Mon, 26 November 2007 The Gaffer speaks: " Well what can I say after a game such as that? I felt first half we played well without getting the rewards we deserved and the main reason for that was some awful finishing. We really should have been in a comfortable position by half time and we should have been able to relax. Then when Lex got themselves going we found it hard to contain them. We picked up 2 injuries at the back (Tony Davies and Tommy Harrison) and that meant the game became just an end to end tussle that could have swung either way. Thankfully we came out with the points and I have to give the lads credit for that , as they stuck at it and kept playing when it looked like it wasn’t going to be our day. Scoring goals at crucial times in games is something we are still struggling to do on the whole , and even though we scored 4 times on Saturday , we should have scored earlier and the game would of taken a different course , I feel , as we were well on top. Injuries at the back will be a major concern for this weekend as Adam Jones was missing at Lex XI , along with Matt Gatfield and now Tony Davies and Tommy Harrison have picked up knocks.

Sat, 24 November 2007 Improved Town Pipped At The Post Denbigh Town Reserves put in a much improved display , and despite losing by the odd goal in five at Rhyl Nomads , will be pleasdeed that their season is back on track after recent poor performances , writes Peter Glynn at Coronation Gardens , Rhyl. From the off Denbigh were at it like a drain , and Chris Hughes combined with Ben Stanway before releasing Matty Toole who drove into the box before smashing home at the near post to give Town the perfect start on 12 minutes. It was the start they needed to boost confidence and Town were doing the basics right , setting up solidly and finding their speedy front men quickly. On 20 minutes though , Rhyl snatched a leveller. A shot came in through a ruck of players , which Chris Brown did well to push away , but Adam Cassidy reacted first and slammed in the lamb to give the host parity. Darren Nixon had a superb little run and his quality ball fell to Toole who inched it just over. But at the other end , Kevin James had to time a tackle to perfection as a Noman incursion threatened the visitor's goal. Experienced Denbigh stopper Chris Brown was now a virtual specator for the remainder of the first stanza as Lee Mason and Jamie Clayton dealt with the long over the top balls that Nomads employed as a tactic , though on one occasion Jonny Bowen had to be brave to block off a surging run by a menacing Deano Moss. The second half saw Denbigh with wind advantage and they retook the lead on 49 minutes.Ben Stanway fed Tom Sheridan who broke through on the right and his shot was scrambled away as far as Si Mackie who rolled the ball into the empty net. Nomads now responded and upped the ante , and evergreen Brown did well to keep two shots out , but the pressure told and Deano Moss executed a fine move to draw the Nomads level again. It was now a case of who would win it as both sides threw themselves forward in search of the three points. Toole and Mackie again went close , but on 89 minutes the Gardeners pinched the points when Moss converted his second and Nomads' third. Final Score: Rhyl Nomads 3 Denbigh Town Reserves 2 Denbigh Town Reserves: Chris Brown , Kevin James , Jonny Bowen , Jamie Clayton , Lee Mason , Ben Stanway , Chris Hughes , Tom Sheridan , Simon Mackie , Matty Toole , Darren Nixon.

