BOXING DAY NORTH WALES FOOTBALL REPORTS

Lock Stock Ardal North West League

Brickfield Rangers 4 Rhostyllen 2

Four first half goals set up Brickfield for the victory which lifted them to third in Ardal North West.

Harley Steel scored the opener on 15 minutes before providing the assist for Issac Dawson to make it 2-0 after 27.

Sam Chesters pulled one back with 35 on the clock, but Bricky were in charge, Dawson setting up Aaron Jones for their third on 44.

And in first half added time, Portuguese Gerson Silva Neto struck his sixth first team goal of the season for Rangers.

The second half was much less exciting, certainly in the goals department, with neither side scoring until the 89th minute, when Chesters notched a second consolation for Rhostyllen, still without a league win in 11 attempts and one off the bottom of the table.

Visitors Felinheli again showed their ability to cause a mini-upset on their travels, while Nantlle’s inconsistency continues to haunt them.

Euron Davies’ reds, who had lost the reverse fixture at Cae Seilo by the same score back in August, gained revenge at Maes Dulyn on Boxing Day and completed a fourth victory on the bounce.

The first half produced no goals but six yellow cards – four to Vale and two for the away team.

It remained goalless until the 76th minute when Ifan Emyr broke the deadlock for Felinheli.

Vale brought on the prolific front man Sion Parry for Iwan Lane, but it was Felin who scored next, Iwan Owen making it 2-0 on 80 minutes.

Parry did pull one back immediately for Nantlle, but the visitors held on for the points.

To complete Vale’s misery, they had Mathew Davies sent off for a second yellow card in the 88th minute.

Builth Wells 3 Rhayader Town 1

Victory as expected for the Bulls over the bottom side, Rudi Griffiths, Lee James and Lyndon Jones on target.

Builth also had Tommy Rowlands dismissed for a second yellow card, while Ryan Owen saw a straight red for Rhayader in the same 74th minute.

Sion Herman had brought the visitors level during the first half.

Caersws 3 Llandrindod Wells 0

Glynn Coney struck twice for Caersws, who closed to within a point of leaders Cefn Albion with four games in hand.

Coney’s double on 17 and 52 minutes followed Neil Mitchell’s opener for the Bluebirds after eight.
