Ardal North East – Brickfield Rangers are now hot title favourites!

It surely has to be Brickfield Rangers’ Ardal North East title now!

Gareth Wilson’s side are joint leaders after Wednesday night’s 3-1 victory at Cefn Albion, but have two games in hand on Bow Street in top spot.

And what a match is in store on Saturday, when Rangers host Bow at Clywedog Park.

A Brickfield win will seal them the title, while a Bow victory would keep alive their hopes of finishing at the peak, but the Wrexham side would still remain favourites with home fixtures versus Dolgellau Athletic and Radnor Valley to come.

Tonight the top four looks like this (all teams play 30 matches)
Bow Street: Played 29 Points 62 Goal Difference +50
Brickfield Rangers: Played 27 Points 62 GD +37
Dolgellau Athletic: Played 29 Points 60 GD +35
Llanuwchllyn: Played 28 Points 57 GD +39

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH EAST – WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23
Cefn Albion 1 Brickfield Rangers 3

Brickfield recovered from a goal down to pick up three priceless points in their title quest at Clywedog Park tonight.

Jimmy Jones handed Albion a 23rd minute lead, but Thomas Williams levelled on the stroke of half time from an Andy Vale assist.

In the second half, an Aiden Fox double secured the spoils for Bricky.

Vale again provided the assist for Fox to net his first on 63 minutes. Then it was 3-1 after 70, Vale the net-finder, Tom Freeman the supplier.

Rangers have now won 13 of their last 17 league matches, including four in a row at just the right time.

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH EAST – SATURDAY, APRIL 19

Cefn Albion 0 Bow Street 2

Callum Page scored on 17 and 24 minutes to clinch an important away win for title hopefuls Bow Street on Saturday.

Kien Morris received a second yellow card for the home side on 78 minutes.

Dolgellau Athletic 1 Radnor Valley 4

Disaster for Dolgellau as their title dreams nosedived after a 4-1 home loss to Radnor Valley.

Not exactly the best of results for the Marian team which was further compounded by a nasty knee injury to forward Osian Morris.

The hosts found themselves three-down inside 35 minutes, Thomas Edwards with the first two before Charles Beaumont added a thord.

A Dennis Bates response gave Athletic hope, but Rob Evans’ side then had two players red-carded three minutes apart, Guto Pugh and Edward Powl-Jones both getting their marching orders.

To add insult to injury, Sam Salisbury made it 4-1 with 75 on the clock. Game over.

Kerry 0 CPD Llanuwchllyn 5

Meilir Williams boosted his season’s goal tally to 45 in all competitions with a double at Dolforgan Park.

Gwydion Ifan also delivered a pair and Joe Vaughan also registered on the scoresheet.

Llanidloes Town 0 Brickfield Rangers 3

Rangers stayed on the title trail with a three-goal success at KVM Park.

Andy Vale’s 34th goal of the season broke the deadlock two minutes before the interval.

Steve Watkins and Paige Wilding added further goals in the second period.
