PWLLHELI were consigned to their fourth straight defeat in frustrating circumstances when Welsh Alliance division one visitors Llanrwst plundered two late goals to register a dramatic 2-1 away win.
Barry Evans’ side had matched their fourth-from-top visitors for more than an hour, and were further encouraged when benefiting by an own-goal lead on 65 minutes, by Llanrwst’s Steffan Whiteley.
Llanrwst, having to cope without the unavailable top scorer Mike Lundstrom, burst into life in the concluding stages.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, after Whiteley was shown a second yellow card, the Roosters equalised through Callum Parry on 75 minutes and proceeded to conjure up a stoppage-time winner.
Long-serving Leighton Griffiths ventured upfield for a corner on 90-plus-one minutes and, when Richard Orme headed goalwards into the penalty box, the alert Griffiths chipped the ball into the home net from 10 yards for a story-book finish.
The match had been billed for Llanrwst’s ground but the Gwydyr Park playing surface was waterlogged and officials switched the venue to Recreation Ground.
Penrhyndeudraeth were a little disappointed at having to share the Welsh Alliance division one points with Llandudno Albion in a 2-2 draw at Maes-y-Parc.
Julian Jefferys’ side had enjoyed a two-goal lead at the interval, thanks to netted efforts by Carwyn Price and Huw Quaeck.
Llandudno’s defence was breached for the first time on 18 minutes, when Price despatched a firm 15-yarder into the net, and then on 44 minutes Quaeck latched on to a sloppy back-pass to beat the keeper.
Penrhyn had survived a couple of scares during the half, when Albion found the home team’s crossbar and post, and the visitors became more effective in the second spell as they clawed back the arrears.
Keeper Rob Watson was beaten by Llandudno’s Dave Maddock on 68 minutes and crucially Connor Davies on 84, with the equaliser, while on two other occasions the woodwork saved Penrhyn.
Barmouth and Dyffryn United were victims of yet another match postponement, when scheduled hosts Mynydd Llandygai reported their ground was again unfit.
Elsewhere, second-placed title-chasers Llangefni Town beat home side Llanberis 4-0, thanks to a memorable one-man show by Harry Galeotti, who provided all the goals, on 23, 68, 72 and 81 minutes.
Greenfield hammered basement strugglers Nantlle Vale 6-1 at their Maes Dulyn ground, where Sam Jones took centre stage for the Deesiders, firing a hat-trick, with goals after 13, 22 and 76 minutes.
Josh Parry also netted on 75 and 90 minutes, and an own-goal came on 89, all after a solitary reply by Gavin Edwards on 46.
St Asaph City piled up a 7-3 tally against Trearddur Bay United, with goals from Jason Foulkes after one and 79 minutes, Chris Bennett on 12 and 65, Jake Walker on 53 and Shaun Davies on 58 and 75.
Trearddur Bay played their part to some extent with replies from an own-goal on 11 minutes and Anthony Parry netting twice, on 57 and 67 minutes.
• Blaenau Ffestiniog Amateurs’ division two match against Prestatyn Sports was switched to Cae Clyd, but they were unable to capitalise on home advantage as the visitors ran out as 8-1 winners.
After just 15 minutes, Blaenau had young Elgar Hughes sent off for a foul just outside the penalty area, but before then Ian Griffiths had opened the scoring .
It turned out to be a good day for Griffiths as before the interval he scored another three goals on 39, 43 and 45 minutes.
Kris Owen netted another for the visitors on 29, but within a minute Joe Dukes scored a consolation goal for the hosts.
It remained 5-1 until just after the hour, before goals from Kris Owen, an own goal and Tom Court completed the scoring.
