NWCFA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE WEST REPORTS OCTOBER 13

Trearddur Bay Development 5 CPD Nefyn United – Tim Datblygu 3

An eight-goal thriller saw Trearddur Bay emerge victorious to maintain top position in the table.

Although the goals flowed at Lon Isallt, both keepers produced brave, outstanding displays – Dan Williams for Bay and Nefyn’s Gruffudd Roberts.

Cameron Buckley put Trearddur ahead on 17 minutes before missing a penalty after 33.

Nefyn fought back strongly, goals late in the first half from Noa Griffith and Jacob Walker giving them a half time lead.

Trearddur rallied after the break, Noa Owen and Morgan Rowlands putting them 3-2 up before the hour.

Nefyn were reduced to 10 men when Walker was dismissed for a second yellow and Bay were soon 4-2 in front through Buckley.

Griffith struck again for a Penwaig outfit which would not lie down, making it 4-3 entering the final quarter of the match.

Rowlands’ second and Bay’s fifth on 80 minutes gave the hosts welcome breathing space and there were no further goals.

CPD Pentraeth Development 5 Nantlle Vale Development 3

Another eight-goal stormer took place at Bryniau, where hosts Pentraeth ran out the winners.

Charlie Dales (2, 1 pen), Dion Owen, Callum Roberts and Josh Camilleri shared the home goals, 16-year-old Iwan Jones hitting back with a hat-trick for Vale.

CPD Pwllheli – Tim Datblygu 2 Llanrug United Development 3

Berian Llwyd’s 90th minute clincher kept Llanrug level on points with leaders on goal difference Trearddur Bay.

Josh Evans struck first for the visitors, but a Cai Tate double handed Pwllheli the lead at half time.

Evans levelled it on 57 before Llwyd bagged the winner.

CPD Henllan Development 0 CPD Y Glannau Development 1

Jerry Abbott’s 78th minute net-finder was enough to bank the points for Y Glannau.

Henllan had Owen Sidney dismissed on 85 minutes for a second yellow.

Mochdre Sports Development 3 Bow Development 4

Both Bow teams won 4-3 at the weekend, the Development side following the example of the firsts with a narrow triumph at Mochdre.

In a cracking first half, Chris Smyth edged Mochdre ahead, then provided the assist for Scott Roberts to make it 2-0.

A Kai Paolucci strike and Barry Roche penalty brought Bow back on terms, then Smyth missed from the spot for the hosts before the turnaround.

Loui O’Carroll netted twice in three minutes before the hour to put the visitors 4-2 to the good, and although Jac Thomas pulled one back, it was not enough to stave off defeat for Sports, who had Louis Davies sent off for two yellows late on.

Rhyl Albion Development 4 Prestatyn Wanderers Development 0

No stopping Albion in this one, Gary Fazackerley (2), Elliot Price (penalty) and Sam Jones, who also provided two assists, supplying the home goals.

All this after the hosts were reduced to 10 men after just 14 minutes when Alfie McHale saw red.

Riley Cranham was dismissed for the visitors after 44 for a second yellow.
