Gareth Wilson’s side will be crowned Ardal North East champions if they draw or win their final league match at home to Radnor Valley this Saturday.

Bricky are now level on points with leaders Bow Street – who have not applied for promotion – but behind the Ceredigion village side on goal difference.
Jay Richardson gave the hosts a 21st minute lead at Clywedog Park on Saturday, wth late second half goals from captain Kiran Russell and Dominic Doherty sealing the result.
Despite being top of the table regularly over the campaign, Dolgellau finish outside the promotion picture in fourth.
Llanuwchllyn 7 Radnor Valley 0

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST – FINAL TABLE
Trearddur Bay 2 Corwen 1
Morgan Rowlands’ 89th minute decider clinched the win which ensured Trearddur Bay finish fourth in their debut season in Ardal North West.
It is a good achievement for the Beach Boys, who went undefeated in their last seven league games.
Had they not been so heavily weighed down by cup commitments, the Anglesey side could well have finished higher.
After a goalless first half at Maes Cynlas, Sean McCaffery put Bay in front after 57 minutes, Rowlands with the assist.
Corwen’s impressive marksman Sam Henry made it 1-1 with 81 gone, but Dewi Thomas set up Rowlands for the late winner.
