Champions elect Prestatyn thunder on

Mar 9 2008 by Our Correspondent, Wales On Sunday

SIX hot-shots joined in as champions-elect Prestatyn Town – now 13 points clear – thrashed third-from-bottom Buckley Town 7-1 at the Bastion Gardens.

Buckley’s dream of causing an upset came when Robbie Williams fired them in front on 25 minutes but Prestatyn’s Jack Lewis equalised close to half time.

As the second half developed into a rout, Lewis again, Jon Fisher-Cook, Steve Bowes, Jamie Duffy, Ian Griffiths and Gareth Davies all punished the visitors.

Second-placed Llandudno Town and their opponents Flint Town were rained off as was the Llanfairpwll fixture against Mynydd Isa when official John Roberts ruled the pitch unfit.

Third from top Bala Town pulled off a 3-2 snatch at Ruthin Town, by means of two late goals by Warren Duckett on 47 minutes and Huw Price on 80 (penalty) and Neil Fisher on 85.

Following a goal-less first half, Warren Duckett gave Bala a 47th minute lead from a Neil Fisher cross, Mike Robinson levelled and Mike Garrod edged the hosts in front but in a late rally, Huw Price squared matters from the penalty spot and Fisher bagged a last gasp winner.

Holyhead Hotspur triumphed 4-0 over Llandyrnog United with Curt Williams getting a hat-trick with Marc Evans also on the score sheet.

At Clappers Lane, GAP Queens Park increased their run of unbeaten games by defeating Gresford Athletic 1-0.

Gresford should have put GAP out of reach by the break but paid for missed chances and Kevin Leach decided the matter scoring from close range with just a minute remaining.
