Captain fantastic Iroshan De Silva top-scored with 85 as Gwersyllt Park moved 20 points clear at the Division One peak with a superb win at Connah’s Quay.
In a rain-reduced encounter, Gwersyllt were asked to bat and chalked up a very decent 204-6 off their 35 allotted overs.
De Silva hit 11 fours and a six in his 90-ball knock, while Alfie Lythgoe added a very impressive 54, sharing in a stand of 118 for the fourth wicket with his skipper.
Lee Davies scooped 2-19 and Rhys Stout 2-37 for the Deesiders.
Quay were then bowled out for 142 in 23.4, Callum Miller best with 34, De Silva snapping up 3-32 and Neil Pearson 3-35 for the visitors, Lewis Cole 2-33 and Daniel Jones 2-38.
Points went 11-4 in Park’s favour.
Nathan Humphreys and David Phennah picked up seven wickets between them as Llay sent Conwy packing for just 79 to wrap up a 63-run win at The Ring.
Welfare were invited to bat and posted 142-8 off their 45 overs, Phennah making the biggest contribution of 40.
Calum Jones claimed 4-29 and Alex Price 2-21 for the visitors, who with the rain intervening faced a revised target of 134 from 41 overs.
They got nowhere near, their innings lasting just 24.5 overs with Humphreys snaring 4-25 and Phennah 3-18 off eight for the victorious hosts.
Rain almost certainly denied Marchwiel and Wrexham a comfortable win at Flint Road.

In reply, Marchwiel and Wrexham were 91-1 off 15 overs when the weather ensured the match was abandoned.
