JD CYMRU NORTH

Mold Alexandra 1 Holywell Town 2

Craig Lindfield made it 10 goals in 10 Cymru North matches for Holywell after his double secured a hard-earned victory at Alyn Park on Saturday.

The former Colwyn Bay striker is now joint top-scorer in the Tier 2 league alongside team-mate Jamie Breese and Airbus marksman George Peers.

Second-place Holywell remain level on points with Airbus after Lindfield’s brace sealed a 2-1 comeback win over Mold.

Owen Cordiner tucked away the rebound after his initial effort was saved to put Mold ahead in the 64th minute, but Holywell were level on 69 as Lindfield finished powerfully from a tight angle.

Lindfield completed the turnaround just two minutes later as his effort took a deflection and found a way past Joe Smith.

Penrhyncoch 1 Flint Mountain 4

Brilliant result for Flint Mountain.

The Flintshire club earned just a second win of the season – and first away from home – as they triumphed 4-1 at bottom-of-the-table Penrhyncoch.

The match was goalless after 40 minutes, but Kieran Owens, Sam John and Owen Cassidy remarkably all found the net in the space of five minutes to shock Penrhyncoch and earn a 3-0 lead at the break.

Owens grabbed his second of the afternoon on 68 minutes to make sure of victory before Dion Phillips bagged a late consolation for the Roosters.

Brickfield Rangers 1 Gresford Athletic 1

Neighbours Brickfield and Gresford both halted their three-match losing runs as they shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Clywedog Park.

Paul Johnson’s finish amid a goalmouth scramble earned Gresford the advantage after just 11 minutes, a lead they held until the 84th, when Brickfield found an equaliser through substitute Andy Vale.

Caersws 0 Guilsfield 0

Nothing could separate Caersws and 10-man Guilsfield as they played out a goalless stalemate on Saturday.

Sam Flory had a glorious chance to put Guilsfield ahead when he raced onto Spencer Parrish’s cross, but the forward could only guide the ball over the bar from inside the six-yard box.

Guils defender Adam Knott was sent off in first half stoppage time for a second bookable offence, but two crucial late saves from Luke Evans kept his clean sheet intact as Gavin Allen’s side stretched their unbeaten league run to five matches.

Newtown 1 Holyhead Hotspur 0

Newtown continued their perfect home record in the JD Cymru North this season as Devon Torry’s strike secured a 1-0 win over Holyhead Hotspur at Latham Park.

The decisive moment arrived six minutes into the second half as Torry rounded Holyhead goalkeeper Guto Hughes and slotted home his fourth league goal of the campaign.

The visitors’ hopes of a comeback were dashed when Callum Graves received a straight red card for his foul on Aidan McCann.
