NORTH EAST WALES LEAGUE REPORTS – SATURDAY, MAY 3

NEWFL Premier Division Cup Final

Mynydd Isa 3 Rhostyllen 1

Mynydd Isa could make it a double-double this weekend.

The first team have done their part – adding the Premier Cup to the Premier Division title they won two weeks earlier at the weekend.

Now Isa’s second string, already Reserve Division Group A champions, can also complete a pair if they beat Corwen Reserves in this Saturday’s Reserve Cup Final.

Liam Evans’ first team came from behind on Saturday to lift the Premier Cup with a 3-1 success over Rhostyllen.

Simon Sedgwick’s side led at the break courtesy of a Tom Douglas goal on the stroke of half time – his 24th of the season.

However, Isa roared back after the interval, Braden Lavin making it 1-1 on 51 minutes before James Beck quickly added another after 54.

Victory was sealed when Nathan Mendoza notched his 23rd goal of the campaign with 79 played.
