SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2

Holywell Town 5 Ruthin Town 1

Sweet revenge for Holywell as they whipped a Ruthin side which knocked them out of the Welsh Cup on penalties a fortnight earlier.
The Wellmen had unusually lost three games in a row before last Saturday’s clash saw them recover from a goal down to win comfortably.
It was a nightmare start for Johnny Haesldin’s side as Gwion Owen’s penalty put Ruthin in front inside just nine minutes. However, Danny Andrews headed home from Jamie Breese’s cross to make it one apiece just before the half hour .
Three goals in six minutes for Holywell after the hour mark – two from Breese and one from Danny Sullivan – put the hosts firmly in control and Andrews wrapped up the win in the 75th minute when his cross deceived a number of bodies and flew all the way into the net.

Buckley Town 3 Llay Miners Welfare 0

Buckley moved up to fourth in the table as Liam Driscoll’s hat-trick earned a 3-0 win at home to bottom side Llay.
After a goalless first half, Driscoll opened the scoring just two minutes after the break with a composed finish past Mike Platt. He added a second with a deft lob shortly after the hour, before completing his treble by poking beyond Platt on 70 minutes.

Caersws 8 Prestatyn Town 0

Caersws earned their biggest ever win in the JD Cymru North.
George Mitten’s header put the Bluebirds in front inside just four minutes, while Josh Astley doubled the lead in bizarre fashion in the 15th minute as he blocked a clearance from Prestatyn goalkeeper Robbie Williams and the ball trickled into the net.
Astley grabbed his second on the half hour, while Craig Harris made it 4-0 early in the second period. Prestatyn’s woes increased when James Stead was shown a straight red card soon after.
Callum Francis-Jones came off the bench and scored four minutes later, before Astley completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot
Substitute Max McLaughlin was involved as Caersws scored twice more late on, setting up Astley for his fourth before he put in another cross which was turned in for an own goal by Connor Whelan.

Guilsfield 4 Denbigh Town 3

Stoppage time drama at Clos Mytton saw Sean Jones’ 97th-minute winner earn Guilsfield a thrilling 4-3 verdict over Denbigh.
The hosts had earlier squandered a 2-0 lead as goals from James Smallwood and Jamie Hyne were cancelled out by Owen Davies and Sam Duffy by half-time.
Davies put Denbigh in front for the first time just two minutes into the second half when he sent a thunderous shot past Luke Evans.
However, Hyne got his second to equalise for Guilsfield in the 66th minute, before Jones – making only his second start since returning to the club – got an all-important touch on long throw into the area deep into stoppage time.
It was a first league win in over two months for Guilsfield, as Denbigh’s four-match unbeaten run in the JD Cymru North came to an end.

Mold Alexandra 1 Penrhyncoch 2

A late brace from Cameron Allen saw Penrhyncoch complete a stunning 2-1 comeback win away at Mold.
Fabrizio Murtas’ thumping finish put the Alex ahead in the 24th minute, which for most of the match looked to be enough to earn the hosts all three points.
However, a costly foul inside the area allowed Allen to step up from the penalty spot and fire home an equaliser in the 90th minute, before the teenager netted again in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
