BOW Street claimed a valuable home win over Corwen in the Lock Stock Ardal North East on Saturday, but the visitors belied their recent form to give the Magpies a stern test.

Corwen arrived at Cae Piod on the back of seven consecutive defeats in all competitions but took a surprise lead through Tom Williams after 36 minutes.

Josh Crowl hauled the hosts level on the stroke of half-time before an injury to Lewis James forced top scorer Steff Williams to take over in goal at the start of the second half.

Bow Street kept Corwen at bay despite the disruption, laying the foundations for victory as Crowl grabbed his second of the afternoon before Jamie Whitney added a late third to seal a 3-1 success.

The Magpies now turn their attention to another home fixture on Saturday when they welcome Radnor Valley.

Leaders Queens Park remained top of the table on goal difference after a 4-1 victory over Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant, with Michael Pritchard, Nicky Williams and Matthew Worrall (2) on target.

Second-placed Penycae secured a 3-0 win at Knighton Town thanks to a Dominic Deacon brace and a goal from Joshua Mazzarella.

Charlie Beaumont, Jack Clarke, Matthew Croose and Jack Price were all on the scoresheet as Radnor Valley cruised to a 4-0 victory at Carno, while Builth Wells defeated Cefn Albion 3-0 through a Lyndon Jones double and a strike from Alexander Hicks.

Elsewhere, Llanfair United beat Kerry 4-1 with Karl Seliaerts scoring twice and Harvey Morris and Owen Bishop also finding the net. Jamie Breese replied for the visitors.

Saturday's fixtures: Bow Street v Radnor Valley; Carno v Builth Wells; Cefn Albion v Llangollen Town; Queens Park v Rhos Aelwyd; Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant v Corwen; Penycae v Llanfair United.
