UNBEATEN Llanidloes Town maintained a seven-point lead at the top of the MMP Mid Wales League division one table as four first half goals set up a 5-2 win over visitors Kerry in midweek.

Ex-Hay Saint Mary’s striker Jack Biggs broke the deadlock on his home debut 20 minutes in when he rose well at the far post to power home a header, and then on the half-hour George Clarke’s free kick was converted by Daf Carruthers.

A minute later another free kick, this time from Adam Worton, was volleyed home by Niall Coleridge, and before the break Carruthers played in Connor Bird through on goal for a 4-0 interval lead.

Five minutes into the second half, another testing free kick from Worton saw Coleridge head in his second goal, but the Daffs were reduced to 10 men when Drew Reynolds was shown a red card.
