Bontnewydd Development 0 Holyhead Hotspur Development 4
A good four-goal victory for Hotspur which came at a price as key players suffered injuries.
Goals from Cameron Buckley (2), Shay Murphy (penalty) and Huw Morris clinched success for the table-toppers.
Bont’s Leon Jarvis-Hughes was shown a straight red after 90 minutes, while Buckley missed out on a hat-trick after failing from the penalty spot.
Holyhead manager Scott Hakesley describes the day.
“Today we traveled to Cae Stanley, home of Bontnewydd. Having previously had good times on this pitch we fully knew Bont would come out strong and they didn’t disappoint.
“A closely contested first half, but to our joy Cameron Buckley slotted home to take us in one-up at half time. Interval team talk was about desire, fitness, talent and asking the question to the players if they can match us.
“Second half we finally got to play our football with Cameron getting his second.
“Shay Murphy grabbed a well deserved goal for his contribution up top and Huw Morris netted one late on with the whole team happy as they acknowledged his contribution.
“Today saw Ryan Woodruff and Alfie Diamond come back into the starting 11 and take MOTM combined, at 17 both putting in a very mature performance.
“We felt fully in control in the second half and showed why we’ve got a good squad, every player playing their part with several dubious tackles against us, one on Cameron Buckley as we wait for news on his arm at hospital.
“Also one on young Zac Williams which saw the Bont player being shown a straight red, Unfortunately the game turned sour but our professionalism shone through.
“The last 30 minutes saw 10 of our outfield players 18 years old and under who not once retaliated.
“As staff we’ve had private conversations as a squad but they are fully aware how important today’s win was and how proud we are of them.
“Today saw us being together 12 weeks unbeaten and happy with the progress made. We now look to kick on into the winter months and stay together as one.”
