Jake Leonard, Stephen Berry and Harry Massey notched the goals which sent the Quay into the next round, Finley Dyer with Lex’s sole response.

CHAMPIONSHIP

Holywell United 3 CPD Sychdyn 7

Brandon Jones was a five-goal star for Sychdyn on an afternoon where four Championship matches saw the net found a combined 39 times.

Shane Wellings also delivered a double for the visitors, Alex Forsyth (2) and Dylan Mackie for the home side.

Johnstown 12 Bellevue 2

Keneth Davies netted on six occasions as Johnstown took their visitors apart.

Callum Poole (2), Dwayne Jones, Joseph Davies, Finnley Poole and Charlie Samuels teamed up to produce the home side’s other six goals.

Jake Johnson’s 93rd minute leveller salvaged a point for Saltney Ferry from this eight-goal cracker.

Harry Massey (3) and Christopher Bush split the goals for Overton, who trailed three times before grabbing a 4-3 lead.

Johnson also scored in the first minute for Ferry, Dean Disley and Kieran Dutton then putting them 3-2 up before the hosts went ahead on 77 minutes. Then came Johnson’s equaliser.

Ruabon Rovers 6 FC United of Wrexham 1

Andrew Swarbrick, Michael Jones, Conner Kendrick, James Jones and Ryan Williams combined to give Rovers a 5-0 half time lead.

That proved more than enough to win the game, but improving FCUW followed up their first win of the season seven days earlier by drawing the second half with mighty Ruabon 1-1.

Daniel Buck struck on 86 minutes to make it 5-1 before Swarbrick ensured the home team had the last word.

Ruthin Town Development 2 Coedpoeth United 6
