The longest-running 100% league record in North Wales senior football came to an end on Saturday when Nomads Reserves and Colts were beaten at home by the Airbus Development squad.
Nomads had won 11 on the bounce before the Wingmakers brought them to ground, Ellis Greenall and Dylan Cunnah with the all-important goals.
Abergele recovered from 4-1 and 6-4 down to finally win a penalties contest which involved a mammoth 21 kicks.
With these two level on points in the Vale of Clwyd and Conwy League and having drawn 3-3 in a Premier Division clash this season, Saturday’s tie was expected to be close – but maybe not as tight as it ended up.
In the game itself, Matty Rees and Jay Whitehouse both nabbed hat-tricks for Rhuddlan, Connor Bucknall adding a single, while for Abergele, Jack Hoult (3), Kane Williams, Liam Roberts, Jack Lloyd and a Callum Roberts own goal provided their total.
Penmaenmawr have been near the top all season, so for a team to win 3-0 there was quite an achievement.
