In the Premier Division, Chirk have
taken over at the top following their 3-2 victory at Overton who hit
back through Dave Lee and Mark Astbury from the penalty spot.
New manager Steve Roberts has made a quick impression at Borras Park Albion as they held Coedpoeth United to a 2-2 draw with Barry Torrence netting both goals. Hawarden Rangers secured the best result of all though, they beat cup conquering FC Cefn 3-0 with strikes from Nicky Henderson, Steve Owen and Sam Pugh who weighed in with a fine headed goal late on. Llay Welfare were in the doldrums, they were slammed 7-1 by Corwen but only after they had two players dismissed and one carrying a knock. For the record book then, Calvin Davies converted a hat-trick for Corwen and completing the debacle were Iwan Jones, Richie Pierce, Ryan Billington and Elgan Roberts. Hitting back with a lone consolation goal was Nathan Humphreys. The game between Penycae and Brickfield Rangers was iced off. The NEWFA Challenge Cup between Airbus UK and Venture was a feisty affair but Airbus booked an eventual passage with a first half goal from James McIntosh and the winner from Damian Wilkins which was worthy of winning any match. Venture did reduce the deficit through Darren Gallop. In the match of the day at this level, Rhos Aelwyd chalked up a comfortable 3-0 verdict over Castell Alun. Tony Cann broke the deadlock converting at the second attempt after his earlier penalty had been saved. Steve Powell got the final touch to a long throw from Kev Scott and then there was no way back for the visitors after Eryl Roberts scored a fine solo goal near the end. In the Horace Wynne Cup, Corwen beat LEX XI 2-1 and Penycae flopped to a 2-1 reversal at home to Llanuwchllyn whose marksmen were Daniel Pritchard who broke th deadlock in the 20th minute, Neil Edwards equalised prior to half time, but with the score remaining at 1-1 until the end of the 90 minutes. Elfyn Dafydd snatched a dramatic winner. Dave Jones and Tom Parry combined for Garden Village to send hosts Johnstown crashing out 2-0. There was just the one Division One game in the end and Penley clinched a 3-1 success at Holt Nomads courtesy of strikes from Simon Tudor, Ben Wilde and Craig Salisbury. Due to the cup action, there was limited Reserve team football but Bala whitewashed Borras Park Albion 6-0 with strikes from Iwan Roberts, Jack Crompton, Gareth Edwards, Rikki Rowland and a brace from Glyn Evans. Turning to the Reserves and Colts Division, Ruthin Town Colts continue in top spot after they beat Penyffordd 3-0 with efforts from Jack Neale with a superb free kick, Elgan Hughes and Will Brown. Garden Village had no answer to a rampant Brymbo who roared to 3-0 win. |
