Danny Owens claimed a remarkable 6-9 off eight overs for a Carmel outfit which blasted out visitors Pontblyddyn seconds for just 79.

Gresford 2nd XI (2) 151-5 Bangor 2nd XI (13) 222-6

Tomos Davies made a maiden century for Bangor seconds, his 101 not out doing most to ensure the Citizens built a winning total.

It was a fifth club ton for Davies, whose previous four came when representing the thirds.

He top-scored as Bangor seconds set 222-6 off 40, Pavan Zala 37, Chris Barry 32 and Cian Williams 30, George Morris 4-55 and Sam Burke 2-32 for the home team.

Skipper Morris made 50 and Danny Griffin 34 no, but Gresford’s response was way short of Bangor’s effort on 151-5, Davies adding 2-22 with the ball to his heroic century.

Mochdre 2nd XI (13) 168-4 Llanrwst (2) 167-6

Opener Iwan Edwards scored 100 for Llanrwst in their total of 162-6 at Swan Road.

Kyle Brown took 3-18 off eight and Finlay Jones 2-33 for the home side.

Mochdre seconds reached the winning post with five overs to spare on 168-4, Dan Miller the chief contributor with 39, Adam Thomas 2-35 for the visitors.

Mold 2nd XI (3) 150-10 St Asaph 2nd XI (12) 151-7

Ieuan Jones’ 4-17 off 7.4 overs played a big part in St Asaph seconds’ triumph at Chester Road.

Mold won the toss and batted, managing 150 all out off 37.4, Craig Roberts (63) and captain Chris Boulton (43) putting on 93 for the first wicket before it all went rather wrong.

Jones’ fine return with the ball was well backed by Iwan Roberts (2-16) and Russell Moore (2-17).

Saints dipped to 108-7 in reply before Mike Thompson (42 no) and Moore (18 no) saw them to victory with an unbroken partnership of 43.

Skipper Ben Murphy hit 40 while for Mold seconds, Boulton nabbed 3-22 and Aled Proffit 2-16.
