NORTH EAST WALES FOOTBALL LEAGUE – REPORTS FOR SATURDAY, JULY 30

CHAMPIONSHIP

CPD Bellevue 0 Acton 10

Samuel Giles led the way with five goals – including a hat-trick within six first-half minutes, as Acton marked their return to the league with a 10-0 away drubbing of Bellevue.

Andrew Bithell, Stephen Powell, Ryan Jones, Alistair Gibson and Tommy Hallam all bagged one each for the visitors.

Holywell United 0 Aston Park Rangers 2

A newly-formed team met a returning old friend of the league in this one – and it was Aston Park who came out on top with two second-half goals.

A Harvey McGrail own goal on 46 minutes and a Kallum Pierce strike after 56 settled the issue.

Saltney Ferry 4 Overton Recreational 3

Better fortunes for another newcomer – Saltney Ferry.

The home side pipped Overton, relegated from the Premier last season, in a seven-goal cracker.

Thomas Chrimes struck twice in the first half and Ben Barratt pocketed two in the second for Ferry, Harry Massey (2) and Christopher Bush replying.
