Marchwiel and Wrexham pipped by one run away at Pwllheli
Just ask Marchwiel and Wrexham, whose long Division Two trek to Pwllheli concluded in an agonising one-run loss. Craig Edwards (49) and Ioan Jones (48) were the chief scorers in Pwllheli's 183. Scott Lawrenson and Phil Oddie took three wickets apiece for Marchwiel and Wrexham, who responded with 182 for six (Chris Woodcock 76 not out, Gareth Evans 40). There were no such concerns for leaders Buckley, who swept aside Ruthin by 10 wickets. Two victims each went the way of Matthew Blunden, Abbey Mayers and Adam Shaw when Ruthin were bundled out for just 67. Buckley didn't hang around in their 69 without loss (Rocco Franco 36 not out) reply, which was achieved in 8.1 overs. Pontblyddyn were on the wrong end of a hefty 157-run loss at St Asaph Seconds, who cracked 287 for four (Ankush Upadhyaya 121, Elliot Goddard 61). Nick Thomas top scored with 38 in Pontblyddyn's 130. Corwen remained in the promotion spots courtesy of a 51-run success at Menai Bridge Seconds, who were all out for 182 (Matt Bixby 54, William Pooler 4-27). Earlier in the day, Harry Pooler (50) and Jordan Williams (40) led Corwen to 233 (Sean Morris 4-28). A Sunday showdown saw Carmel & District triumph by 12 runs at Llay. Elsewhere, Abergele defeated Llanrwst by eight wickets. Bersham caused a major stir in Division Three with their 44-run triumph at home to leaders Denbigh Seconds, who lost for just the third time this summer. Vipin Shylajan, Aneesh Pattali and Jojo Thomas all got into the 30s as Bersham made 179 for nine. It proved enough in the end, with Denbigh's effort halted on 135 (Pattali 4-11). Second-placed Mold Seconds made sure of a 20-run success in a high-scoring clash with Llandudno Seconds. Over 500 runs were witnessed, with Mold romping to 266 for five (George Jones 88, Craig Roberts 38, David Graham 38). Far from being overawed, David Barlow (99 not out) and Ajay Dhawan (91) helped Llandudno to 246 for four. Gwersyllt Park Seconds' promotion quest was dealt a blow in a five-wicket loss at Hawarden Park Seconds, who got to 128 for five (Owen Williams 50 not out, Chris Books 42). Park were restricted to 125 for nine. Buckley Seconds got the better of Gresford Seconds by 45 runs. Conwy Seconds gathered a six-wicket triumph at Abergele Seconds and Bethesda Seconds pipped Gwynedd rivals Caernarfon by eight runs. In their Division Four top of the table showdown, Bersham Seconds defeated leaders Mynydd Isa & Maeshafn by seven wickets. Deepak Loguchetty Deenadayalu (35) top scored in the hosts' 149 (Kiran Viswambharan 4-32). Bersham replied with 150 for three. New leaders are Brymbo Thirds on the back of their 165-run win over Bala. Captain Charlie Croasdale struck 118 not out in Brymbo's 257 for three, while Aled Edwards picked up three for 10 in Bala's 92 for eight. Marchwiel and Wrexham Seconds eased to a 162-run success at home to Dolgellau Seconds, who were all out for 93 (Paul Baines 3-25). Earlier, Zahid Sharif's 130 was the highlight in the home side's 255 for six. Callum Ferguson (3-15) and Ryan Ferguson (3-23) impressed as Halkyn Seconds defeated Hawarden Park Thirds by five wickets. Sunday East League leaders Gwersyllt Park Thirds (Rhys Griffiths 56 and 4-19) bagged a 90-run success at Hawarden Park Fourths. Despite 101 retired not out from Steff Lloyd, Corwen Seconds lost by eight wickets to Northop Thirds (Elgan Skillander 56no, Tomas Bevan 52). Buckley Thirds (Alfie McManus 42 and 4-12, Harry Sprowell 3-23) edged out Mold Thirds (Daryl Caswell 4-20) by 27 runs and a five-wicket outcome went to Halkyn Thirds (Ryan Ferguson 3-17, Sam Hamilton 53no) versus Northop Hall Fourths.

Chirk clash with Queen's Park is a tasty league match-up
The Premier Division is no more with the league split into three divisions. And two of the Division One title contenders clash at Chirk AAA where FC Queen's Park are the visitors tonight. Brad Pearce remains suspended for the hosts and Nathan Tombs is also banned after Tuesday's red card in the 2-0 defeat to Coedpoeth United. Matthew Tombs, Dylan Northall and Jack Jones also miss out but Brandon Edwards and Josh Williams will return and Keegan Jakovlevs faces a late fitness test. Park are also looking to bounce back after a shock Welsh Trophy exit at home to Penrhyndeudraeth. 'After last week's loss we are ready to go again,' said a Park spokesman. ' We look to right the wrongs in our first league game of the season against a strong Chirk side.' Coedpoeth's confidence will be sky high after their North East Wales FA Cup win at Chirk. 'It was a great for us,' said United boss Jack Pawley ahead of their home opener against Hawarden Rangers. 'It was a big statement victory in what was a very controlled performance.' Broughton United romped to the old Division One title last season and have momentum behind them to challenge for honours again this time around. They begin at home to Greenfield, who have enjoyed a decent start to the season. Penyffordd Lions host Rhydymwyn and Castell Alun, who knocked Llay Welfare out of the Welsh Trophy last weekend, go to Rhostyllen Ruabon Rovers have home advantage over Saltney Town while Overton Recreational could be surprise packages in Division Two especially after re-signing Harry Massey and Tom Huxley from Lex XI. Massey will be a goal machine at this level while Huxley will give Dave Edwards' side an edge. Overton head to Holywell United tomorrow while Acton kick off at home to Brymbo. The other game is at Aston Park Rangers where Cefn Druids are the visitors. The new-look Division Three sees Caerwys return to the fold after taking a break from the action. They and Johnstown could be favourites for the title and clash head-on tomorrow. League stalwarts Bellevue host Skippy and AFC Deeside have a derby date at Deeside Dragons. Tomorrow's Reserves Division One fixtures: Lex v Llay; Mold Alex v Brickfield; Penycae v Llangollen; Saltney v Rhos. Tonight: Mynydd Isa v CQ Town.
