CAERNARFON Town became only the third team to defend the Huws Gray Cup as they enjoyed another final victory over Flint Town United at Conwy Borough’s Y Morfa Stadium.
In a repeat of last year’s showpiece, where Danny Brookwell and Nathan Craig helped the Canaries to secure a 2-1 victory, the defending champions produced a more commanding performance to seal a 3-0 success.
Brookwell fired Caernarfon into the lead within the first 15 minutes, just as he did last year, to settle any nerves before Jay Gibbs doubled their advantage two minutes later as the Canaries took full control of the showpiece tie.
Flint Town United tried to fight back but Caernarfon held their two-goal lead until the 75th minute when Kev Lloyd wrapped up the victory and the Canaries’ third cup triumph in four years.
Caernarfon, who finished as runners-up to Prestatyn Town in the Huws Gray Alliance, are now level with Bala Town with four cup successes to their name while Flint Town United are still searching for their first.
