NORTH WALES COAST DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE: First win for Blue Bridge, Hotspur’s late decider, eight for Kinmel Bay
NORTH WALES COAST DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE – REPORTS OCTOBER 19
West Division
Holyhead Hotspur Development 2 CPD Mynydd Llandegai Development 1
Sub Jacob Owen scored the 88th minute goal which clinched an eighth win in nine starts for Hotspur who remain nine points clear at the top of the West Division.
Visitors Mynydd Llandegai took the lead on 20 minutes through Sebastian Samuel, but Sean Pritchard equalised close to half time, then fellow 17-year-old Owen bagged that late winner.
Both sides had a player dismissed on 62 minutes after being shown a straight red – Llandegai’s Samuel and Jordan Rowlands of Hotspur.
Winning manager Scott Hakesley discusses Sunday’s game.
“Today we welcomed Mynydd Llandegai to the New Stadium.
“The game finished 2-1 to ourselves and normally I’d go to lengths of how the game was played. Today I’m not doing that.
“Today I’m gonna focus on the togetherness and the will to win from what is a great bunch of young lads trying their best.
“We fully understand as staff we’ve had a great start and teams will come as strong as they can against us – it’s to be expected.
“However we continue to show progression, giving 16 year old Troy Patrick his league debut and 13 of today’s squad aged 22 and under. We also called up 2 prospects in Lucas Garmey and Reece Thomas to familiarise themselves with us as we continue to look to the future.
“To say I’m proud of each and everyone one of them is an understatement. Considering some things that happened today which I won’t go into.
“Sunday the 26th October we travel to Llanrug.
“Today’s MOTM went to Joe Jones, who was asked to play in 3-4 different positions and always gives his all.
“We move on together and a special mention to today’s ref David Griffiths. Top quality ref – they are hard to come by.”
