Holywell United got off to a flying start

NORTH EAST WALES FOOTBALL LEAGUE REPORTS – WEDNESDAY, JULY 24

PREMIER DIVISION

FC Queen’s Park 4 FC Plas Madoc 0

Sean Skimmings began the new season as he finished the last with a two-goal salvo for the Park in their home beating of Madoc.

The 33-year-old striker, who netted seven times in five games when he returned to the Wrexham club last season, scored on five and 45 minutes this evening at Queensway Stadium.

Matthew Bithell and Liam Davies added further home goals in the second half.

Saltney Town 0 Mynydd Isa 3

Sam Wainwright delivered a double and Mark Atkinson also found the net for Mynydd Isa in a superb away victory at Saltney, who have come down from Tier 3 this season.

Rhostyllen 3 Castell Alun Colts 1

Luca Nardo gave Casty a 37th minute lead at Rhostyllen before William Roberts equalised from the penalty spot close to the interval.

A second for Roberts on 75 and a strike from Taylor Williams three minutes later clinched a home triumph.

Greenfield 2 Hawarden Rangers 2

Captain Ryan Carrington’s 89th minute equaliser rescued a point for Greenfield.

Dean Hyland had given the hosts a 31st minute lead, but Connor Parry hit back for Hawarden with goals on 47 and 75 to edge the visitors in front.

Lex XI 1 Penyffordd Lions 1

Tuesday night’s battle at Stansty Park ended honours even.

New Lex striker Harry Massey, who notched 52 goals in all competitions for Championship side Overton last season, opened his account for the Lawmen in just the seventh minute.

Marcus Davies levelled for the Lions on 50 and 1-1 is how it ended.

CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION

Broughton United 5 Aston Park Rangers 1

A resounding win for league newcomers Broughton in their opening encounter.
Joshua Jones and Jake Jones both rippled the net in the first half to hand the hosts a 2-0 interval advantage.
Robbie Williams opened Rangers’ account early in the second period, but United regained control, Lewis Hopwood (2) and Ethan Evans tieing up the win.

Brymbo 5 Skippy 0

Thomas Potts, Shaun Wellings (2), Matthew Rees and Joshua Hughes shared the goals in an emphatic victory for Brymbo.

Holywell United 5 Cei Connah 1

Rhys Powell was a hat-trick hero as Holywell United kicked off in style by trouncing new boys Cei Connah.

Kieran Durkin and sub Owen Marley added singles for the winners.

Johnstown 0 Overton Recreational 0

No separating the sides at Matty Jones Circle. Goalless draws are very rare in the Championship.

CPD Sychdyn United 1 Rhydymwyn 3
