NORTH WALES FOOTBALL REPORTS – FRIDAY, MARCH 6

JD CYMRU NORTH

Newtown 0 Gresford Athletic 5

Gresford produced the performance of the night as they sent Newtown crashing to their heaviest home defeat since a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of The New Saints in September 2024.
Dave Evans’ side made it four wins in five league matches to edge up to ninth in the JD Cymru North.
The Colliers struck twice in the first half, Toby Gallagher-Keenan finding the net on 20 minutes before the in-form Haci Ozlu made it two after 43 with his 12th goal of the campaign.
Ozlu turned provider six minutes into the second half when he set up Tom Smith for number three.
Recent signing Sam Baker added to Athletic’s total on the hour, Gallagher-Keenan the assistant, and Billy Nicholas completed the rout after 82.

Denbigh Town 0 Brickfield Rangers 1

Jay Richardson’s 90th minute decider clinched Brickfield a third win in a row, but for Denbigh tonight delivered a fifth defeat in succession.
Town remain seventh in the table, with Rangers now just a place below and two points behind.

Llandudno 2 Holywell Town 1

Mark Cadwallader’s 18th and 19th goals of the season banked three huge points for leaders Llandudno at the Go Goodwins Stadium.
The Seasiders pushed eight points clear at the summit and are now assured of the top three place needed to seal promotion to the Cymru Premier – provided they secure the Tier 1 licence.
Holywell remain third but are still a good bet to finish in the leading trio of clubs.
Cadwallader nudged Tudno in front on 26 minutes and added a second via a Callum Stephens assist on 82.
Jamie Breese replied for the Wellmen after 86, but Llandudno held on to make it 13 games, 13 wins in the league at the Go Goodwins this term.

LOCK STOCK ARDAL NORTH WEST LEAGUE

Llangefni Town 2 Llanrwst United 3

Callum Parry delivered a double to move up to 23 goals for the season as his Llanrwst side claimed maximum points at Cae Bob Parry.
The Rwsters made it back-to-back 3-2 away victories with Parry on target after 35 and 90+2 minutes, while Sam Thomas also netted for the Conwy Valley men with 74 gone, Parry assisting.
Llangefni hit back through an Ashley Ainsworth double on 30 and 83 minutes, which appeared to have earned the hosts a point only for that man parry to strike late.

NORTH EAST WALES LEAGUE TWO COUNTIES CUP SEMI-FINAL

Cefn Druids 1 Acton 1 (Druids won 10-9 on penalties)

Druids advanced to the Two Counties Cup Final where a meeting with Ocerton Recreational or CPD Caerwys awaits.
Cefn took an early lead in Friday’s semi through Keanu Williams after eight minutes, but Sam Giles levelled with 21 on the clock.
And that was the end of the scoring which meant penalties were needed to decide the victor and it was the Ancients who prevailed 10-9.
