Denbigh Town wasted a two goal lead to succumb to a quality Llandudno Town outfit in a five goal thriller , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park.

In a game that could have gone either way , the hosts will be kicking themselves that they did not come away with at least a share of the spoils - and but for two excellent saves from Tudno's glovesman Rooney , Denbigh would have had at least a point in this exciting top half encounter.

Ian Evans breaks forward: O'Mahoney and Lundstram challenge

It was the visitors who showed early doors , and Bryn Jenkins tested Denbigh's defence on ten minutes when his firm strike was acrobatically deflected away by a flying Jamie Hulse , much appreciated by the travelling contingent.

Luke O'Mahoney won a free kick for the Central Park club on 13 minutes which gave Ian Evans a chance with a header , but at the other end Jenkins was again denied when Tommy Harrison put out a desperate leg to parry another stinging effort.

Denbigh were giving as well as taking , and it was on a quick break from defence that they took a lead. On 16 minutes John Roberts broke free on the right before finding quicksilver  Mike Lundstram. Lundstram beat two before squaring for Ian Evans who touched it left and Darren Cassidy fired home in the bottom left hand corner to edge the hosts ahead.

Harden in Centre Mid: Ally Bennett welcomes Cymru Alliance Secretary Chas Rowland

Denbigh were now on fire. Harrison had a free kick palmed over , then Ryan Harden delivered a sweet ball to a free Luke O'Mahoney who bore down on goal , but his shot skewered wide , just evading the incoming Lundstram and Evans.

Next , Cassidy went on a jinking run before finding Lundstram in the box , but the striker took one touch too many and the ball fell kindly to a grateful Rooney.

But a minute later Denbigh doubled their advantage when Ian Evans latched onto a dreadful back pass and slipped it beyond the helpless Rooney.

Tudno were shaken and Lundstram's pace took him clear but was desperately unlucky to see his goalbound effort blocked off for a flag kick. From the corner , Harden's inswinger almost went straight in and Rooney had to palm the ball away as Denbigh sniffed a killer third.

The visitors weathered the storm and on 36 minutes were right back in it when Joe Morgan planted a clinical header past Hulse from a left wing Darren Jones cross.

Then on the stroke of half time Jody Hamilton leveled for Tudno with a free header and what had started out as a good day for Denbigh was turning rather sour.

The restart saw Llan in the ascendancy , and Hamilton may have added to his goal on two occasions , both efforts clearing the bar , but at the other end Mark Orme had a goal ruled out for offside when a Jamie Hobson free kick was headed on by worker bee Ian Evans.

Hamilton and Lee Thomas for Llandudno created the move of the match that saw them cut the hosts' defence to shreds , before Thomas' shot inched wide with Hulse at full stretch.

A goal was coming and it was Darren Jones who edge the visitors into the lead on 65 minutes. Denbigh were penalised outside their own penalty box and a quickly taken kick released the midfielder and he poked past a stranded Hulse.

Tim Dyer threw on the returning Kevin Evans and Kenny Burgess in the hope of grabbing a goal, and the latter went close with a fizzbang , then Ian Evans was in wonderment to see his glacing header go straight into Rooney's breadbasket , and next Lundstram beat two or three before poking an effort straight at the impressive Tudno shotstopper.

Llan were dangerous on the break and Orme and John Roberts had to beef up to prevent Lee Hughes from a clear run on goal.

In the dying embers , Tony Davies went up front and one header from the towering defender just cleared the bar  , and then Luke O'Mahoney tried his luck from 35 yards , but Rooney was not going to be beaten.

Denbigh Town: Jamie Hulse , John Roberts , Tommy Harrison , Mark Orme (c) Tony Davies , Luke O'Mahoney , Ryan Harden , Darren Cassidy , Jamie Hobson , Mike Lundstram, Ian Evans. Subs: Kevin Evans , Matty Gatfield , Kenny Burgess , Steve Jones , Adam Jones

Kevin Evans may return but is likely to start on the bench. Apart from the long term injury to midfielder Paul Edwards , Manager Tim Dyer has a full and fit squad from which to choose.
For Llandudno Town , striker Lee Thomas returns to a full strength squad.

