JD CYMRU NORTH

Tonight (Wednesday, 7.30 pm) Holywell Town will aim to make it 19 straight league wins when they take on Prestatyn Town at the Achieve More Stadium.

This will be the first meeting of the teams this season.

Holywell are in second spot and a win this evening will take them to within nine points of leaders Colwyn Bay with a game in hand.

Prestatyn, who are having a decent season themselves, lie eighth in the table, but a victory at Holywell would lift them to sixth.

SATURDAY’S REPORTS – FEBRUARY 18

Porthmadog 0 Chirk AAA 5

A fantastic five-goal win at Y Traeth lifted Chirk out of the bottom three.

Goals from Max Mclaughlin, Dale Davies, Rhys Edwards, Matty Williams and Louie Middlehurst ensured Andy Pryde’s men made it back-to-back league wins after going 12 previous games without success.

Gresford Athletic 1 Ruthin Town 0

Eddie Maurice-Jones

Two days before his 34th birthday Gresford manager Eddie Maurice-Jones received the perfect present – three precious points.

His Colliers put in a gritty, hard-working performance and earned a big reward at home against Ruthin.

The game started well for Gresford, Alex Buxton grabbing an early goal in the 15th minute, scoring with a superb volley from around 20 yards out with Dominic Deacon claiming the assist.

The hosts remained on top until in the 61st minute, keeper Rhys Williams pulled out a great save to deny Ruthin the equaliser.

Williams produced another good stop in injury time.

George Macready was voted as Gresford’s Man of the Match.

Guilsfield 0 Llandudno 0

All-square at Clos Mytton where Llandudno appeared to be denied a blatant penalty when Sam Jones went down in the box on 76 minutes.

Otherwise, it was a game of few chances although Seasiders keeper Shaun Pearson produced two good saves.

Llanidloes Town 3 Holyhead Hotspur 1

Luke Boundford, Jack Orbell and Jamie Breese got the goals which put Llanidloes 3-0 up before Dylan Summers-Jones bagged a late consolation for Hotspur.

Mold Alexandra 0 Colwyn Bay 3

Two superb second half strikes from Matty Hill secured another three points as the Seagulls won 3-0 at Alyn Park.

Cai Owen had put Colwyn Bay in front at half-time with his fourth goal of the season and the visitors controlled much of the second period with Hill’s double putting the icing on the cake of a 22nd consecutive league victory.

Penrhyncoch 1 Prestatyn Town 2

Two injury-time strikes pocketed a dramatic three points for the visitors.

Niall Coleridge’s 27th minute goal made it 1-0 to Penrhyncoch, who had Liam Lewis red-carded after 82.

In the second minute over the 90, Tom Aylmer equalised, then with 96 on the clock Jack Gibney plundered the decider.
