The football was secondary on Saturday as players, officials, management and supporters at grounds across North Wales observed a minute’s silence in honour of Morgan Jones, the CPD Llannefydd striker, who sadly passed away last week.

The mood was particularly sombre at Mynydd Isa, where the home club faced Llannefydd in an Ardal North West match.

Morgan Rees Jones, 23, was a much-loved and highly-respected player who had also represented CPD Caer Clwyd and CPD Henllan in recent seasons.
