LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST

Conwy Borough 2 Trearddur Bay 4

Three former Conwy players combined to sink their old club on Saturday.

Bay made it a double over a Borough side they narrowly defeated 3-2 at the end of November thanks to goals from ex-Tangerines Toby Jones (2, 1 pen), Sean McCaffrey and Anthony Marshall.

In a fast start from the visitors, a well-worked move down the right saw the ball fall to McCaffrey, the midfielder firing a half-volley into the back of the net.

Bay went on to control the rest of the half and were unlucky not to have added a few more goals to their lead, chances falling to Dewi Thomas, Kian Hughes and Dan Evans, but none were able to convert.

Half Time Conwy 0-1 Trearddur Bay

Conwy seemed re-energised in the second half and were rewarded on 53 minutes, Will Edwards finding himself through on goal and finishing well into the bottom corner.

Trearddur hit back a few minutes later, Toby Jones with a fine strike from outside the area.

Bay aimed to extend the lead but a series of errors while attacking saw Conwy back in on goal and Edwards got his second of the afternoon to level up the contest once again.

Conwy’s tails were now up and only a magnificent save from Paul Pritchard stopped the hosts taking the lead on 65 minutes.

The islanders ralled, with the returning Sion Edwards delivering an inch-perfect corner on 68 minutes and Marshall heading home.

The points were secured when Lennon Owen was brought down in the area to win a penalty. Toby Jones made no mistake in stoppage time.

Holyhead Hotspur 1 CPD Pwllheli 1

Hotspur had to settle for a point against nine-man Pwllheli.

The visitors took a 17th minute lead through Ashley Ainsworth, who scored the winning goal against Porthmadog the weekend before.

It stayed 1-0 up to half time, but on 57 minutes, a Kyle Murphy free kick was lofted into the area, Dylan Summers-Jones headed on and Kane Roberts applied a lovely left-foot volleyed finish over keeper Morgan Jones.

Pwllheli had player-manager Carl Jones dismissed on the hour for a second yellow, then soon after Cory Williams missed a penalty for the hosts.

Ainsworth also walked for two yellows on 73 minutes, but the Holy Islanders could not find a winner.

Menai Bridge Tigers 2 CPD Y Felinheli 7

After a mini-revival which delivered back-to-back wins, Menai Bridge were brought down to earth with a bump on Saturday as dynamic visitors Felinheli hit seven at Treborth.

Felin were at their sharpest in the first half, club record marksman Gruff John hitting a hat-trick and Aled Griffith also on target – 4-0 at the break.

Noah Humphreys, Aled Hughes and a second for skipper Griffith made it 7-0 by the 65th minute before Tigers stemmed the tide with replies from Callum Freeman and Callum Graves, Sion Hogan with a pair of assists.

CPD Nantlle Vale 1 CPD Llannefydd 5

Llion Morris made it nine goals in six games with a second half hat-trick after coming on as a sub after 55 minutes at Maes Dulyn.

This was another highly impressive result for Llannefydd, who recently whipped leaders Porthmadog 4-0 at home.

Sam Jones struck first after 17 minutes at Nantlle, but Zac Pike levelled in first half stoppage time.
The second half was all Llannefydd, Mathew Jones making it 2-1 before Morris added further goals on 65, 83 and 88 minutes.

NFA FC 1 Connah’s Quay Town 0

Harrison Bellis’ 84th minute net-finder sealed NFA their first win in six attempts.

A recent signing from Denbigh Town, substitute Bellis notched his second goal in four appearances since joining NFA from a Jay Whitehouse assist.

St Asaph City 1 Llanrwst United 1

Jake Walker handed improving St Asaph a 25th minute lead, but a Sam Thomas goal early in the second half earned Llanrwst a point

Bow Street 3 Radnor Valley 3

Although Bow extended their lead at the summit to two points, Saturday’s draw meant the table-toppers are now without a win in three.

Second-place Dolgellau, who were not in action on Saturday, now have two games in hand on Bow and are just those two points behind.

Saturday’s cracker at Cae Piod saw the hosts take a 2-0 lead through a Matthew Croose own goal and Callum Page penalty inside the first 20 minutes.

Radnor responded after the break with goals from Thomas Edwards and Joe Price to level it, but Richie Ricketts restored the home lead on 72.

However, Radnor would not be denied, Price making it 3-3 from the penalty spot on 80.

Cefn Albion 3 Llandrindod Wells 0

Alex Williams bagged all three goals for Albion, striking on 11, 81 and 90 minutes.

Llangollen Town 0 Llanuwchllyn 5

Mighty stuff from Sion Tudor’s side, Tomos Evans with a hat-trck comprising goals after 65, 76 and 87 minutes after top-scorer Meilir Williams made it 28 for the season, having earlier netted on 18 and 60.

Rhos Aelwyd 1 Brickfield Rangers 1

Defender Steve Watkins gave Brickfield a 24th minute lead, but Ryan Jenkins replied for Rhos after 47 to secure a point.
