PENRHYNCOCH climbed to fifth in the MMP Central Wales League South after a commanding 6-1 victory over Penparcau at Min-y-Ddol on Saturday.

With many matches across the region postponed because of Storm Boelo, the Roosters made the most of their opportunity to collect three valuable points.

The visitors made a flying start, taking the lead through Connor Williams after good work from Taylor Richardson. Just six minutes into the contest, Steffan Taylor doubled Penrhyncoch’s advantage to leave the hosts with a mountain to climb.

Despite their dominance, the Roosters had to wait until the 65th minute to extend their lead, Joshua Evans finding the net to make it 3-0. Eddie Rhodes then converted from the penalty spot with 15 minutes remaining before substitute Joshua Lane struck soon after to put the game beyond doubt.

Matthew Davies pulled a goal back for Penparcau with 10 minutes to go, but Penrhyncoch had the final word as Mark Evans rounded off an impressive team display with a sixth goal late on.

In the MMP Central Wales League North, Berriew moved to the summit on goal difference thanks to Richard Davies’ first-half winner in a hard-fought victory at Forden United.

Tywyn Bryncrug endured a difficult afternoon as Montgomery Town recorded a 6-0 win. Goals from Sam Evans, Thomas Halliday and Thomas Evans gave the hosts a 3-0 half-time lead before they tightened their grip after the break. Halliday completed his hat-trick, while Evans added his second of the afternoon.

Welshpool Town also hit six, easing past Kerry Reserves 6-0. Ethan Kinsey stole the show with four goals, while Craig Griffiths and Luke Thomas completed the scoring.

Meanwhile, Llanfyllin Town and Abermule shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw. Ronnie Lee put Llanfyllin ahead after eight minutes, but Ethan Grigg equalised for the visitors before the quarter-hour mark.
