Cymru Premier: Reeves and Franklin score trebles as Flint and Nomads both win handsomely

JD CYMRU PREMIER REPORTS – OCTOBER 11

Flint Town United 4 Llanelli Town 0

How many times in Cymru Premier history has a player scored a hat-trick against the same team home and away in a single season?

Probably not that often, but Elliott Reeves of Flint Town United has achieved it in 2025-26 – ask poor Llanelli Town about it!

Reeves boosted his total for the season to nine league goals after his treble at the Essity Stadium returned the Silkmen to winning ways.

The 28-year-old frontman, in his third season with Flint, where he has netted a total of 54 goals in 66 appearances, strike on 16, 45+1 and 81 minutes against the bottom side, Jake Canavan also on target.

Barry Town United 2 Caernarfon Town 2

Third-place Caernarfon Town are now winless in their last four matches after being held to a 2-2 draw by Barry at Jenner Park on Saturday.

Eliot Richards put Barry ahead in the 17th minute, but Phil Mooney equalised for Caernarfon fon 40 when he headed home from Sion Bradley’s corner.

Iwan Lewis found the bottom corner with a first-time strike from just inside the area to complete a turnaround for the Cofis just before the hour, but Barry levelled the contest once again in the 79th minute when Callum Sainty fired past Hari Thomas.

Briton Ferry Llansawel 0 Connah’s Quay Nomads 3

Substitute Harry Franklin’s nine-minute hat-trick earned another impressive win for the on-form Nomads.

The Deesiders secured a third consecutive win away at Briton Ferry Llansawel.

After a goalless first half, Franklin was brought on at the break and had found the net inside six minutes as he latched onto Ben Nash’s long ball, raced into the area and squeezed an effort past Will Fuller at the near post.

Marco Fregapane robbed the ball off Dan Jefferies and squared it to Franklin to finish into an empty net in the 56th minute, before the sub sealed his hat-trick on the hour by tapping home from Rhys Hughes’ ball across the face of goal.

It is three clean sheets in the last four games for the Nomads, who are now only behind third-place Caernarfon on goal difference.

Colwyn Bay 0 Cardiff Met University 0

Nothing could separate Colwyn Bay and Cardiff Met in a goalless draw at The Blue Turtle Arena.

Bay striker Jordan Davies came agonisingly close to scoring in the first half when his close range header from Jamie Cumming’s cross was denied by the crossbar.

Met goalkeeper Sam Seager made saves at full stretch to deny Ethan Roberts and Lewis Sirrell, before the hosts were frustrated by the crossbar again as Aaron Williams’ header rattled the woodwork.

Despite their best efforts, Michael Wilde’s were forced to settle for a point and a third consecutive clean sheet,
