Brilliant Brickfield beat Buckley for first win of season
Gareth Wilson's charges made the step-up from the Ardal Leagues last season and they comfortably got the better of Buckley Town 4-0 to secure a first league success at the third time of asking. After drawing a blank in the draw with Rhyl 1879 and defeat versus Caersws, it all clicked at last for Brickfield, with Danny Jones finding the back of the net twice. Alex Darlington and Jay Richardson also struck for Gareth Wilson's charges, who moved themselves into fifth spot in the rankings. It was a game to forget for Buckley boss Asa Hamilton, who told the club's Facebook page: 'No positives to take. If we don't pull our act together, we're going to be fighting relegation.' Gresford Athletic opened their account with a crucial 2-1 triumph at home to Ruthin Town. Athletic broke the deadlock two minutes shy of half-time. Dan Collins crossed into the box and Jake Roberts netted with a diving header. Collins was the creator once more when Eddie Maurice-Jones' side doubled their advantage close to the hour mark. He supplied a second assist of the encounter for Iwan Roberts to make it 2-0. Ruthin pulled one back late on through Alex Smith's own goal. Mold Alex maintained their unbeaten league start with a 2-0 triumph away to Caersws. Tyler Berry netted both of the goals in the first half to seal the deal, assisted by Cynan Edwards and Craig Rogers in the seventh and 17th minutes respectively. Mold boss Barry Owen was understandably pleased after the match-up and he told the club's X site: 'Really happy... we came here and won last year. 'So, we wanted to repeat that. We know that they've started the season really well. 'We've got a lot of feedback on how they've been playing and I've got big respect for (Caersws manager) Craig (Williams) from when he was a player and, obviously, now as a manager, and I hope he does well - bar when he plays us, obviously! 'First half, I thought we were excellent. Really, one of the best performances that we've had since we've been at the club. 'We could have been four, five-nil up at half-time and I don't think anybody here could have argued, really. I thought we were really, really good.' A tough trip to Llandudno saw Flint Mountain lose out 4-0. Harvey Bennett's strike after a quarter-of-an-hour separated the teams at the interval, while Mark Cadwallader hit a quickfire double in the second half. Callum Stephens added the fourth. Rhyl 1879 returned from Guilsfield having gathered a 3-2 triumph. Morgan Murray, Ben Lawrence and Archie Jones sealed things for the Lilywhites.

Kilmarnock hit back from two goals down to draw with Hibernian
The Hibees looked to be easing towards victory after goals from Rocky Bushiri and Elie Youan in the opening half-hour, but they were brought back down to earth following their memorable Conference League exploits in Serbia on Thursday. Killie, who squandered a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 with Livingston in their league opener, hit back late in the first half through Liam Polworth before 18-year-old Brannan volleyed home early in the second period to secure a point. Hibs boss David Gray made three changes to the side that started Thursday's 2-0 away win over Partizan Belgrade as Jack Iredale, Chris Cadden and Martin Boyle dropped to the bench. Scotland defender Grant Hanley was given his debut and Youan, having recovered from long-term injury, made his first start since the Boxing Day win at Hearts, while Junior Hoilett was restored. There were also three changes to the Killie team that kicked off the campaign with a 2-2 draw against Livingston as Robbie Deas, Rory McKenzie and debutant defender Ethan Brown replaced Brad Lyons, George Stanger and Tom Lowery. Hibs started strongly, with Hoilett shooting just wide after a brilliant piece of skill on the edge of box. At the other end, Marcus Dackers glanced a header wide from Brannan's cross. The hosts made the breakthrough in the 20th minute when Jamie McGrath's fizzed a powerful free-kick from the left towards Bushiri at the back post and the defender powered home his header from close range. The Hibees doubled their lead seven minutes later when Hoilett sent Youan clean through and the forward fired past Max Stryjek from 10 yards for his first goal since netting away to Aberdeen the weekend before Christmas. The Edinburgh side looked to be coasting and Josh Mulligan almost added a third when he drove into box and sent an angled shot just beyond the far post. But Killie, having been on the back foot for most of the first half, got themselves back in the game in the 45th minute when Polworth forced home a shot from seven yards after excellent work on the left by Dackers to set him up. The visitors signalled their renewed intent when Dackers went close with a header less than a minute into the second period. And they drew level in the 48th minute when Brannan unleashed a sensational dipping volley from 25 yards that looped over Jordan Smith after Polworth's corner from the right had been headed out by Hoilett.

Kilmarnock hit back from two goals down to draw with Hibernian
Teenager Ben Brannan scored an audacious equaliser as Kilmarnock fought back from two down to draw 2-2 away to Hibernian in the William Hill Premiership.
