Holywell Town v Denbigh Town Halkyn Road Final Score 1-3 Chris Moores' 85 minutes goal finally settled an end to end encounter as Denbigh Town ran out 3-1 winners against Holywell Town at Halkyn Road. Three points was a must for Dyer's men and the visitors were probably good value for their win against a much improved Flintshire outfit. Denbigh set the pace early doors as Booker and Moores combined well , forcing the keeper to be brave. Booker had a mesmerising game and the winger beat two men and shot across the goalmouth with Ian Evans just failing to add the final touch. Yet another Booker run linked up Harden and Moores , the latter just over running the ball at the death. Hulse was called into spectacular action , the Denbigh stopper stretching to tip a long range effort onto the crossbar. Hulse then got up to punch away a wicked cross , the follow up shot being deflected away by Kevin Jones for a corner. Denbigh bounced back and Adam Jones whipped in a sweet ball to Cassidy who struck a first time volley that inched past an upright. Both sides were finding it difficult to play classy soccer on the bumpy surface but Booker's skill almost brought an opener. His clipped pass fell perfectly to the head of Moores , but the Denbigh man could only guide the ball into the arms of the grateful host's keeper. But it was only a respite for Hoywell , as Denbigh struck on the half hour. Harden found himself in space in midfield and his run found Booker lurking out on the left. He fed Ian Evans who slipped his marker to roll the ball into the empty net. The visitors were now in control as first Moores tested the keeper from long range , and then a Booker free kick was fumbled with the Denbigh forwards unable to pick up the bits. Then on the stroke of half time a Cassidy free kick fell to Booker , whose effort rattled the crossbar , with Ian Evans' follow up effort just floating wide. If the first half belonged to Booker , the second belonged to Williams Cooke. The big man combined with Harden and released the workaholic Moores who was desperate to see his effort well pouched at the second attempt. Next Gatfield pumped a ball into the box which fell to Williams Cooke , who set Moores up with a one on one , with the Holywell custodian coming out on top. Then Booker slipped a ball into Moores' path but the striker could only guide the ball at the keeper as the bobble contrived to deny the Denbigh man a goal he desperately deserved. On 50 minutes Hulse was back in action on two occasions but Booker combined with Williams Cooke who put through Evans , but the Holywell defence muscled up at the expense of a corner. Another goal was coming and it was a Booker corner , superbly dummied by Williams Cooke that let in John Roberts to toe poke the ball home with the home defence bamboozled. Williams Cooke now threatened to grab the match by the scruff of the neck as first he released Booker who fired at the keeper when well placed. Then from a corner , the big man found the head of Kevin Evans who was unlucky to see his effort scrambled away. Roberts proved his worth at the other end as his last ditch tackle saved a certain goal , then at the other end Williams Cooke did the old one-two with Ian Evans , but was disappointed that his final shot was powder puff. Suddenly Holywell shifted up a gear and Denbigh were fortunate not to concede from a corner that was eventually scrambled away. Gaps were appearing in the host's defence as they sought a way back into the game. Williams Cooke broke and he linked with Kenny Burgess and Moores before firing off a cannon that ricocheted for a flag kick. From that another Williams Cooke blockbuster flattened a defender , but Holywell broke out and forced a corner themselves from which Kevin Thomas poached a goal with the Denbigh back line in a panic. Holywell sniffed an unlikely equaliser with time was running out but Dyer played his trump , replacing the tireless Ian Evans with Calvin Davies. His superb run and quality cross from the right found the head of Moores and the striker made it 3-1 with no way back for Holywell. Denbigh: Hulse , Gatfield , A.Jones , K.Jones , Roberts , Cassidy , Harden , Williams Cooke , Booker , I.Evans , Moores. Subs (used) Burgess , K.Evans , Davies ( not used) Hobson. Comments[3] | ||||

Wed, 14 February 2007 ![]() A Mark Orme strike and a Richard Williams Cooke double booked Denbigh a place in the North Wales Coast FA Cup 2nd Round at the expense of Welsh Cup giant killers Holyhead Hotspur at The New Oval . Taking a break from the stress of league action , Town settled into a rhythm and looked confident as they pressed forward from the first whistle. Ryan Harden was busy early doors , and on the 10 minute mark his free kick found Andy Booker lurking at the edge of the box , his effort forcing the keeper into a fine save. Despite a bumpy playing surface , Denbigh were stroking the ball around with ease and a great ball by Ian Evans picked out Chris Moores who was up-ended on the edge of the box. From the resultant free kick , Harden found Mark Orme but his touch just failed to find the target. It was all Denbigh as Hotspur were reduced to breakaways and shots from distance. Booker and Adam Jones combined down the left and the fullback's superb inswinger was met by Evans whose header just grazed the post with the keeper grasping at air. Hulse in the Town goal was receiving running repairs to a knee injury , but he was rarely troubled as first Moores won a free kick on the right after a run at the Spurs