WELSH CUP FIRST QUALIFYING ROUND

St Asaph City have set a new record for the biggest win by a North Wales team in Welsh Cup history tonight.

Tier 3 Ardal North West newcomers Saints whipped tier 5 Rhyl Dragons 18-0 at Roe Plas Meadows in a one-sided qualifying round one clash.

That margin of victory beat the previous highest 17-0 thumping Bodedern Athletic dished out to Gaerwen in last season’s competition.

The biggest ever Welsh Cup win nationally saw Shrewsbury Town cane Mold Alyn Stars 21-0 back in 1894-95.

Second-half substitute Josh Brown led the way with four goals for the Saints, James Williams and Ray Knight both blasting hat-tricks.

Ryan Roberts (2), Alex Hall, Jackson Brewerton, Damian Ketley, Jack Davies, Ellis Blench and a Nicholas Sanders own goal made up the rest. Asaph led 7-0 at half time.

Rhys Lloyd and Matthew Thompson both notched hat-tricks as tier 3 Llay Welfare hammered a dozen past fifth-tier underdogs Holywell United at The Ring.

Cavan Daley added a double, while there were singles for Max Peate, Will Nevitt, David Macintyre and Owen Roberts.

Llay banged in eight goals before the half-hour mark and led 9-0 at the interval.
