No double joy to end a great campaign for Brickfield Rangers
Rangers, who lifted the Ardal North East League title a week ago, couldn't add more silverware as Porthmadog, who finished third in the North West League, deservedly took the honours. Dan Brookwell gave Porthmadog the perfect start with a second minute goal and it was 2-0 on 20 minutes as Tom Hilditch scored from the spot. Both players also netted again although Hilditch was shown a red card with 12 minutes to go. Rangers' consolation goal came from top scorer Andy Vale. While Brickfield head into Cymru North, Llay Welfare will take their place in the Ardal North set-up. And it's all change at the club where former first team boss Mike Gadie, who led Llay to Cymru North 12 months before they were relegated after one season, has taken over as chairman. And he has announced the club's new manager as Neill Hughes. 'Following our relegation back to Tier 3, it was crucial to bring in someone with a deep understanding of the league and local football scene - and Neill ticks all the boxes,' said Gadie. 'Having come up against him during our time in the Ardal North West, I was always impressed by the work rate, discipline and attitude of his sides. 'After an initial conversation and a positive meeting with myself and the vice-chairmen, it quickly became clear that Neill shares our vision for the future of the club. We're confident he's the right person to lead us into this exciting new chapter.' Hughes said: 'I am delighted to be taking on the opportunity of managing such a great club. 'Everybody I've met is passionate and proud of the Welly and what is developing. Myself and my coaching team can't wait to get started and help play a part in shaping the club's future'. In the final game of the North East Wales League season, Penyffordd Lions beat FC Queen's Park 4-1 in Group B of the Reserves Division. Matt Holmes blasted in a hat-trick in the victory.

Brickfield Rangers tackle Bow Street in battle of top-two
A 3-1 win at Cefn Albion on Wednesday night sets them up nicely for tomorrow's top-two home showdown against leaders Bow Street. Rangers still have three games to play but Aiden Fox's double and one from Thomas Williams secured the win after James Jones had put Albion in front. Rangers' decision to switch from the North West to the North East League has paid dividends but boss Gareth Wilson deserves credit for staving off the hefty mid-Wales challenge of Dolgellau and tomorrow's visitors. Fourth-placed Llanuwchllyn, who only have two games left, could still catch Brickfield. A win at home to Kerry will keep their hopes alive. Six sides will complete their campaigns in the North West League tomorrow. Llannefydd will exchange places with fourth-placed Trearddur Bay if they beat their Anglesey opponents at home. Runners-up Holyhead Hotspur sign off at third-placed Porthmadog. Llanrwst United go to Nantlle Vale on the back of 3-0 midweek win at home to Llannefydd where Joel Jones, Conor Davies and Chris Nicolson, who was later sent off, got the goals Corwen, who still have two games to play, make the long trek to Pwllheli.

A win at Cefn Albion will see Rangers move level on points with leaders Bow Street, who they host on Saturday.