Denbigh Town Reserves and battling Penmaenmawr Phoenix fought out a 2-2 draw at sub-zero Central Park , writes an icy Peter Glynn.

With a free date forced on the Cymru Alliance players , the Reserves team was made up totally of first teamers , but despite racing into a 2-0 lead , Denbigh were reined in by an impressive - and still unbeaten -  Phoenix.

Hobson on 24 minutes and O'Mahoney were on the scoresheet for Town - O'Mahoneys a 30 yard curler three minutes later. But Pen stuck at it and Ritchie Roberts pulled a goal back almost immediately and finally on 69 minutes , Pen forced their deserved equaliser.

For long periods Phoenix showed the better effort and on occasions were cutting through the Town defence at will.

Tony Davies hit a post in the first stanza but a drawn game was a fair result at the end of the day. O'Mahoney , Ian Evans and Lundstram also went close , but Ritchie Roberts may consider himself unlucky not to bag a second when put in the clear on 75 minutes.

Burgess was denied on 88 minutes by a flying save from Jamie Tharme and the spoils were shared.

Town Reserves take on Penmaenmawr Phoenix on Saturday at Central Park , kick off 2pm. A dry week will probably ensure that the game goes ahead and that must be a frustration for the first team who will be without a game for three weeks , this week being a free weekend.

Pen have enjoyed a good season thus far - they are the only unbeaten team in the Division , having played 9 , won 6 and drawn 3. This will be a stern test for Denbigh Town Reserves.

The visitors boast the Clwyd Premier's top goal scorer - Ritchie Roberts who has bagged 9 league goals together with 3 cup goals.

The referee for the game is Shaun Cousins. The canteen will be open so please pop along and support the Town and buy a cup of tea off me!

Heavy downpours over the past few days have put both Denbigh Town FC games in jeopady , with the BBC forecasting more rain to come on Friday and Saturday.

Central Park is hosting Gresford Athletic in the Cymru Alliance , whilst the Reserves visit Halkyn United Reserves  - but both games will now be subject to a pitch inspection on Saturday to determine whether or not play is able to go ahead.

Cymru Alliance rules stipulate that pitch inspections should take place at the last possible moment , but in such time to prevent the away side travelling. It is likely that Central Park will be inspected at 11am Saturday and a decision made soon afterwards. It isn't yet know when Halkyn intend to inspect.

On Thursday , parts of the Rec were under water , whilst hundreds of seagulls had migrated in from the coast and had settled onto the Central Park pitch , schools pitches and top pitch.

The road to Nantglyn was flooded last evening after hours of persistant rain , requiring the attendance of Denbigh Fire Crews.

Please complete the survey. It will eventually determine whether or not the podcast will attract advertisers.

The questions are set by Wizzard who own Libsyn and who have asked if I'd be interesting in adverts being placed in the podcast - thinking it might be a way to raise money for club funds.

Thanks

Peter

Oh dear! Under the headline ' Fat Ladies Too ' ,  Denbigh Town FC Bingo Night made the Denbighshire Free Press News In Brief section , referring to the National Association of Flower Arranging Societies demonstration to members of Denbigh Floral Art Club in Denbigh Town Hall.

" ...demonstrator Rosemarie Tree  of Birmingham delighted all with her floral interpretations of Advent for Christmas. To the amusement of the large audience , her microphone picked up Peter Glynn , the bingo caller in full flow. She coped well with the interruptions of 'legs eleven' and 'two fat ladies'.

Apologies to the Floral Art Club for the interruptions. The problem has now been sorted so no longer will Bingo be heard three hundred yards away in the Town Hall.

For accuracy , the term 'Two Fat Ladies' is no longer used as it is deemed politically incorrect by the Thought Police. It is now ' All The Eights' , and players respond with  'Wobble Wobble'.

