RADNOR Valley held their nerve to overcome local rivals Presteigne on penalties in the first round of the FAW Trophy on Friday night.
New signing Jake Bufton handed the Goats a 13th minute lead when he guided the ball past the home custodian before Rees Morris doubled the advantage four minutes later when he converted a low cross.
Matt Strangwood fired home a 70th minute free-kick past Will Fowden in the Goats' goal before Sam Davies converted a cross from the left to level the scores 10 minutes later.
The tie went straight to a penalty shoot-out and it appeared at one stage that the two teams could not be separated until Rees Morris converted the winning spot-kick to hand the Goats victory 13-12 on penalties.
