Cymru North – wins for Airbus, Mountain and Gresford; Aberffraw grab first away point, Denbigh Reserves upset Nomads

FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL – FEBRUARY 21

JD CYMRU NORTH

Flint Mountain 3 Mold Alexandra 0

After losing twice at Mold previously this season revenge was sweet for Mountain as a Jack Parry double helped them to victory at the Essity Stadium.

The deadlock was broken in the 32nd minute when Ryan Kershaw lofted a free kick into the box and Andy Brown headed home.

Things swung considerably in Mountain’s favour in the 45th minute when Mold substitute Dafydd Griffith was red-carded for handball on the line.

Parry put away the penalty to hand the hosts a commanding advantage at the break.

Flint needed a third for extra security and it came in the 75th minute when 19-year-old Parry notched his 11th league goal of the campaign.

Jack Sconce was brought down, but advantage was played, substitute Kieran Ball played the ball into space and Parry curled into the corner for 3-0.

Gresford Athletic 2 Bangor 1876 0

A third league win on the bounce for Gresford lifted them up to eighth place in the Cymru North.

Athletic got off to a flyer when in just the second minute Charley Edge fired the home side in front.

Charlie Mann was denied by a fine save from Carl Jones before the lead was doubled in the 18th minute.

This time Mann would not be foiled as his superb volley flew into the net.

Prestatyn Town 0 Airbus UK Broughton 2

George Peers struck at the double for Airbus who returned to the Cymru North summit.

Peers netted first on 19 minutes with a side-footed finish from just inside the penalty area after a loose ball landed at his feet following a fine Robbie Williams save.

Town produced a couple of chances of their own, but come the interval it remained 1-0.

Early in the second half, a glancing header from Peers hit the post, but the Wingmakers did manage to make it two on 65 minutes.

A wonderful ball forward by Nathan Williams split the home defence for Peers to get his second of the game.

FAW RESERVE LEAGUE NORTH EAST

Denbigh Town Reserves 2 Connah’s Quay Nomads U18s 1

Smashing result for Denbigh over the second-placed team.

Tomos Salisbury was star of the show for the hosts with goals on 23 and 69 minutes.

Josh Mather pulled one back for the visitors on 80, but that was the end of the scoring.

NORTH WALES COAST WEST PREMIER DIVISION

CPD Llanystumdwy 2 CPD Aberffraw 2

Darren Lewthwaite’s penalty six minutes into stoppage time earned Aberffraw their first point in seven attempts.

Llanystumdwy appeared to be in command after first half goals from Owen Pritchard and Arwyn Jones put them two-up.

Berffro refused to give in, however, and Lewthwaite pulled one back after 71 from a Dion Billing assist.

Then came that last-gasp penalty which earned the visitors just a second point of the season and the first on their travels.
