In the Premier Division, the bubble has eventually burst at FC Cefn as they narrowly went down 2-1 at home to Rhydymwyn. They started well enough with Paul Mazarella providing them with an interval lead bit two second half goals from Rhyd’s Stuart Hayes and Dan Drazdauskas destroyed Cefn’s unbeaten record.
Firing themselves back to the top of the table were Venture, they clinched quite an emphatic 6-1 verdict at Llay Welfare despite having seven first team regulars missing. The recalled Neil Evans bagged a treble and making the points safe were Kevin Andrew Elmes, Nicky Chesters and the reliable Adam Bradshaw. Johnny Taylor grabbed Llay’s consolation goal.
Coedpoeth United flopped to a shock 5-1 reversal against Hawarden Rangers who absolutely destroyed their hosts. Danny Sullivan was in scintillating for and his fine individual performance was rewarded with a hat-trick. Completing their nap hand were the lively Tom Owen and Charlie McDade. Notching a lone consolation goal was John Griffiths.
Corwen proved too hot for visitors Brickfield Rangers to handle and on his home debut Ryan Billington weighed in with a double salvo. James Davies celebrated his birthday in style as he struck twice and cementing the 5-0 whitewash was Sion Hughes.
At Clappers Lane following a goal-less opening half, Steve Allmon provided Gresford Athletic with the lead against Chirk AAA’s following some fine play by Ashley Ryan. Darren Hignett was hero turned villain for the visitors though leveling with a close range header from a set piece but then being dismissed after receiving a second yellow card. Despite lack of player parity, sub Nathan Buckley netted a second for Chirk and with Gresford looking for a late equaliser, Chirk broke free and added a third goal through Naz Farhat.
Llangollen Town ended a real barren spell and showed some true grit to twice come from being behind to pull off a 2-2 draw with Overton. The Llan comeback trail was orchestrated by Ben Reeley and Simon Roberts.
Mold Alex are back up and running again and a very late show produced a narrow 2-1 victory against neighbours Penyffordd in a match the visitors clearly did not deserve to lose, their response came from Nathan Lavender and his 15th minute goal separated the sides until Dean Hughes levelled the match in the 89th minute and Graham Long grabbed the winner in the 3rd minute of stoppage time.
Brymbo were held to a 1-1 draw by plucky Johnstown who were extremely unlucky not to have returned home with all three points. They also had to contend with losing their keeper through injury and outfield player Kevin Valentine took over and acquitted himself well. Netting for the visitors was Chris Baddeley after Steve Jones had broken the deadlock in a first half Brymbo totally dominated.
Turning to Division One and in the long awaited dual between overnight leaders Mold Juniors and Borras Park Albion took place. Mold were turned over in fine style with the visitors cruising to a deserved 4-0 victory. On the score-sheet once more was Nial Chaloner with Stuart Williams and Craig Salisbury adding to their tally and sub Michael Hencher putting the game out of reach from the penalty spot.
Saltney’s title challenge goes from strength to strength thanks to a dominant performance coupled with a fistful of fine finishes from marksman Jake Gibbons as the bordermen cruised to a 7-0 success at Llanuwchllyn. Gibbon’s nap hand commenced with a 7th minute opener and he went on to destroy their Lakeland hosts almost on his own and by half time he had bagged a further four goals. Cementing the win with a goal in each half were Matty Howard and Jason Wright.
