LLANYSTUMDWY dealt a blow to Nantlle Vale’s North Wales Coast West Premier title hopes as the sides shared an entertaining 2-2 draw at Maes Dulyn on Saturday.

The hosts dominated the first half and were rewarded with goals from Nathan Palmer and Richard Jones.

However, Llanystumdwy kept their composure and were handed a lifeline just before the half hour mark when Albert Nosakhare pulled a goal back.

Both sides created chances after the break and it appeared Nantlle Vale would hold on for all three points to maintain the pressure on leaders Menai Bridge Tigers. But Meilir Edwards struck an 82nd-minute equaliser to earn the visitors a share of the spoils.

Blaenau Ffestiniog Amateurs produced an impressive display to beat visitors Bontnewydd 5-2.

Mabon Owen and Jack Diamond gave the Cae Clyd outfit an early two-goal advantage before 16-year-old Ioan Morris added a third before half-time after sustained home pressure.

Oliver Dukes-Morgan made it 4-0 in the 67th minute after good work by Cai Price, and Dylan Mikel Evans-Alvarado quickly added a fifth moments later.

To their credit, Bontnewydd continued to battle and were rewarded with two late consolation goals from Adam Jones.

Penrhyndeudraeth slipped to a 3-1 defeat at Gwalchmai, who led at the break thanks to Alex Cunningham’s penalty.

Tomos Smith equalised for the Cocklemen in the 75th minute, but the islanders finished strongly with goals from Gethin Jones and Jac Mlynarczyk to secure the victory.

Menai Bridge Tigers collected another three points, but were made to work hard for them as they edged past Talysarn Celts in a seven-goal thriller.

A pulsating first half saw the Treborth Playing Fields side lead 3-2 at the interval thanks to two goals from Danny Brookwell and one from Callum Graves, while Glyn Hughes-Thomas struck twice for the visitors.

Gethin Jones levelled for Talysarn in the 53rd minute, but Brookwell restored Menai Bridge’s advantage moments later to complete his hat-trick and seal the win.

Elsewhere, Aberffraw drew 3-3 with Cemaes Bay, Llanberis beat Mynydd Llandegai 5-0, and Bodedern Athletic secured a 2-1 away victory over Gaerwen.
