Arriva Bangor 2 Holyhead Town 1

A great start to life at Nantporth for the Busmen as they collected all three points.

It was a hard-fought battle from the opening minutes, but on 33 Arriva’s Robin Roberts made it 1-0 with a top drawer volley from distance.

Paddy Whittington doubled the lead with a great headed finish 10 minutes later.

Despite conceding early in the second half, Chris Hughes netting for the Harbourmen, the Busmen fought hard to keep the lead and see out the win.

Although Dave Webb edged Caergybi in front after seven minutes that was as good as it got for the hosts.

Cian Owen made it 3-1 on 31 and Jay Finter also struck for ‘Pwll in first half added time.

No goals in the second half, Llanfair’s job was done.

CPD Y Fali 0 Cemaes Bay 7

Cemaes proved again why they are considered potential title challengers as they made it four wins out of four at the expense of Y Fali at Cae Mwd.

Centre-back Dylan Jones was first on the scoresheet from a Sion Rowlands assist just eight minutes in before midfielder Ryan Folksman doubled the lead after 20.

Tom Wood added a third before turning provider for Matt Reynolds to make it 4-0 just before the break.

Owen helped himself to a brace and made it 7-0 before the end.

CPD Gaerwen 0 CPD Cefni 1

A great battle at Lon Groes with Gaerwen showing plenty of promise as they aim to climb off the bottom.

However, Cefni grabbed the points thanks to a single goal on the half-hour from Jamielee Patterson.
