Conwy Comrades 2 FC Mally 2

This battle of Sunday League giants lived up to all the pre-match expectation that a mini-classic was in store.

FC Mally opened the scoring with a Lee Ellis penalty early on.

Comrades responded positively by going on the attack and had a fair few chances but could not convert.

Eventually persistence paid off when Ste O’Neill made it 1-1.

Few chances at both ends before the break but the half ended on equal terms.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, a ball through from Kai Davies found Dan Williams who made no mistake in slotting home to make it 2-1 to Comrades.

Chances fell to both teams but good saves from Nic Bould and the woodwork denied Conwy and kept it at 2-1 for most of the second half.

Then with minutes to go FC Mally scored the equaliser via Jamie Moorhouse to make it 2-2.

Rhyl Celtics 1 Y Clwb 10

Dion Lloyd, Tyler Griffiths and James Sweetman added two apiece for the Glan Conwy outfit.

Nigel Butler struck the Celtics’ sole reply.
