Halkyn (15) 295-4 Bangor 2nd XI (0) 71-10

Matthew Towey made it two centuries against Bangor seconds this season, his latest effort a career best 117 in Halkyn’s huge victory at Pant Newydd.

Opener Towey hit 16 fours in his 107-ball knock as the hosts compiled a mammoth 295-4 off 45, Nathan Roett adding 83 not out. Towey and Roett put on 142 for the third wicket, Hadi Zaidi snaring 2-48 for the visitors.

The Citizens were sent packing for just 71, Gareth Thomas 3-13, James Beresford 2-16 and Ben Roberts 2-20.

Mold (12) 216-7 Gresford (3) 212-10

Mold hero Ewan Hill is applauded off the field after his match-winning century

A 16th straight win for leaders Mold was certainly hard-earned and owed much to the heroics of young Ewan Hill, who recorded a maiden first team century which led his side to victory.

Gresford were all out for 212 in the 45th and final over, openers Wes Evans (88) and Daniel Williams (60) forming a stand of 116.

Skipper Isaac Allen took 3-12 and Munowar Samsodien 3-28 for the hosts.

In response, wicket-keeper and opener Hill held everything together, but wickets fell regularly at the other end, putting the result in constant doubt.

When Jon Crane departed for a lively 29, Mold were 190-7 and certainly not home and dry.

However, the mainstay’s new partner Samsodien held firm, and off the penultimate ball, Hill struck a boundary to finish on 102 not out and seal a home win by three wickets.

The atmosphere at Chester Road was electric.

Gareth Bell collected 2-27 for Gresford, who pushed the table-toppers all the way.

Pontblyddyn (3) 112-10 Hawarden Park (12) 113-6

Ian Martin’s superb figures of 4-9 off nine overs went a long way towards securing second-place Hawarden Park the points at Alder Meadow.

Gethin Thomas top-scored with 33 as Pont were all back in the hutch for 112, Michael Wootton (2-22) and Tom Norris (2-26) providing good backup for the mesmerising Martin.

Park reached the winning post on 113-6 off 28.2, Vishwa Manawaduge an impressive 4-21 off nine for the hosts.
