FRIDAY, AUGUST 9

JD CYMRU NORTH

Colwyn Bay 1 Llay Miners Welfare 1

Promoted Llay will have come away the happier side after earning a draw at expected high-flyers Colwyn Bay.
The Wrexham-area visitors went ahead with an unfortunate own goal by Jay Owen to lead at half-time.
Craig Lindfield got Bay’s equaliser on 57 minutes and although the Seagulls pushed for a winner they could not find a way past Llay keeper Michael Jones.
Colwyn had early chances with Sol Forde heading just wide from a corner while a Josh Carey shot clipped the post.
Bay also had a big shout for a penalty waved away by the referee when Carey looked to be taken out in the box.
At the other end it needed a great tackle by Forde to deny Llay when they broke dangerously.
The second half equaliser came from a great cross by Cai Owen, helped on by Gwion Dafydd for Lindfield to score.
Jones later produced great stops to deny Lloyd Marsh-Hughes and Carey.

Flint Mountain 1 Gresford Athletic 0

Ben Lawrence’s superb 70th minute goal ensured newly-promoted Mountain made it six points out of a possible nine to far.
Lawrence curled a stunning effort into the top corner from the edge of the box to seal revenge for Aden Shannon’s side against a Gresford outfit which won 3-0 in the Nathaniel MG Cup at Essity Stadium on July 19.
Mountain hit the woodwork twice and had an effort cleared off the line, while Athletic’s Ben Buley and Haci Ozlu forced fine saves from Reece Thompson.

Llandudno 3 Penrhyncoch 0

Ahmed Ali scored his first goal for Llandudno

A well-deserved first league win of the campaign for the Seasiders.
Tudno started strongly, Billy Nicholas’ header well saved by Leigh Jenkins, who then tipped an Alex Boss volley over the bar.
The deadlock was broken on 32 minutes when Ahmed Ali celebrated his first goal of the season.
Llandudno upped their game in the second half and within two minutes of the restart Harvey Bennett made it 2-0.
Mark Cadwallader added a third after 53 and that was game over.

Prestatyn Town 4 Bangor 1876 1

This match was reported on in-depth by Grassroots North Wales on Friday night.
Prestatyn were impressive winners courtesy of goals from Luke Wiltshire, Zebb Edwards (pen), Alfie Vaughan and Oliver Buckley, Tom Mahoney replying for 1876.
Visiting keeper Carl Jones was red-carded midway through the second half following an accidental collision with Wiltshire, who was stretchered off and taken to hospital with what was later confirmed as a double leg-break.
The score was 2-1 at the time and the penalty awarded following the incident and taken by Edwards was brilliantly saved by substitute keeper Bradley Farrar in his first action in an 1876 shirt.
Liam Morris then missed a golden chance to equalise when he crashed a penalty against the bar for Bangor and Town capitalised with further goals from Vaughan and Buckley.
