CATCH-UP: Lock Stock Ardal North West – 1876 return to winning ways, late decider for Rhyl 1879, Denbigh hit six

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST

Brickfield Rangers 0 Bangor 1876 3

Title hopefuls Bangor 1876 will be out for revenge this Saturday when they host a Denbigh Town side which has already beaten them twice this season.

Town triumphed 3-1 against 1876 in the League Cup in December and 1-0 a fortnight ago in the league, both games played at Central Park.

Michael Johnston’s team made a welcome return to winning ways last weekend with a 3-0 result at Clywedog Park.

A whirlwind start secured the game for the visitors, who took the lead in just the third minute.

Shaun Lock took a long throw from the left which reached Cameron Barry, who touched the ball into the path of Corrig McGonigle.

Without a goal in his three previous games – a drought by the prolific net-finder’s standards – McGonigle scored from the edge of the six-yard area.

A minute later, Les Davies flicked on Lock’s long throw and McGonigle again netted from close range – his 47th goal of the season.

Just after the quarter hour, Ben Owen took a quick throw-in on the right to give Jamie Petrie a chance to run into the right side of the area.

Petrie struck a first-time shot on the run which went over home goalkeeper Joe Lawlor and into the top corner.

A couple of fine stops from Carl Jones prevented Rangers hitting back before the break.

The second half brought quite a few more chances for 1876, but no goals.

Llandudno Albion 1 Llanrwst United 1

Callum Parry’s goal gave Llanrwst a half-time lead at Treborth, Bangor, last Friday, but Bryan Roberts equalised on 76 minutes to earn Albion a point and end a run of five straight league defeats.

Llangefni Town 2 Hawarden Rangers 0

Gerwyn Roberts and Iwan Jones provided the first half goals which earned Llangefni three points at Cae Bob Parry.

Llay Welfare 0 CPD Y Rhyl 1879 1

A fifth straight league win and now nine games without defeat for the leaders who sealed the result with an 80th minute goal from Kieran Ellis at The Ring.

CPD Y Felinheli 2 Saltney Town 2

Joe Kelly’s 89th minute goal earned Saltney a point at Cae Seilo.

George Davies had put the Bordermen ahead in the fifth minute, but an Osian Pritchard penalty after 52 made it all-square before Felin took the lead on 79.

Saltney manager Neill Rees Hughes was shown a red card in the 55th minute.

Rhostyllen 1 Nantlle Vale 4

Rhys Lloyd put bottom side Rhostyllen one-up in the 19th minute, but Nantlle turned the tables to lead at half time through a late Llion Griffiths double.

Griffiths completed his hat-trick in the second half, while substitute Sion Jones also made the scoresheet.

Two players were shown straight red cards in the 70th minute – Lloyd for Rhostyllen and Jamie Jones of Nantlle Vale.

ARDAL NORTH LEAGUE CUP

Denbigh Town 6 Llanfair United 0

Another ruthless, goal-packed show from Denbigh Town last Friday, Jason Foulkes (14 and 36 minutes), Sam Haddon (33), Jake Walker (51 and 56) and Nathan Brown (76) sharing the half-dozen.

Bow Street 1 Flint Mountain 1 (Bow won 4-3 on pens)

Richie Foulkes’ 95th minute equaliser earned Mountain a penalty shoot out, but it was Ardal North East hosts Bow Street who prevailed on spot-kicks.

Sion Ewart had put Bow one-up in the match itself after 56 minutes.

Flint’s Rowan Brooks was sent off for two yellows on 83.
