NORTH WALES COAST EAST LEAGUE – MARCH 28

COOKSON CUP SEMI-FINAL

Mochdre Sports 3 CPD Cerrigydrudion 2

Despite being pegged back to a single goal ahead after leading 3-0, Mochdre claimed a deserved place in the Cookson Cup final.
The hosts edged in front in the 18th minute through a Nidian Jones own goal, before quickly building momentum with two well-taken finishes from Josh Grimshaw and Kai Davies after 26 and 36 respectively.
Cerrig pulled one back from a set piece just before half-time through Alun Vaughan Evans.
The second half brought plenty of chances, and Mochdre managed the game well to carry their 3-1 lead deep into stoppage time.
Cerrig added a late goal through Vaughan Evans, but it was not enough to mount a successful comeback.
Conwy Borough Swifts or Kinmel Bay await Sports in the final.
