Llanidloes Town suffered a heavy defeat at mid table Ruthin Town, their ninth loss in 12 JD Cymru North outings.

Sam Jones and Luke Molmans gave the hosts a two-goal buffer at the break in tricky conditions at the Memorial Playing Fields.

Ruthin were good value for their lead and, after a pretty even start to the second half, they surged further ahead courtesy of a couple of Gwion Owen strikes.

Tom Dyer converted an 84th minute penalty to underline their dominance and substitute Keyni Milles made it 6-0 moments later.

Rhys Evans netted for Llani on the 90 but it was scant consolation for the Daffs who were second best on the day.
