FRIENDLY – FRIDAY, JUNE 13

Ynys Môn 8 (Osian Jones 3, Sam Jones 2, Dylan Summers-Jones 2, Cai Roberts)
Holyhead Hotspur 4 (Connor Owen 2, Cory Williams, Ifan Emlyn Jones)

Ynys Môn men’s squad were in great form as they kicked off their preparations for next month’s Island Games with an 8-4 victory over Holyhead Hotspur at Treborth.

Hotspur were late replacements for original opponents Trearddur Bay, and the club newly-promoted to the JD Cymru North could also take positives from Friday’s friendly.

There was a good attendance at Treborth

Llangefni Town’s Osian Jones will have been delighted at scoring a hat-trick for Môn. while CPD Dinas Bangor City 1876 duo Dylan Summers-Jones and Sam Jones, as well as Cai Roberts, shared the remainder of the goals.

Former Hotspur front man Summers-Jones bagged a double, as did Jones, with Roberts adding a single.

On the plus side for Hotspur, new signing Connor Owen, who joined this week from Gwalchmai, netted two on debut, while last season’s top-scorer Cory Williams and Ifan Emlyn Jones produced net-finders too.

Ynys Môn assistant-manager Gerwyn Roberts said: “It was a brilliant game and a decent test with a really good crowd in attendance. The management team were really pleased wth how the players played together for the first time and took huge positives out of it.”
