JD Cymru Premier: Wins for Colwyn Bay and Connah’s Quay, but Flint, Caernarfon and Bala defeated

JD CYMRU PREMIER LEAGUE SCORES/REPORTS – TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7

North Wales has four clubs in the Cymru Premier top six after Tuesday night’s action.

Flint Town United 0 Colwyn Bay 1

Jordan Davies’ fifth league goal of the season was enough to clinch Colwyn Bay maximum points at the Essity Stadium on Tuesday night.
Davies made the breakthrough on 28 minutes with a neat finish following a low Jamie Cumming cross from the left.
Bay had made the better start, Louis Robles unable to add the finishing touch after Sol Forde nodded down a right-wing corner.
Flint’s best effort of the first half saw Michael Burke’s left-foot screamer pushed over the bar by keeper Alex Brown.
The Silkmen also had the Seagulls defending desperately from a pair of deliveries from the left, while at the other end Ethan Roberts drilled across the face of goal.
Darren Stephenson missed two good opportunities to level for the hosts after the break, On both occasions, the striker was fed in on goal, but he firstly skewed wide and then allowed keeper Brown to make a block after delaying his shot a little too long.
Keeper Flint kicked off his line from a Forde header before gathering a Roberts strike at the second attempt.
The home stopped saved his side again, his body getting in the way of a Davies effort.
Late on Davies latched onto a long ball and raced into the box, but Burke produced a wonder tackle to deny the match-winner.

Bala Town 1 Connah’s Quay Nomads 3

Revenge was sweet for Nomads as they won 3-1 away to a Bala side which defeated the Deesiders by the same score at the Essity Stadium in August.
John Disney’s side took an 11th minute lead at Maes Tegid when Ben Nash forced the ball home following a scramble after a corner.
The lead was doubled on 13 when Callum West passed to Rhys Hughes, whose right-foot rocket flew past keeper Joel Torrance.
Bala pulled one back with 19 gone when Hussein Mehasseb converted a penalty after Callum Bratley brought down Louis Hall in the box.
It should have been 2-2 when Hall was in on goal, but Kit Margetson saved with his foot, then a Lassana Mendes effort looked goalbound before hitting team-mate Jacob Tarasenko in the back.
Nomads went 3-1 up in the 67th minute when Bratley’s low delivery from the right was fired home by West.
Hughes could have added a fourth late on, but Torrance did well to thwart him from close range.

Caernarfon Town 1 The New Saints 3

Champions The New Saints were good value for a comfortable victory at the Go Goodwins Stadium.
The writing was on the wall before the visitors took a 39th minute lead, a Rory Holden cross being controlled by Ryan Brobbel who lashed in the opener.
One became two when Danny Davies had ample time to drill low into the left-hand corner.
Town’s closest first half call saw Morgan Owen fire just wide from 20 yards.
Home glovesman Hari Thomas performed marvels to foil Ken Charles from point blank range before the leaders made sure of the spoils in the 92nd minute, Jordan Williams beating the keeper to a through ball before unselfishly setting up Holden to add number three.
There was still time for a Cofis consolation, Philip Mooney volleying in after the Saints defence failed to clear a free kick.

Barry Town United 0 Briton Ferry Llansawel 1

Llanelli Town 1 Cardiff Met 3

Penybont 2 Haverfordwest County 1
