It's fair to say that, talented footballer though he is, Dean Palmer has not had the best of starts to 2010.
Sent off twice for dissent, played in a myriad of different positions, as needs must, and here having a torrid time in defence against a rejuvenated rock bottom Garw, Palmer rose superbly in the 85th minute to clinch the winner of an error strewn game that ought to be quickly forgotten but will be recalled as one of the wackiest games to have been played at the Sportsground for a long, long time.
Town were forced to shuffle the pack once more having been reduced to 13 fit players due to a work place injury to skipper Jack Alderdice. The change was Andrew Smith reacquainted with midfield duties he gave up 18 months ago. Simultaneously, of course, the defence was stripped of experience, and as early as the first minute Town were ripped apart down the right by a neat combination between the Misbah brothers, who were to prove hotter than the famed Monmouth curry house of the same name.
