Llandudno return to winning ways


Leaders Llandudno recovered from their humiliating defeat last weekend to dish out a nine wicket hiding to North Wales Premier whipping boys Llay Welfare.
Llay won the toss and elected to bat but they were only at the creases for a mere 24 overs as they were dismissed for a measly 37. Gordon Kerr hit the visitors for six capturing 6-11, while captain Jack Rimmington took 4-17.
After they were skittled for just 18 the previous week, Llandudno looked determined not to fall victim the second week running as they chased down the total in the 12th over, 40-1. Duncan Midgley was the top scorer on 14, while Aled Williams finished unbeaten on 12.
This modest total, however, means Mochdre now sit just two points behind the leaders, after they thumped Mold by 91 runs.
Will Evans smashed an inspired 88 to set Mochdre on their way to a total of 208-9, while Adam Campion produced a resolute display in finishing unbeaten on 43.
Although Russell Wiseman knocked a determined 42, Mold never looked like troubling Mochdre and were dismissed for 117, Russell Boswell picking up 3-42 to help seal the one sided win.
In the battle to avoid the drop, Bangor bagged a much needed win defeating relegation rivals Northop by five wickets.
Northop batted first but were only able to set a target of 106, with Simon Murley capturing 5-5 and Chris Jones taking 3-28, halting any progress the hosts had.
Bangor in reply reached their goal on the 33rd over with David Winter top scoring with an unbeaten 33, while Gwilym Lloyd Jones chipped in with 22.
Menai Bridge squeaked home to a nail-biting victory at Connah’s Quay running out winners by one wicket
Connah’s Quay’s last wicket pair added 34 before they were all out for 135, Robbie Jones taking 4-33 and Ashley Wood 3-9.
In reply, Menai Bridge looked to be in real trouble at 86-7, but tail-ender Tom Hull steered his side to victory with an unbeaten on 34, while Gethin Roberts had earlier scored 29.
Elsewhere, there were draws in the games between Pontblyddyn and St Asaph and Denbigh and  Brymbo.
