In the Premier Division there was little action but Chirk AAA’s lost ground at the top, they flopped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brymbo. Grabbing their single goal response was Ashley Jones who had cancelled out a headed Paul Harris opener but it was a classic own goal that decided this encounter.

There was a hum-dinger of a game at Hope Sports Centre where Castell Alun raced into a 2-0 lead against Coedpoeth with a brace of goals from Liam Bowen. Nicky McCormack led the revival with a double salvo and much pressure at the end brought the winner for Coedpoeth's Dave Griffiths.

In the league cup, Hawarden Rangers had their dreams shattered when they were beaten 1-0 by Llay Welfare.

Also through to the next round are Venture, a solitary strike from Neil Evans saw them clinch a 1-0 verdict at Corwen.

In the Horace Wynne Cup, a snow bound pitch prevented the Gresford Athletic game from going ahead with Castell Alun Colts but Buckley ended Brymbo’s contribution in the competition with an emphatic 3-0 victory. On target were Craig Worthington(2) and Mark Thomas.

Only the one game survived in Division One and Llanuwchllyn look on the up and they demolished Communities First 3-0 with strikes from Gwion Jones and Elfyn Dafydd.

In the RESERVES LEAGUE, LEX XI came down to earth with a bump and they were scuttled 3-0 at Ruthin Town whose marksmen were Dafydd Jones, Mike Garner and Alan Davies.

At The Airfields, a 4-0 victory for Airbus UK over Chirk AAA’s has allowed them to consolidate pole position, on target were Dave Williams, James McIntosh and a double salvo for Gary McConnell and making an immense contribution was George Cowell.

The only other game to survive was a league cup epic between New Brighton and Llangollen. It was a real close encounter which required extra time to split the sides. In the end it was the hosts New Brighton who just shaded the tie by the odd goal in eleven. Making up the New Brighton winning margin were Dave Jones(2), Andy Morris(2), Rob Jones and Gareth Pearson. Keeping Llangollen in with a shout were Kristian Jones, James Claybrook, Mike Morris(2) and Ross Patrick from the penalty spot.
