RHYL’S promotion ambitions took a blow with an unexpected 5-1 defeat at Knutsford.
Looking to move into the top two Rhyl’s hopes of a double over Knutsford were dashed in a game that greatly flattered their avenging hosts.
Former captain Adam Judge said: “They had five chances and scored five goals while we had countless chances and managed only one.”
“Overall we were much more threatening but on the day we lacked a clinical finish up front and paid the price.”
Rhyl drop to third place and have a home game against Liverpool University on Saturday.
