North East Wales – Corwen’s 100% record is gone, eight league games produce 55 goals

Rhydymwyn took on Holywell United last Friday night

NORTH EAST WALES LEAGUE – APRIL 6 REPORTS

Premier Division

Corwen 2-2 Rhostyllen

For the first time this season Corwen dropped points in what turned out to be an unlucky 13th game for the table-toppers.

But Jamie Hulse’s side remain unbeaten and have a seven-point lead at the Premier summit.

Saturday’s game saw Tom Douglas strike first for second-place Rhostyllen on five minutes, but a double from Owen Cordiner on 10 and 22 put the hosts in front.

Douglas then missed a penalty before half time, but made amends with a 51st minute equaliser.

That completed the scoring and meant Corwen’s run of 12 straight league victories came to an end.

Greenfield 3-1 FC Queen’s Park

Ryan Jones bagged a brace as Greenfield recorded an impressive win over last season’s champions Queen’s Park.

Jones struck on 7 and 77 minutes, while Connor Hughes also found the net after 39.

Sub Matthew Bithell replied in the 80th minute for the Park, who by that stage were three down and heading for defeat.

Lex XI 4-3 Ruabon Rovers

Although Ruabon are a team to follow for excitement due largely to their involvement in high-scoring thrillers, it is unfortunate for them that they lose more than they win.

Saturday was a typical example as last season’s Championship Division winners hit three at Stansty Park, but conceded four.

Kian Davies was a hat-trick hero for the Law, whose other marksman was Joshua Phillips via the penalty spot, while Jimmy Jones (2, 1 pen) and Josh Hughes ran Rovers close.

Penyffordd Lions 0-2 Connah’s Quay Town

Pascal Gomez’s double after 4 and 89 minutes banked the points which kept third-place Town in the title hunt.

Championship Division

Gronant 18-0 Bellevue

It rained goals at the Holywell High School 4G pitch where title chasers Gronant handed out a lesson in finishing.

Kallum Pierce notched a double hat-trick to boost his season’s goals tally to 33, Aidan Bell hit three, Luke Elden two, Dylan Taylor two and there was one apiece from Steve Kirk, Dan Price, Warren Luff, David O’Neill and Matthew Lewis, who also supplied no less than five assists.

Plas Madoc 7-2 Acton

Plas still lead the table on goal difference from Gronant after last weekend’s whipping of Acton.

The top two both have 54 points, but Madoc has played one game less, The Plas GD is + 98 and Gronant’s is + 94.

Jamie Williams pocketed four against Acton to make it 32 goals this term, Nicky Williams, Blake Parry and Joe Matthews adding singles, while Oliver Scarsbrook and Sam Giles claimed consolations for the visitors.

Yr Wyddgrug 1-3 Overton Recreational

Harry Massey was Overton’s hero, his hat-trick boosting his goals total this season to 44.

Sub Henry Jones was Yr Wyddgrug’s sole marksman.

Holywell United 2-5 Rhydymwyn

Karl Bacon (2), Joe Jones, Ryan Davies and substitute Nathan Williams split the goals for victorious Rhydymwyn, Luis Rowlands netting both for Holywell United.
