Its been a long time coming but well worth waiting for.A battling performance in very testing conditions in which every player played their part.
After early pressure from Flint it was the Bluebirds that took the lead when a fine cross from Aron Hughes-Jones was met with a bullet header from Steve Blenkinsop. A fine save from Niki-Lee Bulmer prevented Phil Jones from putting the Bluebirds further ahead from a free kick.
Flint made two substitutions at the break and one of these Chris Li was very fortunate not to get a red card within a minute for an xrated challenge on Tom Bethell.Flint were quickly running out of ideas and a Hughes-Jones chip over the keeper hit the inside of the post and came out. The second Bluebirds goal came after 79 minutes when Luke Sherbon produced a deft chip over Bulmer.Another Phil Jones free kick caused problems to the Flint defence befor keeper Callum Hawthorne came to the rescue with two fine saves in injury time
