Llangollen Town 2 Dolgellau Athletic 1

Llangollen overturned a half-time deficit to pick up three vital points in their quest to escape from the lower reaches of Ardal North East.
The next-to-bottom Tower Field side made it back-to-back league wins on Saturday, the previous success being a 2-1 verdict at Llanrhaeadr the last time they played four weeks ago.
With some impressive new signings made in the January window, Luke Maybury’s side are beginning to look like a team on the up.
Dolgellau, who were on a five-game unbeaten run, took the lead on the stroke of half time through Steven Jones.
Second-half substitute Richard Griffiths made a big difference for Town, and it was his assist on the hour that set up the equaliser for Louie Middlehurst.
Ten minutes later, Middlehurst turned provider as Jamie Hands put away what turned out to be the winner.

Up stepped Williams to knock in his 37th goal in all competitions this season.

Bow Street 5 Cefn Albion 3

Two goals in the closing minutes saw third-place Bow seal victory in a real thriller at Cae Piod.

Samuels struck again to extend the Albion lead early in the second half, but a red card for Calum Butler before the hour knocked the away side back.
Two goals in as many minutes from Taylor Watts and Rhys Hughes made it all-square.
Albion were holding strong for what would have been a commendable draw before substitute Nathan Pemberthy scored on 86 and 89 to win the day for the hosts.

However, an 87th minute Oliver Crimp penalty cemented three points for the hosts.

Penycae 3 Lex XI 0

A first win of 2026 for Penycae, who had failed to register in victory in eight previous matches.
Thomas Edwards put the home team ahead on 13 minutes, recent new signing Dominic Deacon with the assist.

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST

NFA 1 Llay Welfare 2

A very rare home league loss for NFA, but the man who scored twice for Llay was a familiar name indeed.
Jonathan Collo found the net on 38 and 55 minutes to reach 18 goals for the campaign.
The skipper has made the scoresheet for eight matches in a row and in nine of his last 10 outings for the Wrexham-area side.
NFA replied through substitute Chris Durkin on 88 minutes, but it was not enough to save them from their first home league defeat of the season after six wins and five draws at Ffordd Derwen. This was the only game played in Ardal North West on Saturday, all other matches being postponed due to waterlogged pitches.
