DIVISION ONE
CPD Deiniolen 6 Holyhead Town 1
It was a weekend of disappointments for teams in this league with immaculate records as Division One leaders Holyhead’s perfect slate was shattered at the eighth hurdle.
With seven consecutive victories behind them, Town’s visit to Deiniolen turned into a Halloween horror show.
Liam C Jones, who moved to Cae Bwthyn from Bangor City 1876 in August, was the home term hero with four goals, while Sion Foulkes added a brace, Declan Jones netting the Harbiourmen’s consolation to make it 1-1 in the first half.

Two red cards followed on 80 and 81 – Kyle Daly for Llangoed and captain Dion Owen for Medd.
Parry made it 5-3 to the greens on 83 and while Alan Owen nabbed a fourth for Llangoed after 90+3 it was not enough to save the visitors from a loss.
