CPD Nefyn United 2 Menai Bridge Tigers 0

Geiriau: Y Bardd Penwaig

In the most pivotal clash of the season so far, CPD Unedig Nefyn proved they possess the strong will of title contenders.
In a pulsating six-pointer at the top of the table, the Penwaig struck twice in the dying moments to dismantle Menai Bridge Tigers and reclaim top spot in the North Wales Coast West Premier.
The opening exchanges belonged to the visitors, as Menai Bridge looked to capitalize on playing with the strong wind. However, the Tigers found no joy against a Nefyn backline that refused to blink.
Well-marshalled by captain Llyr Pennant Williams, the defence turned the first half into a masterclass of containment, ensuring the Tigers’ threat remained theoretical rather than tangible whilst also creating the better clear chances.
Nefyn grew as the first half progressed. The influence of Deio Jones became the game’s defining feature; his ability to dictate play allowed Nefyn to squeeze the visitors deeper into their own half. The breakthrough seemed inevitable, but for the heroics of Bridge keeper Leo Owen, who produced two exceptional saves to momentarily keep the visitors in the game.
With the game balanced on a knife-edge and the clock ticking toward a stalemate, Nefyn’s premier partnership delivered once again. In the 86th minute, Tomi Evans turned provider, finding Steffan Toplis to run in behind, The “January Sensation” made no mistake, racing clear of the defence before clinically dispatching a strike that sent Cae’r Delyn into a frenzy.
Nefyn showed no mercy. In the 92nd minute, Toplis turned provider, unleashing a drive that was too hot for Owen to handle. High-energy substitute Meical Williams was the first to react, smashing home the rebound to seal the points and the top spot.

CPD Llanberis 1 Blaenau Ffestiniog Amateurs 4

Two goals in added time at the end of the 90 clinched the points for Blaenau.
First half strikes from captain Jack Diamond and Iwan Jones handed the Quarrymen a 2-0 half time lead.
Guto Jones pulled one back for the Darans three minutes into the second half and there were no further goals until past the 90, when Ceri Roberts notched the Amateurs’ third.
Cai Price then made it 4-1 in the 95th minute.
Blaenau finished with 10 men after Joe Dukes-Morgan was red-carded in the 67th minute.

CPD Llannerchymedd 1 CPD Mynydd Llandegai 3

Alan Owen marked his debut for Llandegai with a stunning long-range effort into the top corner which put his side on the road to victory.
Recently signed from Gwalchmai, the ball came to ‘Blacks’ more than 20 yards out and he let fly with an amazing volley which arrowed into the net.
Mark Jones levelled five minutes into the second half for Llannerchymedd, but Steven Tindall restored the away lead on 62.
Jones missed a penalty for Medd after 73 and Mynydd sealed the win on 87 when Gethin Davies netted via a Josh Royds assist.

Nantlle Vale 5 Cemaes Bay 2

Five different scorers appeared on the sheet as Nantlle made it seven wins in nine matches.
Iolo Hughes fired Cemaes into a third-minute lead, but Hugh Jones and Llion Griffiths soon replied to give Vale the lead and an Ashley Owen goal made it 3-1 at the break.
Hughes’ brace got Bay back into it early in the second half, but late net-finders from Aaron Griffiths and sub Math Jones made sure of a home win.

Talysarn Celts 6 Bontnewydd 3

This game was well poised at 3-3 come the interval, but Celts pulled away in the second period to complete back-to-back league triumphs.
