Premier Division

Unbeaten Chirk Town maintained their dominance of the North East Wales League Premier Division with a 6-0 home caning of Greenfield.

Keegan Jakoulevs, Aaron Davies (2), Nicky Williams, Tom Freeman and James Williams combined to produce half-a-dozen goals.

Two goals late in the first half from Phil Lloyd and Sam Jones secured Halkyn and Flint Mountain a 2-0 verdict over Hawarden Rangers.

It ended 1-1 between Coedpoeth United and Overton Recreational. Sion Turner gave Coedy a 12th minute lead, but Tom Huxley levelled early in the second half.

Kristian Jones, Jake Hayward and Rupeni Thorn grabbed the goals which earned Llangollen Town a 3-2 triumph against Lex XI, who led twice through a pair from the in-form Seb Kidd.

Barry Torrence (2, 1 pen) was yet again the match-winner for FC Queen’s Park in their 2-1 decision at New Brighton Villa, Adam Blunden replying, while Mynydd Isa Spartans and Castell Alun Colts shared a 0-0 split.

There were two goals apiece for Lodge’s Matthew Harrison and Ethan Snell, who scored right at the death to salvage a point.

Man of the Match for the hosts was Ryan Price, the young shot stopper making a string of saves, the best a point blank double effort.

Thomas Edwards, Jordan Foster and Thomas Hyndman (2) hit back for Bagillt, who actually led 4-2 in the 90th minute.

Mark Jones put Ruabon Rovers one-up at Borras Park Albion, but Lewis Evison equalised to secure a 1-1 draw.
