Cymru North: Monday wins for Brickfield, Mold, Rhyl 1879, Llanuwchllyn, Newtown, Caersws and Guilsfield

NOVIRA CYMRU NORTH REPORTS – MONDAY, AUGUST 31

Brickfield Rangers 2 Ruthin Town 0

Two days after losing their 100% record at Bangor, leaders Brickfield responded positively with a two-goal win over Ruthin which keeps Gareth Wilson’s men top of the pile.
Rangers took a 10th minute lead when a Charley Edge cross was flicked on by Sam Flory and Josh Evans fired home.
There was a blow to the hosts on the half-hour when Flory suffered a serious knee injury and had to be replaced by Alex Darlington. Everyone wishes Flory a speedy recovery.
Brickfield went two-up in the 42nd minute through Ryan Williams, Dennis Bates with the assist, and that was the end of the scoring.
While Ruthin’s build up play was promising at times, they failed to work home keeper Carl Jones enough.
Brickie have now won five games out of six and lead the standings by two points from Newtown, who were 1-0 victors at previously undefeated Bala Town today.

Bala Town 0 Newtown 1

Big result for Newtown, with a Jolyon Harries strike on 70 minutes enough to inflict a first loss of the campaign on Bala.

Caersws 2 Buckley Town 0

Second half goals from Ashley Harries and sub Jared Marks sealed three points for the Bluebirds.

Denbigh Town 1 CPD Y Rhyl 1879 3

Rhyl bounced back from Friday’s home loss to Bala by picking up maximum points at Central Park.
Tom Kelly gave Denbigh a 12th minute lead, but the Lilywhites levelled on 16 when Morgan Murray set up Bradley Barnes to net against his former club.
And Murray was the assistant again in first half stoppage time when Daniel Cockerline made it 2-1 to Paul Moore’s side.
The outcome remained in the balance throughout most of the second half until in the 84th minute Murray notched a well-deserved goal for Rhyl, Ben Lightfoot the supplier.

Guilsfield 4 Penrhyncoch 0

Ryan Knott was a hat-trick hero for a dominant Guilsfield, Rhys Tilsley also on the mark.

Holyhead Hotspur 2 Porthmadog 2

All-square at the New Stadium where Porthmadog rallied from 2-0 down to earn a point which could have been more.
Dylan Summers-Jones missed a fourth-minute penalty for Port before Hotspur took command, Nathan Williams netting with nine gone before Jamie Jones doubled the home advantage with 19 on the clock.
Port began their fightback four minutes into the second half when Morgan Owen failed from the spot, but Osian Ellis was on hand to follow up and score from the rebound.
And it was two-apiece on 56 when Summers-Jones made up for his earlier pen miss by finding the net.
Both sides went for the winner but it was not to be.

Llanuwchllyn 2 Gresford Athletic 0

Will Owen and Tomos Evans bagged the all-important goals which secured victory for Llanuwchllyn.

Mold Alexandra 2 Bangor City 1876 1

Mold edged up to third after beating Bangor in front of a large crowd of almost 800 spectators at MKH Stadium, Alyn Park.
After a blank first half, Alex took a 61st minute lead through Morgan Roberts from a Kieran Owens assist.
Barry Owen’s side went two ahead in the 73rd minute, sub Max McGoona the supplier for Dafydd Griffith to score.
Bangor rallied late, Guto Williams nodding in a Jack Burman delivery in the 94th minute, but the home side pocketed the points.
