Granted, Queen’s Park will have been rocked by the news that are likely to lose their league title from last season over a three-point deduction.
And true, the Wrexham side suffered a painful blow the previous weekend when they lost their 100% record in a 5-2 reverse at Brymbo.
But still, for Mold to beat last season’s table-toppers 5-1 represents quite a performance.
Danny Warren, Matty Lewis, Ben Howarth, Dave Bryan and Adam Renshaw shared the home goals, Tristan Wagner replying.

Seeking a first win of the season, Holywell recovered from 2-1 down to record a tremendous result at The Rock.
Shaun Tuck put the Wellmen in front, but Kien Morris levelled before the break and Zac Davies made it 2-1 to the FAW Trophy holders early in the second half.
But a James Graham spot-kick brought it all-square, then Holywell raised their game in the last quarter, Tuck, Paul Williams and Mark Connolly all on target to secure the victory.
