NORTH WALES COAST WEST PREMIER DIVISION

CPD Boded 3 Bethesda Athletic 2

Boded clinched fifth place in the Premier after a narrow victory over a Bethesda side already crowned champions eight days earlier.

Pesda started like title winners as they took a two-goal lead inside 25 minutes, Joe Todd on target from the penalty spot before Kyle Hartleb netted from a Corey Lundstram assist.

However, by half time the green and white army were 3-2 up!

Chris Jones opened the home account on 29 from a Dylan Griffith assist, then Casey Boylan levelled after 35, Tom Kelly the chance provider.

And the comeback was complete when Griffith notched his 16th goal of the season in first half added time, Osian Cai Williams assisting.

No further goals in the second half, so a fine end to their first campaign at Tier 4 level for Boded.

It was also an emotional night for defender Joe Caven, who announced he has played his final game for the club. A tremendous servant to Anglesey football over the years.

CPD Pentraeth 5 Gwalchmai 3

Playing their 10th game in the space of a month, there is little wonder Gwalchmai struggled for a result at Bryniau tonight.

Nonetheless, still a fine scoreline for next-to-bottom Pentraeth over opponents who had already sealed runners-up spot by winning two nights earlier.

Eighteeen-year-old Charlie Dales again showed what a promising player he is with a double, while the hosts added further goals through Sion Jones, Dylan Jones (pen) and Matthew Parry.

Dion Jones’ 25th goal this term had brought Gwalch level during the first half, but the visitors found themselves 5-1 down before producing a late rally, John Jones with his first of the season before the unstoppable Connor Owen put away his 30th of 2024-25.

Kinmel Bay 0 Penmaenmawr Phoenix 0

A draw was enough for Penmaenmawr to clinch the Premier title and complete a tremendous treble of league championship, Cookson Cup and NWCFA Intermediate Cup.

More to follow on this in a separate article.

Kinmel Bay will finish runners-up after another fine campaign where they also reached the Cookson Cup Final.

Glantraeth 1 CPD Llannerchymedd 4

Big win on the road for Llannerchymedd and a disappointing end to a mixed season for Glantraeth.

Ben Hughes edged Medd in front on 29 minutes before Glan’s Andy Clarke missed a penalty after 32.

However, Clarke set up Connor Gordon for the equaliser close to the break.

In the second half, the Cae Tan Parc outfit raced clear, Dan Thomas and sub Cai Miller on target before Arden Gisbourne rounded off a fantastic season with his 30th goal in all competitions.

NORTH WALES COAST WEST PREMIER DIVISION

Gwalchmai 7 CPD Llanystumdwy 4

That man Connor Owen scores again – and the fans behind the goal love it! Picture: DAI SINCLAIR

What an amazing game this was!

Gwalchmai led 4-1, were pegged back to 4-4, but then found a second wind and went on to triumph 7-4.

As Paul Weller once famously sang “That’s Entertainment”.

In the sixth minute Connor Owen nudged Gwalch in front via a Dion Jones assist, but Mabon Owen levlled after 18, Guto Gwenallt laying on the goal.

Craig Evans’ side were in command by half time, Llion Vaughan and Dion Jones’ 23rd goal of the campaign making it 3-1. Ieuan Lloyd and Connor Owen supplied the assists.

Connor Owen added a fourth for Gwalch a minute into the second period, but Llanystumdwy roared back with three goals in 12 minutes – Guto Gwenallt, Guto Griffith and Owen all on target.

With at least 25 minutes left, and 4-4 the state of play, people must have been thinking inside the ground this game could produce just about any end score.

Gwalch stepped up a gear in the closing 10 minutes, Vaughan netting his second, Josh Owen assisting, then Connor Owen completed his hat-trick, Tyler Jones the supplier, before Dion Jones struck again.

In the 90th minute, Guto Gwenallt was red-carded for the visitors.
