CRYMYCH moved to the top of the Costcutter Ceredigion League Premier Division with an emphatic 6-2 victory over Llandysul on Saturday.

The visitors took an early lead through Osian Mason-Evans, but Crymych responded impressively. Sion Vaughan levelled before Gavin Thomas put the hosts ahead, giving them a 2-1 advantage at the interval.

Crymych maintained their momentum after the break and tightened their grip on the contest. Vaughan grabbed his second goal of the afternoon before strikes from Elis Gill and Daniel Williams put the result beyond doubt.

Substitute Steffan Morris pulled one back for Llandysul, but 16-year-old Finley Williams-Jones had the final say, scoring late on to complete an impressive afternoon for the league leaders.

St Dogmaels kept pace at the top with an identical 6-2 victory away to Lampeter Town Reserves, extending their unbeaten run to 11 consecutive victories in all competitions.

The Saints were ahead after just six minutes. Jack Skeels delivered a dangerous ball into the area and, after Rhys Jones' effort was blocked, Dave Reynolds reacted quickest to volley home from close range.

Lampeter responded eight minutes later, equalising with a headed finish from a corner, but St Dogmaels restored their lead almost immediately. Adam Williams floated a superb free-kick into the box and Jones rose highest to head home.

The visitors then took firm control before half-time. Reynolds struck again on 35 minutes, pouncing on a rebound after Jones' free-kick had been parried, before Chris Morgan's deflected effort three minutes later wrong-footed the goalkeeper and made it 4-1.

St Dogmaels continued where they left off after the break. Jones grabbed his second goal of the afternoon with a well-taken volley after Lampeter failed to clear a Morgan cross, and Louis Haring added a sixth on 69 minutes, turning home Eddie Wigley's dangerous delivery from close range.

Lampeter enjoyed a late consolation when youngsters Alfie Davies and Caio Bension combined neatly before the latter fired home in stoppage time, but it did little to dent another dominant Saints display.

Elsewhere, Llechryd recorded a comfortable 5-1 win at Maesglas, with Liam Doherty, George Lowry, Llion Williams, Owen Wilton and Rhydian Davies all getting on the scoresheet.