Sat, 24 November 2007 Denbigh Pinch Points In Lex Thriller Never-say-die Denbigh Town pinched the points in an amazing seven goal thriller at Lex X1 , writes Peter Glynn at Stansty Park. Swinging like a pendulum from end to end , the game a great spectacle for the casual observer - but manager Tim Dyer will be wondering how his side allowed Lex a sniff of the points - and ultimately had to rely on an injury time double strike to come away with the win.   The Central Park club were off to a quick start and Ian Evans and Mike Lundstram were both desperately unlucky not to register in the first minutes. But it was Lex X1 who showed the way to goal when on 4 minutes Kieran Duckett was put in the clear and his low drive beat Jamie Hulse at the near post from 20 yards out. The Vale side were rocked and Lex almost doubled their tally when ex-Denbigh player Gary Penlington dinked over a lovely lob which struck a post with Hulse nowhere. It was a reprieve and Denbigh were to take advantage of it. Luke O'Mahoney - this lad has skill and energy to burn - began to cause trouble with some strong bursts down the left and then Tommy Harrison played over an angled ball from the full back berth onto the manly chest of Kenny Burgess , whose lob beat both keeper and left hand post. Hobson slashed wide , Ian Evans stamped in frustration as his effort bobbled over and then Lundstram was denied by a brave Gary Jones in the Lex goal.   The second stanza saw the game turned on its head , courtesy of Jamie Hobson who was taking hold of midfield , his work rate beginning to trouble the hosts. His superb cross on 47 minutes from the right was met by the incoming Mark Orme who connected sweetly on the volley and the game was level. A minute later Hobson ran at the heart of a now panicky Lex defence and though his shot was well saved by Jones but , lurking Lundstram stroked home with the goal gaping. O'Mahoney and Lundstram were now going for the throat and Evans again went close , then Harden weaved a spell but his ball into the box bamboozled both attackers and defenders.   Harden had a go himself , firing over and then O'Mahoney took a touch too much when a simple ball could have presented Lundstram with another. Lex looked as if they were there for the taking. Suddenly Town took their foot off the pedal and Lex were back in it. It was a dangerous move as Lex are quality up top , and on 64 minutes , after a period of pressure , Danny Powell smashed home an equaliser direct from a free kick. Town were leaking players as well as goals , with Tommy Harrison and Tony Davies limping off , having run their bodies into the ground. Town now were hanging on for a point and Penlington was proving to be a menace up front and after two headers and a lob that failed to test Hulse , he left it to Jamie McNeill to convert on with a nod in on 84 minutes after a scramble in the Denbigh box.   Lex now thought they had bagged the points and it was their turn to switch off - and ultimately paid a heavy price. Town began to play some of their best stuff of the season and into injury time gained their reward , snatching a game that they should have comfortably won. Harden sent over a lovely free kick on 90 minutes and Lundstram rose like a salmon to plant a firm header home for 3-3. Then on the whistle Steve Jones put himself about and the ball was scrambled over the line by a Burgess toe to give Denbigh the three points.

Wed, 21 November 2007 Denbigh Town Reserves 0 Mochdre Sports 3 Denbigh's second string continue to find life in the Clwyd Premier League a tough nut to crack , writes Utility Reporter. Despite turning out their strongest eleven for a number of weeks , the tide could not be turned. Both sides began the match with intent , registering efforts on goal within the first few minutes, Denbigh's first effort on goal came after a fine flowing move with Matt Toole releasing Mike Lundstrum down the right, he burst into the box and shot across the face of goal. On fourteen minutes Tom Sheridan pounced on a loose ball in the box, but his shot was parried by the Mochdre keeper and the rebound could not be forced home. Within 3 minutes Sports were ahead, Barry Grimshaw netting from close range. Both sides continued to press but Mochdre held the territorial advantage with the help of the wind. However Denbigh had their best period of the half in the final ten minutes, a Tom Sheridan header from a Gareth John Williams free kick went across the face of goal, somehow missing Lee Mason's despairing lunge for the safety of a goal kick. Right on half time Denbigh had another good chance, but Mike Lundstrum's free kick was safely gathered by the visiting keeper. Mochdre flew out of the blocks at half time and only a last ditch tackle by Johnny Bowen prevented Mochdre's Grimshaw having a free strike on goal, the visitors continued to press for the second goal, having two headers first saved and then cleared. Denbigh managed to effect some play and in quick succession Williams had a shot blocked, whilst Toole blasted high and wide. As the hour approached more possession for Mochdre proved decisive as following some slack defending Jay Goddard found enough space to fire home Sports' second goal. The Reserves needed a quick reposte and efforts from Lundstrum (one hitting the post) and Chris Hughes gave Town some hope. Simon Mackie replaced Darren Nixon as Denbigh went for broke with Lundstrum's chip from the right being tipped over by Mochdre's custodian and from the subsequent corner Lee Mason headed over. As the half wore on Denbigh continued to dominate possession and territory without getting close enough to put significant pressure on the Mochdre goal. On the break Mochdre continued to give Denbigh plenty to think about and with better finishing from Grimshaw they could have been out of sight. Another substitution saw Brett Jones replacing Matt Toole, but still Denbigh could not break down the visitor's back line, the closest effort being a Mike Lundstrum header which was cleared off the line. Seconds later the match was over as after another incisive break from Sports, coupled with some poor defending saw Goddard smash home his second. The last rites were now being read as another Denbigh free kick came to nothing and the referee brought the game to a close. Denbigh Town Reserves: Gareth Smith, Johnny Bowen, Lee Mason, Jamie Clayton, Justin Jones, Chris Hughes, Tom Sheridan, Mike Lundstrum, Darren Nixon, Gareth John Williams, Matt Toole.

