CATCH-UP: JD Cymru North – remarkable winning runs for Colwyn Bay and Holywell Town continue

JD CYMRU NORTH REPORTS – FEBRUARY 25

Holywell Town 4 Cefn Druids 0

Holywell made it a magical 20 straight league wins at the expense of Druids last Saturday.

The deadlock was broken on 33 minutes. Kai Wallis broke to the byline and his cross to the far post was headed home by Danny Andrews.

Town grabbed the decisive second goal after the break when Mark Winslade’s diving header from an inch-perfect Tom Bibby cross made it 2-0.

With an hour on the clock, Sullivan fed a fine ball into the box for substitute Dave Forbes, who beat his marker and poke past the advancing keeper.

The visitors were then reduced to 10 men as Callum Stephens saw red for a challenge on Andrews.

Jake Cooke sealed the game for the Wellmen in the final few minutes, his effort going in off the post.

The referee blew for full time soon after and Town walked off to a great round of applause from the Wellmen faithful.

Chirk AAA 0 Penrhyncoch 0

Disappointing day at Holyhead Road for the Colliers with a dismal draw against basement side Penrhyncoch.

The Roosters came to Chirk with a defensive game plan which the hosts failed to break down and led to an uninspiring, frustrating 90 minutes.

However, it was a point gained whilst the teams around Chirk in the bottom 5 all lost in the battle against relegation.

AAA’s did break the lines in the opening 20 minutes of the second period with Max Mclaughlin firing wide, Rhys Edwards having his shot superbly saved and substitute Lewis Clamp header being cleared off the line.

But Chirk failed to find the net and the points were shared.

Colwyn Bay 5 Conwy Borough 0

While Holywell were celebrating their 20th straight league win last Saturday, leaders Colwyn Bay made it an even more remarkable 23 victories in a row, Conwy Borough their latest victims.

Tommy Creamer opened the scoring on 17 minutes with a close range finish after a Stef Edwards shot had been saved by the keeper.

Bay doubled their lead on 41 minutes with Matty Hill’s header from Alex Downes’ great cross.

Steve Evans’ side made it 3-0 on 70 minutes with Creamer’s deflected shot from Dylan Allshorn’s cross.

Hill hit the bar from 20 yards after a good turn and shot, before two further goals in added time completed the scoring.

Guto Williams headed number four from Creamer’s cross and a minute later Hill tapped in his second after Craig Lindfield’s shot, following a good run into the area, was pushed out by the keeper.

Holyhead Hotspur 0 Guilsfield 4

More misery for struggling Hotspur, Steve Blenkinsop (2), Jamie Hyne and Josh Astley guiding Guilsfield to an emphatic win.

Llandudno 5 Buckley Town 0

John Bennett, Sam Jones (2), Marc Williams and Shaun Cavanagh shared the goals as Tudno went nap in a very impressive performance against Buckley.

Mold Alexandra 2 Porthmadog 2

Nathan Williams and Meilir Williams (pen) put Port two-up at half time, but Mold fought back to earn a draw with goals from Haci Ozlu and a Danny Warren leveller five minutes over the 90.

Prestatyn Town 1 Gresford Athletic 0

Tom Aylmer’s 36th minute volley was enough to clinch the three points for Town at Bastion Gardens.
