LLANFAIRFECHAN Town improved their chances of a Vale of Clwyd and Conwy League Premier Division top-two finish with a 6-0 win at Machno United.

The one-time title hopefuls pulled six points clear of Llansannan with three games to play, and one more victory would see them clinch the runners-up spot after another fine season.

A brace from Ryan Dodd did the majority of the damage, with James Corey, Iwan Jones and Ellis Jones also finding the net for the visitors.

Two goals from Andy Hession was the highlight of Cerrigydrudion’s dramatic 4-3 success at Y Glannau, with the forward’s effort on 88 minutes deciding matters.

The prolific Jake Parkes was in ruthless form for Old Colwyn, hitting a hat-trick in their 4-1 home triumph over Rhyl Youth.

Llandudno Athletic secured second spot in Division One with a 3-1 win at Llandyrnog United Reserves thanks to goals from Andy Campbell, Jack Williams and Danny Talbot, while St Asaph City Youth came away from their trip to Llanfairfechn Town Reserves with a thumping 10-1 rout.

REM Jones Cup heroes Rhuddlan Town were undone by three efforts in the final ten minutes from Stephen Parry, Jordan Thomas-Jervis and Callum Parry as Llanrwst United Reserves sealed a 3-2 home victory, with Henllan duo Fran Roberts and Kieran Kendricks both scored twice in their 4-2 win at Betws-y-Coed, who saw Tom Carey hit a brace to no avail.
