Alfie Caldecott put the hosts ahead in the 12th minute but a double from Nathan Mendoza - his winner coming eight minutes from time - turned the game around. Llay Welfare's mini-revival came to an end at home to leaders Bangor City 1876. Llay had keeper Cameron Dutton sent off four minutes into the second half with two-goal Corrig McGonigle scoring from the resultant spot-kick. And to make matters worse Scott Swords' two yellow cards in the space of two minutes saw him red carded too Liam Morris also scored for Bangor, who are level on points with Llangefni Town, who were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw at struggling St Asaph City. Connah's Quay Town suffered a 2-0 defeat at Llanrwst United, Llannefydd edged out Trearddur Bay 1-0 and Porthmadog won 3-0 at Bethesda Athletic.

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).

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.

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.
