RESERVE FOOTBALL ROUND-UPS – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE RESERVE DIVISION

Llanberis Reserves 2 (Connor Roberts 4, Rhys Hughes 28)
Penmaenmawr Phoenix Reserves 1 (M Williams 75)

In front of a great crowd at Ffordd Padarn, both sides produced a great advert for the new North Wales Coast Reserve League.

Llanberis started the game much better and got their reward in the fourth minute when Connor Roberts broke the deadlock.

Rhys Hughes scored in the 28th minute to make it 2-0.

Grady Walding went close for Pen, hitting the bar from 20 yards just before the break.

Phoenix regrouped at half time and began the second period much better, playing the more attractive football throughout.

Llanberis defended deep and had to make two goal-line clearances.

Substitute Mackenzie Williams finally pulled one back in the 75th minute for Pen with a great finish from the edge of the area after a solo run from midfield.

The Darans defended well from there on and held out to get the 2-1 win.
