Asa Thomas of Holyhead Town finished the weekend back at the summit of the Bob Brodie Trophy table after losing top spot on Friday night.

Steve Whittaker’s Friday night four-goal haul for Cemaes Bay put him at the peak on 17, but the following day Thomas played for Holyhead Town Reserves in a 7-6 win and netted twice to return to the pinnacle.

The Bob Brodie Trophy is an annual competition which rewards the top goal-getter in senior Anglesey football. It is named in honour of Bob, a former player and manager who lived in Holyhead and left us in 2011, but will always be remembered.
