis quickly replied just two minutes later with a bullet header from Harry Charsley, scoring his first goal for the club.

The ex-Mansfield and Newport County midfielder turned provider when he flicked on Adrian Cieślewicz's cross before Zack Clarke bundled the ball in to give Caernarfon the lead on 66 minutes.

Seven minutes later, Sion Bradley secured their place in the third round draw when he beat Flint keeper Jack Flint from the penalty spot.

"We've come here with a game plan and we've stuck to it and the boys have done really well - so there's a lot of positives to take into next week."