Assistant Manager Dean Martin Dean Martin spoke after the game and pinpointed the second half that saw Denbigh Town prevail against visitors Buckley Town. " The lads responded really well to the half time team talk. We did everything right , the balls were good going in , we asked quetions of their defence instead of them asking questions of ours. A good performance. You cannot pick a man of the match today , it belongs to the eleven players who were out there - it was a team effort."
Mark Orme - Denbigh skipper Mark Orme : " We were behind twice - a lot of times this season we have gone behind - so it was good character to bounce back. To be fair , we were the better side by a mile , but we gave them a couple of cheap goals." On his winner , the Denbigh skipper said: " Yes its quite a while since I 've got one - I think its's the first for me in the league this season. A great knock back by Tony (Davies) - I knew he was going to win it so it was just a case of making sure I was in the right place." "We were the better side from start to finish and we just have to get out of this habit of giving teams a start. But it was a good win."

Sat, 10 November 2007 Back To Back Wins for Resilient Denbigh Town Bounce-back-ability ensured Denbigh Town made it a run of six unbeaten as they twice came from behind to beat a youthful Buckley Town outfit by the odd goal in five , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park. Now lying fifth in the Cymru Alliance , Dyer will be delighted to record back to back wins and will be pleased at the never say die attitude shown by his troops. The weather may have been dismal but the hosts were hot from the off , with Ian Evans going close almost from the kick off , slicing over when well placed - and then Mike Lundstram got his head to a Kenny Burgess cross. With the wind at their back , the home side were all over Buckley like a rash and Burgess went agonisingly close to an opener on 8 minutes when his 30 yarder was superbly tipped over by Dave Vickers in the visitors' goal. But counting chickens is unwise in football and if Denbigh thought the Bucks were there for the taking , they were in for a shock. A rare Buckley sortie brought the opening goal and it was courtesy of a handball decision against Mark Orme - harsh some (though not I )might say - and up stepped Nick Whiteley to send Hulse the wrong way and the visitors were whooping.   Tony Davies , watched by Luke O'Mahoney + Tommy Harrison Dyer's men looked stunned and the young Flintshire eleven began to grow in confidence. Former Llandyrnog midfielder Miles Todd , the pick of the visitors , began to stroke the ball around and he sought out hitman Alan Dawson who was unluckly to see his effort deflected away , with Denbigh's defenders looking around for a flag. Then on 25 minutes Todd ran helter skelter towards goal , only for the brave Hulse to put his body on the line and gather with Rob Williams steaming in.   Todd & Whiteley The Central Park brigade began to settle and Harrison stamped his authority on proceedings, and , aided by Burgess , slipped in Lundstram but visiting custodian Vickers stood up well and the danger was cleared. With Buckley now limited to the counter , Town were picking up the bits on the edge of the visitors' box and Hobson sent in two strikes , the first snaffled by Vickers and the other inching wide of an upright. Town received instruction at half time and a minute after the break were deservedly level. Hobson , the engine , swung over a pinpoint cross from a free kick out on the right , the ball eventually reaching Harrison at the far post , who took a touch and slammed home.  Tommy Harrison in action. It was now all Denbigh. Lundstram set up Hobson who sidefooted wide. Then Adam Jones swung over a sweetie which Vickers plucked out of the air superbly , but on 55 minutes Buckley stunned the home side once again and found themselves with an unlikely lead courtesy of an offside looking Alan Dawson. The big man slipped the ball beyond glovesman Hulse after being put in the clear by Miles Todd - and the Bucks sensed an unlikely three points. Dyer's men retaliated and little Ryan Harden had an effort cleared off the line after a bizarre passage of play after Lundstram went on a mazy run, but then at the other end the visitor's Mark Williams shot over when well placed in a now rare breakaway. But Denbigh were level on 64 minutes when another great run by Lundstram - he had an exceptional game - and the fleet footer's latest dash into the box was brought to an end illegally and Burgess slammed home to give the hosts parity. There was now only one team likely to win it and Denbigh grabbed a decisive lead four minutes later , set up by the busy Burgess. The winger created a little bit of room , sent over a cross towards Tony Davies at the far post and the big man's header fell to Mark Orme in front of the net and the Town skipper smashed it home gleefully. Burgess should have sealed it on 80 minutes when put in the clear but a cruel bobble intervened and the ball flew over.  Vickers gathers the ball off the head of Davies Dyer threw on O'Mahoney and Matt Toole , and the youngsters linked up to test Vickers as Buckley clung on - but the game was finally put beyond them as a committed Miles Todd saw a second yellow and subsequent red - and the points were claimed by Denbigh.

