NWCFA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE REPORTS – SEPTEMBER 29

DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE EAST

Bow FC Development 2 Rhyl Albion Development 2

Barry Roche scored the most stunning of 90th minute equalisers to earn Bow a point at home to Rhyl Albion.

With time running out, Roche took a throw-in wide left and had the ball headed back to him by Liam Brown.

From a good 35-40 yards, Roche let fly and with very little backlift sent a sublime strike in off the post, beating keeper Haydn Horsfield all ends up.

Albion were reduced to 10 men after 15 minutes when Gary Fazackerley was shown a second yellow card.

Bow took a 38th minute lead when Simon Roberts found the net, Kai Paolucci with the assist.

It remained 1-0 until the 72nd minute when 10-man Albion levelled through Sam Jones, Kyle Lally setting him up.

Disaster struck for the hosts after 78 when a Ryan Portman own goal put the visitors 2-1 ahead.

And it looked like that was it until Roche produced that late moment of magic. True gold – Ferrero Roche 😂😂😂😂

CPD Y Glannau Development 4 Kinmel Bay Development 2

Connor Helleur and Louis Gizzi both struck twice to earn a Glannau side which trailed 2-0 a fine victory over Kinmel Bay.

The visitors were in command after 27 minutes with Cameron Berry and Chris Evans both hitting the net.

And it stayed 2-0 up to half time only for the hosts to turn the tables in the second period with doubles from Helleur and Gizzi.

Mochdre Sports Development 4 CPD Henllan Development 5

Harry Payne was a hat-trick hero in Henllan’s away victory.

Oscar Price and George Pierce added singles for the visitors, Owen Woodfield,, Jacob Mylchreest, Harry Owen and Louis Davies all netting for the hosts.

Henllan went 3-0 up in the first half and were 4-2 in front at the interval.

Sports pulled it back to 4-4 before Payne bagged an 85th minute decider.

Prestatyn Wanderers Development 0 Penmaenmawr Phoenix Development 11

Billy Sieben (4), Corey Lundstram (3, 1 pen), Kyle Cooper (2), Cody Williams and captain Lewis Williams made up Phoenix’s 11-goal deluge.

With Billy’s surname meaning ‘seven’ in German, it would be great for a headline if he can score that many goals in a game one day.

DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE WEST

CPD Gaerwen Development 1 CPD Nefyn United – tim datblygu 2

Oisin Mcareavey handed Gaerwen a second-minute lead, but Nefyn fought back to win with goals from Elgan Jones on 38 and Luke Allaway with 89 on the clock.

CPD Pentraeth Development 1 CPD Llanberis Development 1

Prolific hitman David ‘Didi’ Jones handed Llanberis a third-minute lead only for Cai Evans-Hughes to level from the penalty spot on 12.

And that was the end of the scoring.

CPD Pwllheli – tim datblygu 5 Nantlle Vale Development 1

Tomos Pritchard (2), Iwan Roberts-Jones (2) and Cai Tate shared the goals as Pwllheli whipped the Vale, Oliver Bearman responding.

Trearddur Bay Development 1 Llanrug United Development 2

Leaders Trearddur Bay suffered their first defeat of the season as second-place Llanrug took the honours.

Josh Evans gave the visitors a 13th minute lead and things got tougher for the island hosts on 47 when Luke Jones was dismissed for a second yellow.

Jacob Davies levelled on 68, but Bay were reduced to nine when regular first team striker Asa Thomas was shown a straight red on 81.

And a miserable afternoon was sealed for Trearddur when sub Berian Llwyd set up Evans for an 88th minute winner.
