CATCH-UP: Goals galore as we review the last week in the North Wales Coast West League

NORTH WALES COAST WEST REPORTS – APRIL 17

Premier Division

Cemaes Bay 1 Trearddur Bay 1

Trearddur Bay need 10 more points from the remaining eight league games to be crowned North Wales Coast West Premier champions for 2023-24.

Nine-man Bay still managed to extend their unbeaten league record to 20 matches with a draw in an excellent encounter at School Lane on Wednesday night.

Both sides made a good start but neither could make the breakthrough before in the 29th minute Trearddur captain Dan McGinness was shown a straight red for dissent.

The visitors changed shape and the game remained fairly even.

After 42 minutes Trearddur took the lead with a thunderous strike from Asa Thomas, who made it 48 goals for the season.

Cemaes were kicking downhill in the second half and applied a lot of pressure.

As early as the 48th minute it was all-square when Shane Pell scored with a magificent shot for the hosts.

The 10 men battled well and defended with real determination, midfielders putting in a great shift closing down to stop any of the home possession converting into chances.

Myles Jones was relentless with his running and challenges as were Tom Scott and Callum Mcminimee.

Trearddur also had chances on the break but could not make them count.

The game was pretty even before in the 80th minute a pass put a Cemaes player through with youngster Jake Davies giving chase. He attempted a tackle but unfortunately it was deemed to be a foul and the ref had no option but to send him off as he was the last man.

Now down to nine men, Trearddur saw out the game really well, Les Davies marshalling the back line brilliantly.

Asa Thomas could have sneaked it late on, but his shot was deflected away.

Gwalchmai 3 Menai Bridge Tigers 3

Player-manager Craig Evans’ 95th minute equaliser rescued a point for Gwalchmai against the leaders.

Bridge looked set to win it courtesy of a Callum Graves hat-trick which boosted him to 35 goals this season.

Menai took a 31st minute lead when a low drive from Elliot Breaks hit the foot of the post and fell to the feet of Graves for an easy finish.

After 35, Leon Owens played a ball over the top which was chased down by Graves, the forward rounding Caron Hughes in the Gwalchmai net to grab his second of the game.

Eight minutes into the second half, Gwalch pulled one back. Breaks was penalised for handball after the ball hit his arm from close range. Connor Owen stepped up to convert the spot-kick.

On 55 Graves completed his hat trick, converting from close range at the back post after good work from Callum Davidson.

Connor Owen cut the arrears to 3-2 before five minutes into stoppage time Craig Evans bundled the ball over the line to rapturous celebrations from the home support.
