Sixteen-year-old grabs late equaliser on debut for Llanrwst United

ARDAL NORTH WEST – MARCH 5, 2025

Llangefni Town 1 (Hughes-Jones 27)
Llanrwst United 1 (Raloka 86)

Sixteen-year-old substitute Alex Raloka marked his first team debut for Llanrwst with an 86th minute equaliser at Cae Bob Parry on Wednesday night.

Raloka, who also netted on his first appearance for the reserves in February and has scored three in two games for that team, only came on in the 83rd minute for Math Hughes at Llangefni, but soon grabbed a vital goal from a Callum Parry assist.

For Llanrwst, who had earned a superb 3-1 victory over Goytre at the weekend to qualify for the FAW Amateur Trophy semi-finals, it was a tough task travelling to Cefni just four days later, but they proved their staying power by grabbing a point.

Town had taken a 27th minute lead through a fine free kick from Aron Hughes-Jones.

It remained 1-0 until Raloka’s late strike.

The Rwsters are up to seventh in the table with 10 league games remaining.

Currently fourth in Ardal North West, Llangefni have now completed their home fixtures.
