Flint Town United 3 Porthmadog 0

Unbeaten Flint stretched their successful streak to 12 matches with a clear win over visitors Porthmadog at the Essity Stadium.

The Silkmen applied plenty of early pressure, forcing Port keeper Alex Ward-Jones into a superb save, before taking the lead after 23 minutes through Joe Williams, Jake Phillips assisting.

Josh Jones went very close to putting Flint two-up just before half time, but seven minutes into the second half, the same player made no mistake.

Elliott Reeves pounced on a defensive error, scuffed his effort against the post, but Jones was there to finish.

Port had a big chance to pull one back after 71 minutes but Shaun Cavanagh’s penalty was saved by Josh Tibbetts.

The hosts brought on Harley Brindley-Peagram on 74 and just three minutes later he made it 3-0.

Only the heroics of away stopper Ward-Jones denied Lee Fowler’s side further goals.

Gresford Athletic 6 Chirk AAA 0

After a barren run Gresford reignited their season with a six-goal caning of bottom side Chirk at The Rock.

The emphatic result pushed the Colliers up to seventh spot in the table.

Hat-trick hero Toby Gallagher-Keenan, Charlie Mann (2) and Haci Ozlu shared the goals, while Chirk had Tom Freeman red-carded in the second half.