goal , and then the same man just failed to connect with a dangerous Booker cross. Holyhead hit back and Jamie Hobson had to cover a lot of ground to prevent the home side getting off a shot on goal and then Cassidy had to be at his best to block off another Spurs incursion. Denbigh almost took a lead on 23 minutes when Ian Evans was fouled within shooting range and up stepped Booker to unleash a piledriver that was fisted away by the Holyhead shotstopper. And a minute later it was 1 - 0 to the Town as Harden picked out the busy Cassidy on the right. The Denbigh man did well to keep the ball in play and he skinned the full back before planting over a cross which was met by Orme who stabbed the ball into the net. Denbigh were not taking their foot off the pedal and Williams Cooke won the ball in midfield. His pass found Evans and the Denbigh hitman let rip with a shot that was forced behind for another Denbigh flag kick. Hulse was called into serious action for the first time on the half hour mark but Town immediately countered with a Moores screamer that was turned over by the under pressure Spurs goalie. On 40 minutes Town deservedly doubled their lead when the ball broke to Booker on the edge of the box. His slide rule pass found Williams Cooke and the big man danced his way past both defender and keeper to walk the ball into an empty net. Town weren't finished and on the stroke of half time , a Moores header was cleared off the line as Denbigh now threatened to run riot. Holyhead came out a more determined outfit in the second stanza and immediately whistled a shot just past the post and followed it up by testing Hulse with a snorter that the Denbigh keeper did well to pouch. It was now end to end as first Williams Cooke found Moores whose final touch let him down when well placed , and then Spurs went close following a foul by John Roberts on the edge of the visitors box. Williams Cooke undertook defensive duties to clear away a dangerous ball as Holyhead were looking to get back in the game and Hulse had to be alert to save a snapshot from Jonny Parry. Denbigh weathered the storm and the move of the match involving RWC , Jones , Booker and finally Moores almost resulted in a third but the keeper smothered the final shot. Denbigh were now back in the ascendancy as Ian Evans fed the workhorse Moores and only a last ditch tackle prevented the Denbigh man a certain goal. Swapping shirts is usually reserved for the final whistle , but Booker nearly had his taken off his back as the Denbigh conjuror caused havoc in the middle of the park. Another delightful move saw Moores feed Evans whose exquisite flick header fell to Cassidy , but the keeper got down well to smother the effort. Roberts in the Denbigh defence was snuffing out the few breakaways by the Holyhead forwards , and the same man picked out the willing Cassidy whose great run and cross was met by Moores , who was disappointed to head over when well placed. It was only a matter of time before the visitors scored again and it came on 79 minutes when Moores set up Booker , whose fumbled shot fell to the lurking Williams Cooke and the Denbigh man despatched the ball with the Holyhead defence all at sea. Denbigh were good value for their lead and Dyer sent on Gary Madoc Jones. The youngster was immediately into the fray as he won a stern challenge in midfield , took two paces and slammed the ball home only to see it ruled out for offside. Booker sent in a screamer after being found by a long ball out of defence , and then sub Steve Jones set up the same man after interlinking with the ever willing Williams Cooke. Then a Williams Cooke special fizzed across the box , just begging for that final touch. On the final whistle a strong Madoc Jones challenge won the ball and his dink ball let in the now rampant Williams Cooke who was denied his hat-trick by a super save from the Hotspur keeper.

Mon, 5 February 2007 ![]() Llanrwst United 1 v Denbigh Town 1 Denbigh let slip a vital lead as Llanrwst United hit back to claim a draw at Gwydyr Park in the Welsh Alliance's match of the day. It was a scrappy opening to the game , with both sides feeling their opponents out , but on 10 minutes Paul Edwards found his midfield partner Kevin Evans, who took a touch , looked up and tested the Rwster keeper with a shot from the edge of the box. Chances at goal were at a premium as both sides failed to find a rhythm , though Denbigh may claim they were worthy of an early lead . That man Edwards thought he had scored from an Andy Booker flag kick. The wing wizard sent over a pin point cross and the Denbigh dynamo was unfortunate to see his effort strike the underside of the bar , with his colleagues claiming the ball had crossed the line. Then on 15 minutes , the influential Williams-Cooke set off on a run , feeding the over-lapping Adam Jones , but the full back's dink pass just failed to find Ian Evans who was lurking by the penalty spot. The on-form Williams-Cooke now had the wind in his nostrils as he collected the ball in the centre circle , and he beat one , then beat another and slammed the ball goalwards , but keeper Roberts was equal to the task and he pulled out a top drawer save at the expense of a corner. With Hulse a virtual spectator between the Denbigh sticks , it looked as though one goal might win it. The second half started as the first , in very scrappy mode , but the game burst into life on the 78 minute mark with Town grabbing a lead. Substitute Ryan Harden sent over a low fizzing flag kick which