LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH EAST REPORTS – OCTOBER 11

Lex XI 1 Penycae 3

New-look Lex did not get the desired result but they certainly performed well against an impressive Penycae at Stansty Park.
Star of the show for the visitors was hat-trick hero Zac Davies, who recorded his second three-goal haul in three matches.
Davies struck on 17, 31 and 69 minutes, the assists provided by Jack Orbell, Toby Nash and Thomas Edwards.
Sam Colley replied for the Law with the score at 2-0, Luca Filby with the assist.
As they continue to build Lex have welcomed two new faces to the fold. Elliot Bailey joins from Alderman in Cheshire and young goalkeeper Riley Came has been learning his trade at Blackburn Rovers academy

Builth Wells 1 Radnor Valley 3

Great action from Lant Fields of Builth Wells versus Radnor Valley. Picture and match report: STUART TOWNSEND – BARCUD-COCH PHOTOGRAPHY – many thanks

Radnor bounced back from their surprise cup defeat to lower-graded Tregaron Turfs last weekend to beat local rivals Builth Wells 3-1 on the Lant Field.
Following a goalless opening 45 minutes, it was the Bulls who finally broke the deadlock 12 minutes after the interval, when Harry Edwards latched on to a well-timed pass from Seth Bridgeman before maintaining his composure to slide the ball past the advancing Otto Jones in the Goats’ goal.
The New Radnor outfit hit back five minutes later when substitute Joey Price netted his first goal of the season courtesy of a 25 yard free-kick that beat Kham Steventon in the Builth goal.
The visitors went ahead for the first time in the 71st minute when Sam Sainsbury broke into the penalty area after being set free by Henry Shipley, despite appeals for offside from the hosts being turned down by referee Aled Jones, before tucking the ball past Steventon.
Valley made it 3-1 with eight minutes remaining when the ball was not cleared by the Bulls’ defence after Jack Clarke broke into the penalty area, and Charlie Beaumont smashed home the loose ball to secure all three points.

Cefn Albion 0 Llanfair United 4

A surprise result at The Muga saw second place Albion crash to Llanfair, Karl Seliaerts and Tomos Jones with two goals apiece for the Powys visitors.

Corwen 0 Knighton Town 0

All-square at the War Memotial Park with Knighton maintaining their unbeaten record.

Kerry 2 Llanrhaeadr 1

Eddie Clarke grabbed the winner for Kerry nine minutes over the 90 at MTJ Dolforgan Park.
William Roberts-Morris secured a half time lead for Llanrhaeadr with a 24th minute strike, but sub Luke Mumford equalised on 76 before Clarke’s late, late decider.

Llangollen Town 2 Llandrindod Wells 2

Llangollen were denied a first league win of the season by Reuben Baker’s 90th minute leveller for the visitors.
William Cooke’s 39th minute net-finder gave Llangollen a half time lead, but Daniel Hall made it one-apiece on 54.
The 17-year-old Cooke converted a penalty to edge Town 2-1 in front, but Baker’s late reply deprived the hosts of much-needed maximum spoils.

Rhos Aelwyd 1 Bow Street 3

Rhys Hughes, a Ryan Jenkins own goal and a penalty from Taylor Watts in the 93rd minute sealed three points for Bow Street.
Scott Reeves responded from the spot for Rhos Aelwyd to make it one-each in the first half.
