Bont drop to fourth after Town defeat

BONTNEWYDD missed the chance to close the gap on the Gwynedd League leaders on Saturday as they went down to a 4-3 loss at Holyhead Town.

Bont dropped to fourth place, four points adrift of leaders Bro Goronwy after being overhauled in the standings by Town.

Holyhead went ahead through Asa Thomas after two minutes, before Dale Murphy added a second little after the half hour mark.

Aled Steele and Dan Evans brought Bont back on level terms, before Ian Pleming put the visitors in the lead on 72 minutes. However, further goals from Thomas and Ian Willians ensure Holyhead sealed the points.

Llanllyfni went down to a 2-0 loss at Gwalchmai, a brace from Mark Griffith doing the damage for the home side, while Waunfawr crashed to a 3-1 loss at home to leaders Bro Gornowy.

Carwyn Williams put Bro ahead before Ioan Gwynedd replied for the home side on 72 minutes.

But late goals from Andy Williams (88) and Owain Griffiths (91) saw Bro seal the victory.

Llanystumdwy’s clash at Menai Bridge Tigers was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, while Nefyn United’s home clash with Beaumaris and Talysarn Celts home game with Llangoed were also postponed.

FIXTURES, Saturday, October 7 (2.30pm): Beaumaris Town v Talysarn Celts, Bontnewydd v Waunfawr, Gwalchmai v Llanystumdwy, Llanllyfni v Bro Goronwy.