bamboozled everyone , apart from Captain Orme at the far post , and from 2 yards out the Denbigh man gratefully slammed the ball home to give Town an edge. But the Rwsters are nothing if not resilient , and the lead lasted only four minutes when the Denbigh defence was caught napping and a snap shot from the prolific Bryn Jenkins beat the despairing Hulse from the edge of the box. Denbigh bounced back as Evans and Harden combined , and the little conjurer had the Rwst back four flapping with a mazy dribble that almost set up the Town number nine. Booker was becoming a menace , and he ran at the heart of the Rwster back line. His sharp effort was parried behind , with Moores sniffing out any titbits. Williams-Cooke was pushed further forward as Dyer's men sought a winner , and the Denbigh man nearly restored the lead after yet another silky run at the heart of the United defence , but his effort was excellently saved at full stretch by the Rwster's custodian. Denbigh Town may be disappointed to lose a 1-0 lead but it is still all to play for in what is turning out to be an exciting Welsh Alliance League championship battle. Denbigh Town: Jamie Hulse , Matty Gatfield , Adam Jones , Mark Orme , John Roberts , Paul Edwards , Richard Williams Cooke , Kevin Evans , Ian Evans , Chris Moores , Andy Booker. Subs: Ryan Harden , Darren Cassidy , Jamie Hobson , Kevin Jones , Steve Jones. Denbigh Town Reserves 0 v Abergele Rovers 2 Global warming arrived in Denbigh with the Town's Reserves taking on league leaders Abergele Rovers in a hot & spicy encounter at Central Park. With both teams using the balmy weather conditions to play attractive football , Tony Sheridan's young charges can be rightly proud of their display against Gele , and had it not been for the wordwork , were probably worthy of a draw. From the outset , this was an end to end encounter and in the first minute Gareth Roberts tricked his way to the byline and his cross fell to Earnshaw , but the midfielder's first timer was saved by Gele's Taylor. The difficulty of Denbigh's task was shown to them when , on the 7 minutes mark , a burst out of defence gave the visitors an early lead. Quick feet in midfield released Tom Galvin who found himself one on one with the Denbigh keeper and it was 1-0. Denbigh responded as Madoc Jones tested the keeper after a surging run , but at the other end Smith had to stop another certain goal after Galvin again found himself clear in front of the target. Town fought back and a Bowen long throw found the head of Sheridan , the Denbigh youngster's flick being fired over by the incoming Madoc-Jones. Then a James Koval freekick found the head of the same man , but again the Denbigh poacher just failed to find the target. The Vale side began to pile on the pressure as Scrimshaw threatened to go all the way , only to be downed in cynical fashion by an outstretched Rovers foot. Just as Denbigh were taking a grip , Rovers doubled their lead on 29 minutes with a speculative effort from Sammy McDougall that flew into the net from a free kick out on the right touchline. Denbigh now had to stand up and be counted as the confident league leaders threatened to run riot.Smith got down well to pouch a Steel sizzler , then Abbott scraped the left post when under pressure from Justin Jones. With Lee Mason and Jones leading by example , Denbigh weathered the onslaught and gradually clawed their way back into the game , with Madoc Jones and Roberts combining to create an opening that was tipped away by the Gele shotstopper. Opportunity knocked when Roberts conjured a ball out of nowhere into the danger zone , but with first Toole and then Kovall hesitant , the danger was cleared. Earnshaw was running himself ragged in the middle of the park and one great surge and cross was dealt with at full stretch by Taylor , with Toole lurking for any scraps. Then Toole and Madoc Jones combined well and the latter was unlucky to drag his shot wide when well placed. The same man was left head in hands when a Lee Mason free kick was punched out and the Madoc Jones volley struck the bar with the Gele keeper AWOL. Then on half time a dubious offside decision robbed Madoc Jones of a one on one situation , after sublime work by Scrimshaw. On the hour mark , the game began to hot up , with Steel seeing red for two bookable offences and then Denbigh lost Sheridan with a straight red for an off the ball incident. Town now began to dominate and Madoc Jones fired wide when a classy Earnshaw free kick fell to the Denbigh hitman. Then Gaz Lewis rose like a salmon at the far post , but was unlucky to see his header saved by the impressive Taylor. With Aber offering little up front , Man of the Match Scrimshaw was on the receiving end of some stern challenges , but the little maestro managed to feed action man Madoc Jones whose snapshot was turned round the post. Then the same man was left cursing his luck as a minute later his superb volley smacked against the bar after a delightful ball from the skillful Lewis. Town were not giving it up , and first Earnshaw curled an effort wide , then Madoc Jones should have scored when the ball fell to him from a flag kick , and then on the final whistle , Bowen and Madoc Jones combined to release Scrimshaw , but the ball was scrambled away to safety just as a consolation seemed likely. Denbigh Town Reserves: Gareth Smith , Jonny Bowen , Rob Scrimshaw , Justin Jones , Lee Mason , John Earnshaw , James Kovall , Tom Sheridan , Matty Toole , Gary Madoc Jones , Gareth Roberts.
