ARDAL NORTH EAST – REPORTS AND TABLE MARCH 22

Brickfield Rangers 0 Llanuwchllyn 1

Not only did Llanuwchllyn bring an end to Brickfield’s 11-match unbeaten run in Ardal North East, they also completed a league double over the Wrexham side whom they beat 4-0 at home last October.

Saturday’s battle between two of the chief title contenders was decided by a 50th minute strike from Joe Vaughan, Warren Aykroyd-Duckett with the assist.

For the visitors, it was a great response to the previous weekend’s 2-0 home loss against Llandrindod Wells – a first league defeat in 16 for Sion Tudor’s men.

Bow Street 5 Chirk AAA 0

Callum Page delivered a hat-trick – which included a penalty for second-place Bow Street.

Ryan Evans and Richie Ricketts, also with a spot-kick, completed a comfortable victory for Bow against relegated Chirk.

Builth Wells 2 Llanidloes Town 2

Builth’s recent dip in home form continued – and they needed a 93rd minute equaliser from Rhys Thomas to take a point against Llanidloes.

Thomas had earlier put the hosts ahead on 42 minutes, but Mason Jones levelled after 64 for the Daffs, whose front man Tyler Mallett then missed a penalty with 78 gone.

Jones made it 2-1 to Llani on 89, but Thomas’ second of the day rescued a draw.

Kerry 2 Dolgellau Athletic 3

Table-topping Dolgellau held onto the summit after a fine win at Dolforgan Park.

Dennis Bates, Gerwyn Williams and 16-year-old international Osian Morris provided the away goals, Luke Mumford and George Farrington replying.

Llanfair United 2 Cefn Albion 3

Owen Jones, Kien Morris and Alex Williams shared the goals which delivered maximum spoils for Albion, Matthew Stephens and a Dillon Austin own goal making up the Llanfair responses.

Llangollen Town 5 Llandrindod Wells 3

Jack Goulbourn (2), Ben Wilson, Iwan Hardy and William Cooke guided Llangollen to an impressive home success over inconsistent Llandrindod, who replied via Liam Hall (2, 1 pen) and Ruben Edwards.
