Saturday, October 11
Gresford Athletic 0 Buckley Town 7
Substitute Aled Bellis plundered a 20-minute hat-trick as Buckley Town recorded their biggest ever JD Cymru North victory.
Connor Littler’s header and Oli Blayney’s powerful close range finish put the Bucks two goals ahead at half-time.

Luke Mariette scored for the second consecutive game to make it 5-0 six minutes later, while Bellis pocketed two more late goals to complete a stunning treble and seal an emphatic away win.
Flint Mountain 0 Airbus UK Broughton 2
League leaders Airbus earned a 2-0 victory away to a hard-working Flint Mountain.
Mountain kept the Wingmakers at bay for over an hour, but Mark Allen’s side eventually found the breakthrough on 63 minutes thanks to Kieran Evans’ deflected effort from distance.
George Peers was sent off in stoppage time as he received two yellow cards in quick succession, but Airbus nonetheless sealed victory two minutes later when James Davies lobbed Mountain goalkeeper Dom Garner.
Guilsfield 2 Denbigh Town 1
Guilsfield stretched their unbeaten streak in the league to four matches as they came from behind to triumph 2-1 over Denbigh Town at Clos Mytton.
Scott McHarrie capitalised on a defensive mistake to put Denbigh ahead in the 18th minute, but Jake Cook fired home from Chris Cathrall’s long throw to level the contest just after the half-hour mark.
Guilsfield’s winning goal arrived with 61 minutes on the clock as Sam Flory netted his second goal in as many games with a neat finish into the bottom corner.
Holyhead Hotspur 1 Ruthin Town 3
Ruthin won away from home for the first time this season as they defeated still winless Hotspur
Luca Meek’s strike on the edge of the area gave Holyhead the lead after just four minutes, but Jamie Nash levelled in the 20th with his close range finish from Joel Giblin’s cross.
Giblin found the net himself to complete the turnaround for Ruthin on 39 minutes, before he set up Dave Forbes to score his first goal for the club in first-half stoppage time.
Holywell Town 4 Penrhyncoch 1
Jamie Breese bagged a hat-trick as second-place Holywell earned a 4-1 home win against bottom-of-the-table Penrhyncoch .
Breese’s first goal arrived on the half hour as he fired home the rebound after seeing his initial effort saved, while Penrhyncoch were reduced to 10 men on the stroke of half-time as Rhys Jenkins was shown a straight red card.
Breese doubled the lead three minutes into the second half, but Penrhyncoch earned a surprising lifeline just before the hour when Owain Evans scored from the penalty spot.
Holywell restored their two-goal cushion seven minutes later when Craig Lindfield fired home from Zak Kempster-Down’s cross, before Breese completed his treble in the 80th minute.
Llandudno 2 Caersws 0
Third-place Llandudno remain just one point behind the top two, with a game in hand, following their 2-0 home win over Caersws.
Tudno were reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute as Tom Stephens was shown a straight red card, but the Seasiders still remarkably scored twice before half-time as Aidan Higgins and Jordan Pownall each netted their first goals for the club. A sixth consecutive clean sheet on home turf made sure of victory.
