Phoenix moved up to second in the Championship with a third win in five matches.
The goals in a 2-0 victory over Denbigh Wanderers came via 57-year-old Paul Wolfenden and Peter Williams.
It was a pretty even contest between two honest sides.
Pen had the better of the game overall, but Denbigh always carried a threat.
Phoenix eventually wore the opposition down and their quality shone through.
Special mention for captain Iwan Williams at centre half, who was immense. Pete Williams was back to his Saturday league self of 10 years ago; he didn’t stop running and caused the opposing defenders trouble all game.
In a friendly, Connah’s Quay Vets beat enthusiastic and willing new boys Mochdre Vets 8-3.
Mike Salusbury and Tony Hogan scored two apiece, Matty Roberts, Andy Watkin, Graeme Sumner and Steven Blair also on target.
MoM for the Quay in an impressive performance was Al Sumner.
