FC Queen's Park boss Craig Roberts has heaped praise on striker Nicky Williams after his four-goal opening day blast in the Welsh Cup. Williams formed a lethal partnership with fellow experienced striker Mike Latham, but it was a new-look frontline as Park won a thrilling Welsh Cup tie at Llanfairfechan where the tie ended 5-5 after 90 minutes.
What happened?
Williams lined up alongside new arrival Matty Worrall and the two are now preparing for the visit of Henllan at The Queensway Stadium tomorrow. "It was an up down game to start the season but we are through to the next round," said Park boss Roberts. "Nicky was just doing what he does best holding the ball up with his strength and power and linking up well with Matty and the wide men and walked away with four goals. Typical Nicky!"
