Rhos Aelwyd 1 Penycae 1

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST LEAGUE

Flint Mountain 0 St Asaph City 2

Great win for promoted Saints over one of the teams expected to challenge for the league title.
Mathew Beach handed the visitors an eighth minute lead before substitute Ryan Roberts made sure of an away triumph with a goal on 89.
Mountain had Sam Jones red-carded deep into added time.

Hawarden Rangers 1 Llay Welfare 2

Three wins out of four for Llay at the expense of a Hawarden outfit which suffered a fourth straight loss.
Dan Lloyd opened the scoring for the visitors on 11 minutes, but Welfare had striker Jon Collo sent off for a straight red offence after 13.
It was harder with 10 men for the away side and James Ratcliffe brought Rangers level on 28.
However, Will Nevitt’s 50th minute strike put Llay back ahead and that was enough to secure the points.

Holyhead Hotspur 1 Llangefni Town 1

The much-awaited island derby finished one-apiece, meaning fourth-place Llangefni kept their unbeaten record.
Cory Williams gave Hotspur the lead on 18 minutes, Kyle Murphy with the assist, but Marc Evans levelled against his old club after 23.
Good work by Jack Smith enabled Evans to smash the ball home from close range.
Both sides had chances after that but there was to be no winner, home keeper Guto Hughes in terrific form in the second half.

CPD Pwllheli 1 Bethesda Athletic 0

On a night like few others for missed penalties, Joe Todd failed from the spot for Bethesda on 55 minutes.
Pwllheli bagged the win thanks to a 68th minute net-finder from Josua Lloyd Jones.

NORTH WALES COAST EAST LEAGUE

Premier Division

Mochdre Sports 2 Penmaenmawr Phoenix 0

A typically fiesty, largely scrappy game was settled by two set pieces more than 85 minutes apart.
Mochdre took the lead on five minutes through Fin Jones, who stole a march on his marker and emerged at the back post to nod a perfect Josh Grimshaw corner home.
A tense game with few chances saw Pen going close with a point-blank header that sailed over the bar of an open goal, and a shot that just fell the wrong side of the post.
The closest Pen came, however, was from a left footed shot just outside the area. Mochdre goalkeeper Nic Bould dived to his right and managed to superbly tip the ball onto the post.
Sports secured all three points a minute into added time at the end of the game, when Fin Jones found himself on the end of another corner, this time flicking on for Ste Falvey to calmly poke home, much to the large crowd of 200-plus’s delight.

Division One

Bow FC 12 Rhyl Dragons 0

A dozen red roses tied in a Bow?
No, a dozen fine goals from a team in full flow.
Greg Hall led the charge with four, while substitute Kyle Robb notched a hat-trick.
Also on target were: James Harper, Ian Griffiths, Robbie Parry and Liam Sykes (2).

CPD Henllan 2 CPD Caer Clwyd 4

Francis Roberts (penalty), Shaun Edwards and Julian Watson (2) shared the goals in a fine win for Caer Clwyd.
Lewis Roberts and Billy Wilde (pen) responded for Henllan.

Llandudno Amateurs 4 Glan Conwy 0

Last season’s dynamic duo Azz Rogers and Joe Jones are back on the destruction trail after netting all four Amateurs goals between them.
Rogers hit a hat-trick and Jones a single for a home team which should have won by quite a few more.

Rhyl All Stars 5 Prestatyn Wanderers 3

Joe Smith, Elliott Maitland-Price (2, 1 pen), Maurice Stringer and a Jonny Mee own goal combined to deliver All Stars a hard-fought home success.
Tom Jones, Tom Fleming and Alyjandro Fraser hit back for Wanderers.
