LLANRWST United put up a spirited fight before eventually falling to a 1-0 loss to in-form Llangefni Town.

The Rwsters exited the Lock Stock Cookson Cup at the first-round stage despite a much-improved display against Chris Roberts’ side, who have enjoyed a phenomenal start to the campaign as they go in search of multiple honours this term.

Prolific striker Alan Mark Owen settled matters with a fine finish on 52 minutes, and although United saw a lot of the ball in the closing stages they were unable to find a crucial leveller.

Llandudno Junction progressed to the next round without kicking a ball after Barmouth and Dyffryn United withdrew from the competition.

Penmaenmawr Phoenix picked up a valuable point on their travels with a 2-2 draw at Lock Stock Welsh Alliance Division Two rivals Gaerwen.

The visitors made a good start and went ahead thanks to a fine effort from Tom Prince after 15 minutes, but they were pegged back midway through the half when Andrew Wannup hit the target following a consistent spell of possession.

After the break saw teenage sensation Ben Lundstram further enhance his growing reputation with a neat strike on 68 minutes, but the away side were denied victory at the death when Paul Bryant popped up with a leveller with five remaining.

There was no such luck for Mochdre Sports, who were given an 8-0 home hammering by newly promoted Holyhead Town.

A treble from Asa Thomas did the majority of the damage, with Gary Jo Owen also hitting a brace during the rout.
