Ardal North East – Llanfair still top but Chirk AAA are right on their tails

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH EAST – FEBRUARY 26

Chirk AAA 4 (M Williams 45, Sklenar 65, Davies 70, Middlehurst 90)
Penparcau 0

Second-place Chirk bounced back from their recent home loss against Caersws to record a convincing 4-0 win over in-form Penparcau at Holyhead Road.

The Colliers suffered an early blow after just 10 minutes when Lewis Clamp went off injured.

Both teams fought a midfield battle and chances were at a premium.

Chirk did look dangerous at set plays and corners and it was a flag kick in the last minute of the half that saw the home side take the lead, defender Matty Williams heading home powerfully from a Nath Lavender delivery.

Substitute Liam Sklenar put AAA’s further ahead on 65 minutes with Dale Davies making it 3-0 after 70.

Another substitute Louie Middlehurst completed the scoring in injury time to wrap things up for Chirk.

A good confidence booster ahead of next weekend’s big derby at third-place Cefn Albion.

Before the game, a minute’s silence was observed by all for local man Carl Williams who sadly passed recently.

Llanfair United 2 (Spencer 6, B Jones 40)
Rhos Aelwyd 1 (Roberts 64)

First-half goals from Matt Spencer and Ben Jones were enough to secure Llanfair the win which keeps them top of the table.

Rhos did not go down without a fight and pulled a goal back through Daniel Roberts just after the hour.

Penycae 1 (Davies 34)
Dolgellau 2 (G Williams 27, I Roberts 64)

Eighteen-year-old substitute Ioan Roberts notched the deciding goal for Dolgellau in the second half.

Gerwyn Williams struck first for the visitors on 27 minutes at Afoneitha Road before Tomos Davies levelled after 34.
