Tuesday’s action

Fabrizio Murtas and Oliver Buckley both delivered doubles as Holywell Town progressed comfortably 4-0 against Tier 4 Hawarden Rangers in a tie switched to Bartons North Wales Stadium.

A Ben Guest penalty was all that separated the sides when Buckley Town visited Ardal North West battlers Mynydd Isa.

Cymru North bottom side Ruthin Town were too strong for Ardal North East basement team Lex XI, Dan Cox, Thomas Mann, Daniel Holland and Thomas Dougherty all on target in a 4-0 outcome.

In an all-Cymru North tussle, Jordan Evans’ 76th minute strike saw Airbus UK Broughton through 1-0 at Gresford Athletic.