Mon, 5 November 2007 Post Match Reaction Following Denbigh Town's 1-0 win at Glantraeth , Manager Tim Dyer spoke of the work rate and the amount of chances we are creating - but pointed to a defensive display that ultimately gave his side the three points. "It was a bit nail biting to say the least!!! We worked really hard and having seen the match reports from both Glantraeth and the Daily Post , I think someone is forgetting the amount of chances we had ourselves. Yes , they did have a lot of possession but of the clear cut chances , I think we had more than them over 90 mins." To keep a clean sheet was all important and Dyer heaped praise on Captain Mark Orme and his partner in central defence , John Roberts. " John Roberts and Mark Orme were superb in defence. I think the match as a whole was similar to our games with Gresford Athletic and Ruthin Town - only this time the opposition had more of the play. The team spirit was excellent - everyone worked really hard especially after we lost Kevin Evans with a badly cut foot. Mike Lundstram played 65 mins with a damaged knee , so I expect both player will be missing for a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks. The squad is stretched to the limit at the moment. " One man likely to return is big central defender Tony Davies. " Tony will be back in the squad for Saturday but as yet we are not sure on Darren Cassidy’s fitness so we will see how things sit on Wednesday night at training. We may also look to recruit from the Reserves , dependent on availability and injuries of the existing squad. " Looking forward to Saturday , Manager Dyer stated that the match against Buckley will be a hard fixture and he had good things to say about old adversary Simon Sedgwick , the Buckley boss. "Buckley will be another tough game but one we definitely have to target a win from and we’ll be renewing our rivalry with ex- Rhyl Reserves boss Simon Sedgwick. He’ll be back at Mark Orme was also full of praise after the game: "It was a tough game. We could have scored a couple more in the first half but it was a big defensive effort in the second. Special mention to Jamie Hulse and John Roberts who were both superb." Category: general -- posted at: 8:04 AM Comments[0] |

Sat, 3 November 2007
Denbigh Town Reserves found the quality of Beaumaris a little too hard to handle , writes Peter Glynn. The 3rd Round encounter was a repeat of last year's NWCFA Junior Cup match up , but wheras the 2006 encounter was decided by penalties , this was settled as a contest after the first 45 minutes. Missing a number of key men , Town matched the Islansers stride for stride for the first half hour , but three quickfire goals for Biw just before the break put the tie beyond the visitors. Another five goals in the second stanza were conceded as Town threw themselves forward in search of a goal , but the nearest they came was when Matt Toole hit a post in the last minute. Denbigh Town: Gaz Smith , Chris Bailey , Jon Bowen , Jamie Clayton , Ian Evans , Tom Sheridan , Darren Nixon , Matt Toole , Steffan Tomos , Keith Jones , Gaz John Williams. Subs: Marc Greiff , Adam Owen , Kevin James , Chris Brown. Comment: Reserves came up against a very good Beaumris outfit. The result was a bit harsh on our youngsters but they took defeat on the chin and will bounce back from it. Here are some snaps of the game.

