Aberystwyth created the first chance of the match after only four minutes, when a John Lawless corner from the left found its way to the feet of Phil Baker, and his shot from the edge of the area through a crowd of players was well saved by a flying Ian Willcock in the Cofis' goal.
Aberystwyth then stepped up the pace in search of an equaliser that they did not seem likely to get before Caernarfon scored.
The first goal came from a free kick given away by Craig Hogg for pushing on the Aberystwyth left, and the resulting free kick was floated into Lee Spike's path on the far post and he blasted the ball past Willcock from 10 yards.

 Aberystwyth Ceredigion, Wales, UK - Tourist Information
The town of Aberystwyth was established over seven hundred years ago by virtue of a charter awarded by Edward I. Neighbouring Llanbadarn Fawr is a much older settlement whose history is more based upon native Welsh culture.
The original fortifications would probably have been much nearer to the mouth of the river Ystwyth ("Aber Ystwyth" in Welsh means mouth of the river Ystwyth) than are the ruins of the later, stone-built castle, that remain.
Aberystwyth also houses the National Library of Wales - where many of the greatest literary treasures of Wales and the other Celtic countries are securely stored, including the illuminated "Black Book of Carmarthen", the oldest surviving manuscript written in the Welsh language.
