NORTH WALES COAST EAST: Kinmel Bay claim victory, leaders Amateurs hit nine, 10 for Llandyrnog

NORTH WALES COAST EAST LEAGUE – JANUARY 31

PREMIER DIVISION

Mochdre Sports 2 Kinmel Bay 3

Unbeaten in 11 and now up to third – Kinmel Bay are steadily making themselves major players in the Premier Division title race.
Having drawn 0-0 with Mochdre at home in the league and losing to them 2-0 in the Intermediate Challenge Cup, the Morfa men probably felt a win over Sports was overdue – on Saturday they delivered it.
Mochdre made the early impact and took a 15th minute lead when Leon Hender found the net, Kai Davies setting him up.
It stayed 1-0 until first half added time when a long Liam Jones free kick was headed on and Charlie Jones chested the ball down on the right-side of the box before volleying a fierce missile into the roof of the net.
Bay’s second goal on the hour was another beauty.
Again, Liam Jones delivered a free kick from his own half and the ball was played by Josh Parry into the path of captain Mathew Beach, whose thunderbolt from more than 20 yards flew high into the net over keeper Nic Bould.
The points were all but sealed in the 90th minute when Matty Rees found Anthony Jones, whose drilled effort from the right of the box deflected past a stranded keeper.
Mochdre did manage a reply in the 95th minute through Paddy Hold, but it was too late to save them.from a first defeat in five games.

CPD Cerrigydrudion 1 CPD Y Glannau 0

Tirion Griffiths’ 17th minute penalty was enough to earn vastly-improved Cerrig three points at the expense of a Glannau outfit now winless in three.

Llandudno Amateurs 9 Bro Cernyw 0

Seven league wins on the bounce and 11 without loss for Premier leaders Amateurs.
The Llandudno side returned to the summit on goal difference with a thrashing of visitors Bro Cernyw.
Chris Smyth was the star man for the hosts with four goals, new signing from Penmaenmawr Phoenix, Billy Sieben, netted twice, Azz Rogers, Morgan Thomas and Danny Hughes also on target.

Llandudno Junction 2 Glan Conwy 2

Another good point for Glan Conwy after celebrating their first win of the campaign seven days earlier.
Greg Hall struck first for Junction on 21 minutes, Franky Gughrill equalised after 30, but Jack Williams restored the Railwaymen’s lead with 38 gone.
Glan made it two-apiece when Cyril Carey profited from a Mezz Knight assist with 58 gone and there were no further goals.

Llanfairfechan Town 2 Conwy Borough Swifts 5

Four goals in four second half minutes sealed the three points for Swifts in Saturday’s triumph at the Recreation Ground.
Harry Croston gave Llanfairfechan a third-minute lead, but Cieran Williams made it one-each with 44 on the clock.
Just past the hour, Sam Jones nudged Conwy ahead, in no time Isaac Carey added a third, Williams completed a brace to make it six goals in four games since joining from Llanrwst, then recent signing Alfie Banning made it 5-1. Four goals between the 61st and 65th minutes.
Shellshocked ‘Fechan did manage a 77th minute reply through Thomas Croston, but by then the game was lost.

Rhos United 2 CPD Llansannan 2

Two late goals from Gwion Bibby salvaged a draw for Llansannan, but two points dropped meant the villagers lost the Premier leadership.
After a goalless first half, strikes on 50 and 60 from Adam Williams put next-to-bottom Rhos in command, and it looked like that was that until captain Bibby hit back on 88 and 90+2.

DIVISION ONE

CPD Blue Bridge 2 Crozzy 2

Joe Smith rescued a point for Blue Bridge with an 88th minute leveller at Coronation Gardens, Rhyl.
Crozzy led at half time through a Charley Kemp penalty after 33, but Tom Bamber made it 1-1 three minutes into the second period.
Danny Talbot netted from the spot on 61 to restore the away lead, but recent addition Smith was on hand to bag that late equaliser.

Llandyrnog United 10 Prestatyn Wanderers 0

Two goals apiece from Kyle Lally, Luke Appleby, Dan Davies and sub Ifan Clayton, plus one apiece from Danny Calvert and William Clayton secured Llandyrnog their biggest win in many a year.
The result keeps the Cae Nant club, in their 50th anniversary season, in the Division One top three.

Prestatyn Sports 5 Llysfaen 2

Sports maintained their nine-point lead at the top with a 5-2 defeat of battling Llysfaen at The Meadows.
Scott Stewart and Alfie Griffiths put the hosts two-up before 16-year-old Alex Tate replied near to half time for the visitors.
Matty Griffiths struck twice in the second half for Sports to make it 14 goals in 12 league games and 15 in total this season, sub Osian Davies, just 16, also on target.
Mike Chapman scored for the fourth game in succession when he hit a second for the travelling side.

Rhuddlan Town 2 CPD Henllan 2

Riley Patterson and Callum Lloyd hit the net for Rhuddlan, Harry Payne and Josh Griffiths on the scoresheet for Henllan, who led 2-1 but will have been more than satisfied with a point.
