For the second week running Chirk gave Rhydymwyn quite a footballing lesson and they sent the leagues pacesetters crashing 5-0 to keep themselves in the title hunt. Former Rhos Aelwyd striker Jamie Rogers was Chirks star man with a double strike and further goals from Lee McBurney, Ant Jones and an own goal secured a convincing win for Chirk who have now scored 15 goals in their last 3 games. Although still in 7th position in the league, Chirk are still on the fringe of the promotion race and with games in hand on the leading sides and in the best form of the season, they will fancy themselves to get back amongst the frontrunners in the weeks to come.
Hawarden Rangers are having an immense impact at the moment and they have climbed into second spot in the league following their convincing 4-0 victory over Brickfield. Tegid Lloyd broke the deadlock and a goal in each half from Danny Sullivan had Brickfield on the ropes with Steven Evans sealing the points.
Mold Alex will be disappointed not to have made in-roads at Corwen and in the end they had to be content with picking up just one point in a goal-less draw in a game where defences were clearly on top.
Gresford Athletic conceded an early goal scored by Rhys Hughes and then an own goal but had enough about them to get back on level terms by the interval through Owen Roberts and a splendid strike from Huw Jones. Sloppy defending saw Hughes net his second goal for the visitors but Roberts fired a 72nd minute equaliser for Gresford to salvage a point.
The Llangollen Town versus Venture game fell victim to the weather.
Llay Welfare won their bottom of the table battle with Johnstown Youth 5-1. Ace predator Danny Hughes bagged himself a brace of goals with Luke Cahill and brothers Eddie and Tom Maurice Jones making up their nap hand.

Penyffordd came unstuck against FC Cefn on a very boggy pitch who came out the traps and went 1-0 up earlier on with a Lee Jones strike, things got worse for the home team when Sam Richardson was dismissed early on for foul and abusive language towards the referee. From this point onwards Cefn upped the tempo and goals from Nicky Williams returning from his brief spell at Cefn Druids and a bullet header from burley defender Sean Jones enabled Cefn to seal a 3-0 success.

Saltney are on fire at the moment and they have taken over the leadership of Division One following their 5-1 win over LEX XI. It was far from Saltney’s best performance of the season, but they were still too hot for the visitors to handle. They made the perfect start when Dane Mason set up Ricky Wright to fire home from 6-yards out. Wright then turned provider when he crossed for Jake Gibbons to double the lead. LEX gave themselves some hope when Mike Santangeli scored with a deflected shot. Chris Woodward was the architect behind Saltney’s third goal when Gibbons netted with ease. In the second half, Gibbons went on to seal his hat-trick and substitute Lee Woodward completed Saltney’s nap hand.

In the long awaited dual in the Reserves Division between Airbus UK and Chirk AAA it was Chirk who stole the honours to comfortably win 5-0.
