Brilliant bowlers help Brymbo go to top of the table
The trip to front-runners Bangor was the match of the day in the top flight and second-placed Brymbo had the bit between their teeth to dismiss their hosts for just 102. Skipper Dan Parry secured three wickets and there were two victims apiece for Joe Norman, Jack Williams and Richard Deniz. Chris Taylor top scored with 35 in Brymbo's 106 for four. Northop are still well in the mix for the top honour on the back of a thumping 114-run success at Menai Bridge, who were all out for 167 (Ayush Verma 44, Venumadhav Peram 2-13, Bart Ryan-Beswick 2-19).

Adam Campion (4-39) and Will Evans (57 not out) impressed in Mochdre's six-wicket win over Denbigh (Harrison Jones 66) and Conwy (Daniel Davies 93) defeated Bethesda (Nicholas Parry 66) by two wickets. Halkyn were edged out by eight runs in their Division One promotion showdown at home to Llandudno. Kevin James' knock of 76 was crucial in Llandudno's 164. Nathan Roett led the way with 56 in Halkyn's 156. Leaders Mold eased to a seven-wicket success in their home clash with Bangor Seconds, who were restricted to 179 for nine (Sion Llwyd 41, Munowar Samsodien 4-22, Isaac Allen 3-21). Ewan Hill (78) and Louis Boulton (61) made sure Mold eased to 180 for three. Hawarden Park climbed into the promotion spots courtesy of their 62-run victory at Connah's Quay. Evan Shaw's brilliant 124 and James Taylor's 50 not out boosted Park's tally to 209 for six (Lee Davies 3-29), before Quay responded with 147 (Joshua Clarke 40, Ian Martin 5-20). Pontblyddyn prevailed by 48 runs during their visit to Brymbo Seconds, who were all out for 177 (Jason Taylor 58, Osian Jones 4-30).

Plenty of big encounters in the North Wales Cricket League
Gresford, who lost their unbeaten record with a defeat at the hands of defending Division One champions Northop Seconds last time out, will head to unbeaten Halkyn for their next match-up. For Gresford skipper Josh Knowles, it's all about batsmen profiting when they are out in the middle. He said: 'We need to bat the situations better. Unfortunately, we lost wickets at regular intervals (against Northop) and couldn't build positive partnerships to get to a score that could be defendable.' While that loss sees Gresford in fourth place in the standings, Halkyn are third after winning all three of their opening encounters this season. Knowles, who will welcome Cam Evans and Toby Bellis back into the line-up, added: 'Halkyn are a good side and that showed with their win over Llandudno last weekend. We will be tested.' Leading the way at this early stage of the campaign are Hawarden Park and they play host to Northop Seconds looking to make it four wins out of four. Victories should push Mold and Connah's Quay into the top half of the table, but both sides have tough match-ups. Mold are at home to second-placed Dolgellau, while Quay welcome Llandudno, who were relegated from the top flight last summer. Brymbo Seconds will look to make home comforts count versus Bangor Seconds and Pontblyddyn are away to Mochdre Seconds.

Gresford look to make it three out of three in big clash
Relegated from the Premier Division last summer, Gresford have opened their Division One tilt with back-to-back triumphs. Next up is tomorrow's home clash with last season's champions Northop Seconds. Skipper Josh Knowles said: 'It's been a good start to the season, getting two wins from two. We have managed to get a consistent squad out, which is always a positive.' While promotion would be the main aim, Knowles is quick to stress that it's not the be all and end all this summer. 'Promotion would be great, but we want to help new players come through and get experience,' he added. 'We feel that we have a very good bowling attack that is a balance with both pace and spin.' Looking ahead to tomorrow, Knowles, who welcomes Danny Williams and Tom Crewe back into the line-up, said: 'Northop are the reigning champions, so we are always going to be cautious. We are just looking forward to having a good game!' Hawarden Park and Halkyn have also won both of their matches. Park host Connah's Quay, while Halkyn go to leaders Llandudno. Mold face a long trek to Bangor Seconds and Pontblyddyn welcome Brymbo Seconds. Other fixture: Dolgellau v Mochdre 2nds. Division Two: Abergele v Corwen; Llanrwst v Marchwiel and Wrexham; Menai Bridge 2nds v Buckley; Pwllheli v Pontblyddyn 2nds; Ruthin v Carmel & District; St Asaph 2nds v Llay.

Northop Hall are looking to get their Liverpool Competition season up and running away to Norley Hall tomorrow. Ben Slater's side opened their summer with a 24-run loss to Ainsdale and the skipper said: 'I think if we had wickets in hand, we would have gone on to win. But, unfortunately, some relatively poor shot selection let us down.' Paul Jenkins, James Hurlin and Carwyn Johnson impressed with the ball for Hall and looking ahead to tomorrow, Slater added: 'They're a strong team. They are always up and there or thereabouts. They're a team I think will be up there. 'These are the ones that end up being double-pointers come the end of the season. I think it's key for us. Once we get that first win, I feel we will be okay.' Matty Jones is back in the Northop Hall ranks. Hall Seconds host Bootle Seconds. In the Shropshire League, a first triumph is also the target for Chirk. After a five-wicket loss to Wellington Seconds, Chirk are looking forward to tomorrow's trip to Broseley. Chirk Seconds are at home to Whittington in Division Seven.
