LATEST RESERVE FOOTBALL REPORTS COVERING NORTH WALES

Saturday, Jan 28

FAW RESERVE LEAGUE NORTH WEST

Ruthin Town Reserves 0 Nantlle Vale Reserves 2

Llion Griffiths was the hero of Nantlle Vale after his two late goals clinched the victory which ended leaders Ruthin’s 100 percent record.

Going into the game, Town had won eight out of eight and led the table by eight points, but second-place Nantlle cut the gap to five with a cracking win.

Griffiths’ goals arrived after 79 and 97 minutes, boosting the 18-year-old’s total for the season up to eight.

Nantlle had lost 3-1 at home to Ruthin back in October, but revenge was sweet at the Memorial Playing Fields on Saturday.

Conwy Borough Reserves 1 Holywell Town Development 2

All the goals came in the first half as Holywell scooped maximum points at bottom side Conwy.

Captain Ben Lewis and 16-year-old Iwan Peters, with his first goal for the club, were on target as the Wellmen went two-up before Adam Buckley hit back prior to the break.

Llangollen Town Reserves 3 Denbigh Town Reserves 1

Jake Hayward (2) and Andy Kelly shared the goals as Llangollen celebrated a fine win over an in-form Denbigh.

Josh Griffiths replied with a 62nd minute equaliser for the visitors, who had won two on the bounce.

FAW RESERVE LEAGUE NORTH EAST

Airbus UK Broughton Reserves 1 Mold Alex Reserves 0

A 58th minute goal from the ever-famous N/A clinched three points for Airbus.

If clubs cannot provide goalscorer names on the Cymru Football App or on their social media, they are depriving players of the confidence boost of seeing their name highlighted. So many clubs appear to undersell their reserve teams.

Cefn Albion Reserves 3 Llay Welfare Reserves 1

Christopher Roberts (2) and Jordan Williams provided the second half goals which sealed a victory for Cefn, Kalvin Williams responding for the visitors.

Hawarden Rangers Reserves 1 Rhos Aelwyd Reserves 1

Greg Watson gave Hawarden a 24th minute lead, but Rhos salvaged a point thanks to an equaliser from Alfie Owens on 68.