Sat, 3 November 2007 One Hit Wonder Steals the Points Denbigh Town secured their first away win of the season with a solitary goal which claimed all three points at Glantraeth , writes Peter Glynn at Cae Trefdraeth. Now on an unbeaten run of five , it was important for Dyer's Denbigh to start turning draws into wins - and this they did courtesy of a 34th minute Tommy Harrison strike which was worthy of winning any game. It was possibly hard on the hosts who may think they had been mugged in this nip and tuck encounter - possibly pickpocketed would be a more accurate charge to levy. Whereas Town bossed much of the first stanza , Traeth edged the second. And the hosts will point to an incident right at the death when they felt a spot kick should have been awarded them , after Emyr Rowlands hit terra firma when almost clear on goal. The match began with both keepers in immediate action , Gareth Roberts for Traeth pouching a Harrison free kick and then Hulse for Denbigh getting down well to save a firm strike. Kevin Evans opened his legs , fed Adam Jones and his cross found the head of Mike Lundstram which zipped over. Glan replied with Kevin Roberts and Emyr Rowlands combining on a breakaway , but impressive John Roberts was quick to clear the danger.    Gatfield + Roberts + Adam Jones Jamie Hobson tested the Traeth keeper direct from a free kick , which was gathered at the second attempt and then Mike Lundstram was desperate to see his shot on 8 minutes inch just wide. Next Hulse - he had an immaculate game - had to gobble up a swinging cross-shot and then a minute later only sterling work from Town's Mark Orme prevented Emyr Rowlands getting on the end of a long ball. Big Islander Paul Tilbury got his head onto a corner as the hosts now upped the ante and Dyer must then have cursed his luck when Town lost midfielder Kevin Evans to a nasty angle injury which required a visit to casualty. Tilbury again headed over when well placed and the hosts must have begun to ponder whether it was to be their day.    Orme + Harden + Hobson They escaped a moment later when Lundstram was flagged offside from a superb through ball by work-a-holic Jamie Hobson , and then sub Burgess played in Lundstram again but the Denbighite was left bewildered to see his goal bound effort hacked off the line. Burgess was now in charge and a wicked free kick on the half hour found Tommy Harrison who almost broke the deadlock with a fine shot. Back bounced Traeth and Hulse had to dive full length to palm a Rowlands effort round the post but Burgess was on fire and his great run set up Ian Evans but the poacher failed to connect as the goal beckoned. But a minute later the Central Park mob had pinched a lead. It was that man Harrison who drove a 27 yard free kick into the back of the net and Town were in dreamland. Glan responded by forcing a corner but Town scented a second and Burgess picked out a lurking Ian Evans at the far post but his nod just scraped over. Little Ryan Harden swung over a corner from which Harrison almost prodded home and next a great Adam Jones cross evaded everyone when surely the merest of touches would have given Denbigh some breathing space. Half time came a little too soon and Glantraeth came out full of fight and determination with Hulse at his best to pull a cross out of thin air with both Rowlands boys waiting to pounce. Denbigh were now under the cosh , clearing a free kick and corner in quick succession , but a breakaway by speedster Lundstram released Harrison but the Denbigh man shot wide. Gatfield headed a cross-shot behind for another Traeth flag kick and Nigel Barry then had an effort that failed to trouble Hulse when well placed. Yet at the other end Harrison , a constant danger on the counter , planted one wide after a Gatfield cross found him in space on the hour mark. Hulse was excellent once again to snaffle an inswinging free kick , then Ian Evans went on the rampage , closely followed by Lundstram but both men were unlucky to see their efforts cleared to safety. It was now an end to end tussle with both teams failing to apply that clinical touch in front of goal , and of the two glovesmen, it was Hulse who was the busier , saving an effort on 71 minutes and a minute later energetically grasping a cross from a flag kick. With time running out , Dyer threw on Steve Jones for Ian Evans and the move almost paid off when the veteran went up for a free kick but Roberts got down well to keep his side in it. Lundstram must wonder what he has to do as on 89 minutes his fine touch took the ball past Roberts and his effort trickled along the goal-line to safety with most already acknowledging a goal.
Lee Mason Yet at the death came the seminal moment of the match. Emyr Rowlands latched onto the ball in the Town box and Lee Mason managed to get toe to ball before both men collided. With everyone holding their breath in anticipation of a referee Trigg decision , Denbigh were relieved to see the whistleblower wave away any penalty claim - Town were home and hose with the three points.
