ARDAL NORTH EAST: Dale Davies double delivers goods for Llanuwchllyn in cup, no winners in league matches

ARDAL NORTH LEAGUE CUP ROUND TWO

CPD Llanuwchllyn 2 Llanfair United 0

Two Dale Davies goals ensured Llanuwchllyn advanced to the quarter-finals of the Ardal North League Cup where a home tie with Bow Street awaits.
Davies struck on 23 and 74 minutes to make it 16 goals for the season and 10 in his last nine appearances.
It was the second time this term that Davies had found the net twice against Llanfair.
With a few key absentees due to cup rules, and aware how tough Llanfair proved to be in a 3-3 league draw earlier this season, the hosts knew they were in for a battle.
And quite a test it proved to be, but Llanuwchllyn prevailed to reach the last eight.

Addrodiad Cymraeg

Llanfair Utd oedd yr ymwelwyr i Benllyn ddydd Sadwrn diwethaf yn ail rownd Cwpan y Gynghrair.
Gyda amryw yn absennol o achos rheolau y gwpan, ac o gofio fod y ddau dîm wedi cael gêm gyfartal yn y gynghrair yn gynharach yn y tymor, roedd tipyn o her yn wynebu’r hogiau.
Ac felly y bu, gyda Llanfair yn cystadlu gyda’r hogiau yn ffyrnig ym mhob safle.
Roedd canol cae Llanuwchllyn yn brwydro’n gyson am y bêl, gyda Ilan Hughes a Cynan Roberts yn dechrau meistroli. Roedd Dale Davies hefyd yn weithgar fel arfer, yn cau y gwrthwynebwyr yn gyson.
Daeth gôl agoriadol y gêm wedi 23 munud, yn dilyn symudiad da gan Lanuwchllyn ac ergyd bwrus gan Wil Owen. Arbedodd golwr Llanfair yr ergyd, ond fe adlamodd y bel i lwybr Dale Davies, ac fe gladdodd y bêl i gefn y rhwyd o chwe llath.
Cyfartal iawn oedd y chwarae weddill yr hanner, gyda Rhys Williams yn dod i’r adwy ar amryw achlysur i Lanuwchllyn yn y gôl.
Dechreuodd yr ail hanner yn yr un modd, yn gyfartal iawn, gyda’r ddau dîm yn cael ambell hanner cyfle. Roedd Gwydion Roberts yn boen cyson i amddiffyn Llanfair lawr yr asgell dde, gyda Tom Evans a Meilir Willaims yn cymryd safleoedd bygythiol ym mlwch cosbi Llanfair, ond roedd y bêl olaf dyngedfenol yn wallus.
Mantais frau oedd gan yr hogiau, ac roedd yn hanfodol eu bod yn cael yr ail gôl.
Dyblwyd mantais Llanuwchllyn wedi 74 munud, diolch eto i waith da gan Wil Owen a Gwydion Roberts lawr yr asgelli. Croesodd y bêl o’r dde i lwybr Cynan Roberts ym mlwch cosbi Llanfair. Ergydiodd am gôl, ond fe’i harbedwyd gan y golwr. Ond o’r ail groesiad disgynodd y bêl i lwybr Dale Davies unwaith eto i gladdu’r bêl i gefn y rhwyd. Ail gol i Dale ac ail i’r Llan.
Weddill y gêm fe atalwyd holl ymdrechion Llanfair am gôl. Roedd John Evans, Nathan Davies a Kyle Jones yn cael gemau cadarn yn yr amddiffyn, gyda’r hogiau yn sicrhau eu lle yn rownd go-gynderfynol y cwpan.

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH EAST

Radnor Valley 3 Llandrindod Wells 3
Report and pictures: Stuart Townsend

These teams shared the spoils on Valentine’s Day after their Radnorshire derby finished in a 3-3 draw at The Bypass following a stoppage-time penalty for the visitors.
Llandrindod broke the deadlock after 24 minutes when Ruben Edwards ran on to a well-timed through ball from Jack Evans before rounding Goats custodian Adam Jones and tucking the ball into an unguarded net.
The Spa Men doubled their advantage within two minutes of the restart after breaking down the left flank and Stuart Williams subsequent cross into the goal mouth was slotted home by Will Cleaton.
The hosts were back in the match when Joey Price halved the deficit with a 29th minute penalty before the Radnor talisman levelled the scores nine minutes after the break after being in the right place to convert Jack Clarke’s pull-back from the byline.
The Goats went ahead for the first time after 66 minutes when Matt Croose broke down the left and his cross into the penalty area was converted by captain Lewis Morris. Just when it appeared that the hosts had done enough to claim all three points, Evans converted a penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage-time to complete his brace and earn the Spa men a point, after Morris had be shown a second yellow card by referee Aled Jones.

Dolgellau Athletic 0 Builth Wells 0

No goals but plenty of chances for both sides at Cae Marian.
Dolgellau’s closest call saw Daniel Jones’ header well saved by Kham Steventon.
Builth were very defiant and had many opportunities themselves to take the lead. Their speed on the break had to bring out the best out of the back four and Darren Andrews was on hand to thwart the Bulls’ best efforts.

Kerry 2 Penycae 2

Penycae fought back from two-down to earn a draw but the Wrexham-area side have now gone eight league games without a win.
Jamie Huxley gave Kerry a 28th minute lead before Ben Hendleman added a second on 62.
Zac Davies hit back for Penycae after 69 and Harry Killick delivered an 87th minute equaliser.
