Having recently won the Huws Gray Megan Cup and Betfred Trophy, narrowly missing out on adding the NWCFA Junior Cup and not to mention throwing a massive spanner in the Pentraeth/Morawelon battle for the league title, tonight’s game was never going to be easy and true to form the Tigers were ahead after only six minutes thanks to a Gareth Barker strike.

A Dave Baston brace (30 & 41) gave the hosts a 3-0 lead at the break before Tommy Lewis made it 4-0 on seventy minutes before Martin Byast pulled one back near the end for a 4-1 scoreline.

On Sunday 2^nd June anybody that is feeling brave enough to tackle the Northern Hemisphere’s longest Zip Wire event are invited to come along.

The Zip Wire is one mile in length with a height of 700 feet with speeds of up to 80mph flying over the Penrhyn Quarry near Bethesda.

Sponsor forms are available at The Adelphi with the first £50 collected paying for the ride with all other monies split equally between the two groups.

The event is booked for 4pm and there is a bus available from Amlwch leaving at 2:30pm and returning at 9pm, at a cost of £15. Anybody interested can contact Meirion on 07932449966 or 01407831754.

Unfortunately it wasn’t to be as a single strike by Cefni’s Aaron Rickards ten minutes into the second half proved to be the only goal of the game clinching a home victory and revenge for the defeat at Lon Bach.

The event will start at 10:30am which will feature games between the Lions, Amlwch Town Ladies and the Grumpy Old Gits, a representative side from our main sponsors The Adelphi Vaults.

Top scorer Sion Wyn Griffiths opened the scoring in the fourth minute heading home a cross with Andrew Powell also using his head to double the lead after thirteen minutes.

Griffiths got his second after thirty four minutes when he reacted quickest to a save from visiting keeper Chris Evans  to prod home.

Bodorgan pulled one back after fifty five when Ryan Hughes was allowed to fire into an empty goal but Dan Jones restored the three goal advantage on sixty six minutes with a half-volley out of the reach of Hughes.

Amlwch’s Sion Wyn Griffiths opened the scoring in the twelfth minute only for Llanfair’s Carwyn Hughes to equalise on the half hour.

The game looked destined for a draw until a dramatic last few minutes of the game when Dan Jones restored Amlwch’s lead with five minutes remaining, only for Llanfair to level once again two minutes later through Darren Edmunds.

With the game now into injury time, there was still time for a dramatic winner when Dan Jones fired home a free kick to make it a third successive win for the Reserves.

Ian Wynn further extended the hosts’ lead shortly after the half hour mark before Amlwch’s Ricky Jones reduced the arrears with five minutes of the half remaining.

Despite Amlwch pressing for another goal it wasn’t to be and it was Halkyn’s Jason Bowden who scored the last goal of the game with ten minutes remaining to wrap up a 4-1 victory for the home side.

Chris Byast managed to pull one back just before the break before heading home an equaliser in the fifty fourth minute. A minute later the comeback was complete when Gethin Rowlands scored what was to be the winning goal to clinch a 3-2 victory.

With an early goal behind them, Meliden looked to emulate the previous scoreline and despite dominating possession with their free flowing football, the Amlwch rearguard defended well, especially in dealing with a succession of corners.

Ricky Jones had Amlwch’s best opportunity of the first half but was denied by a excellent save from home keeper Dan Mills.

Meliden almost got a second when Ryan McKean was drawn out of his area to tackle a striker but when the ball fell to another attacker, Shane Pell was on hand to clear the ball off the line. McKean came to the rescue again as the first half was drawing to an end when he dived to keep out James Harper’s long range effort.

Amlwch came out on the attack after the interval with Kieran Thomas firing just over and then Chris Byast seeing an effort go marginally wide. Byast came close again when he connected to a ball over the top from John Jones, forcing Mills into another save.

After surviving the early onslaught, a piece of magic from Meliden’s Darren Cassidy after fifty two minutes, saw him flick the ball over Pell before firing home into the bottom corner and make it 2-0.

Five Minutes later Gaz Walsh added his second when the ball fell to him in the area but whereas Amlwch had folded in recent weeks the determination and teamwork on show today was a vast improvement and after seventy five minutes the Blues got the goal they deserved when Chris Byast headed home to complete the day’s scoring.

Penrhyn’s Richard Jones opened the scoring after thirty seven minutes when his header looped over home keeper McKean following a free kick from out wide.

Amlwch’s Jason Williams came closest to levelling the scores but keeper Robert Watson did well to save with his feet.

The visitor’s doubled their lead after sixty eight minutes when Carwyn Price reacted quickest to a save from McKean following another set piece to tap in and substitute Tom Owen completed the scoring to make it 3-0 with minutes remaining when a ball across the area found him in space to fire the ball into the roof of the net.
