LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST LATEST NEWS

CPD Y Rhyl 1879 will be crowned tier 3 Ardal North West champions if they win at Llanrwst United on Saturday.

Any other result at Parc Gwydir, and if Holyhead Hotspur are victorious at home to Corwen, the title race goes on.

Rhyl are currently on 65 points from 28 games with a goal difference of +48, while Hotspur have 57 from 27, GD + 52. Each team plays 30 matches.

The battle to finish top now lies between just the Lilywhites and Spurs. Both sides are firm favourites to end up second and compete in a promotion play-off if they do not win the title.

Three Ardal North West matches took place on Wednesday night, Llanrwst winning 1-0 at Llannefydd, St Asaph pipping NFA 1-0, while Trearddur Bay v Felinheli ended 1-1.

A happy end to the season for St Asaph saw them beat local rivals NFA thanks to a fourth-minute goal from Josh Brown.

Holyhead Hotspur 7 Connah’s Quay Town 1

Kane Roberts notched his first hat-trick in a Hotspur shirt as the Holy Islanders continued their storming end to the season with a 7-1 drubbing of Connah’s Quay.

Also on target for the home side were Corey Jones, Jacob Godsman-Pilling, plus subs Shay Murphy and Kenleigh Owen, Harris Thomas replying with a penalty.

Nap for Nantlle, Ashley Owen, Kevin Lloyd, Math Jones, Sion Jones and a Joshua Pugh own goal making up the home tally.

NFA 3 Llanrwst United 0

Great result for NFA with Ollie Staveley, Lewis Evans and 16-year-old sub Sam Parry-Jones all on target.

CPD Pwllheli 1 CPD Llannefydd 1

Llion Morris put Llannefydd ahead in the 73rd minute, but Ashley Ainsworth’s 14th goal of the season on 80 rescued a point for the hosts.

CPD Y Rhyl 1879 3 Porthmadog 1

After back-to-back defeats Rhyl returned to winning ways in style with an impressive victory over title challengers Porthmadog.

LOCK STOCK ARDAL LEAGUE CUP SEMI-FINAL

Goals from Tom Freeman, Steve Watkins and top-scorer Andy Vale sent Brickfield deservedly through to the final where either Porthmadog or Radnor Valley await.
