Radnor Valley saw their five-match Ardal North East winning run come to an end when they were defeated 3-1 by hosts CPD Llanuwchllyn at Cae Llan.

The Merionethshire club took the lead after just 10 minutes when Will Owen squeezed the ball through to Meilir Williams to fire past keeper William Fowden from close range.

Llanuwchllyn had to wait until the 67th minute to double their advantage when Ilan Hughes’ free-kick from out near the touchline beat Fowden at his near post.

The Goats halved the deficit seven minutes later when player/manager Matt Croose was on hand to convert Lewis Morris’ deep free-kick played into the hosts penalty area at the far post.

However, Llanuwchllyn quickly re-established their two-goal buffer within two minutes after the restart when Kyle Jones curled a shot into the far corner of the net after being picked out by Iolo Jones.

Radnor’s hopes of claiming something from the match vanished when Elliot Morris was shown a red card by referee Neil Bayliss with four minutes of normal time remaining on the clock.