Early Double Sets up Denbigh Win
 
Prestatyn Town Res 2 Denbigh Town Res 4 : Match Report.
 
Resurgent Denbigh Town Reserves set aside memories of consecutive defeats to grab much needed points at high flying Prestatyn Town Reserves in a six goal thriller , writes Peter Glynn at Bastion Road.
With the first team game called off , Manager Tony Sheridan was able to call on the services of five from the Cymru Alliance squad , and ultimately it was class in front of the goal that decided this encounter.
Town sped into a two nil lead after only five minutes on the clock. First it was Ian Evans on two minutes who latched onto Lee Mason's header from a Darren Cassidy corner - and the Denbigh hitman swept home in front of a gaping net. And on five minutes the visitors doubled their lead. Orme headed another Cassidy corner goalwards , and seeing the ball cleared off the line , was first to react and poked home in delight.
Prestatyn Town were rocked and were finding O'Mahoney and Cassidy on the flanks difficult to control as Denbigh scented a hatful.
Evans slammed a chance wide when well placed , then the same man was unlucky to see an overhead kick scrape the bar. Si Mackie banged one into keeper Rowley's breadbasket and O'Mahoney went on a marauding run that ended with his effort just off target.
The hosts dug deep and set about applying their own pressure , and after thirty minutes began to trouble the Denbigh back line. Justin Jones put in a superb challenge to deny Jeff Cody and then Denbigh's glovesman Chris Brown tipped over twice in a minute as the Bastion Road brigade sought a way back into the game.
Speed merchant Darren Nixon went on two surging runs into the heart of the Seasiders defence , but at the other end Mark Orme and Lee Mason had to work overtime to snuff out the threat of Prestatyn's Lucas Brookes , who was beginning to create havoc with his innate skill and pace.
The second stanza was a different kettle as Prestatyn came to the boil from the first kick and bombarded the Denbigh defence. Jamie Hobson and Tom Sheridan blocked off Prestatyn's Chris Roberts as he threatened to go all the way , then Carl Griffiths banged one over the bar and next Jeff Cody inched one wide - but on 55 minutes the hosts finally got their reward for excellent pressure when Lucas Brookes slammed home after superb build up play that had ripped Denbigh apart.
Manager Sheridan now shuffled his pack in order to turn the tide back in Denbigh's favour. He replaced Si Mackie with Brett Jones and shoved O'Mahoney up front to partner Ian Evans , and suddenly Town regained the initiative.
Darren Nixon and Brett Jones combined to set up a now rampaging O'Mahoney and the boy mountain shrugged off two before twanging one onto the crossbar. Next Ian Evans wriggled free but shot straight at Rowley , and then Cassidy's mazy dribble ended with the ball being hacked clear just as O'Mahoney looked set to pounce. It was a matter of time and on 67 minutes the visitors regained their two goal cushion when the busy Ian Evans waltzed around the keeper before laying it back to O'Mahoney and the youngster licked his lips before spanking home with relish.
It was now Denbigh's to chuck away , but man of the match Lee Mason was not giving an inch as the hosts threw the kitchen sink and more besides at the Central Park mob. Brown got down low to another Brookes effort , then Orme had to stretch out a limb to deny a clear cut chance as Prestatyn poured men forward in search of a life line.
Town began to pick off the hosts on the break and on 76 minutes Denbigh put the game to bed when Ian Evans tucked away his second of the game- a sweet dink ball from O'Mahoney found the goalmeister in space in front of goal. End of.
Prestatyn stuck at it , determinded as they were to go down fighting - and a deserved second gave the score a modicum of realism - again it was the impressive Lucas Brookes who came to the party , but his crisp finish was too little and much too late as the visitors had taken home the bacon. Good game.
 
Denbigh Town: Chris Brown , Justin Lee Jones (c) , Darren Nixon , Lee Mason , Mark Orme , Jamie Hobson , Darren Cassidy , Tom Sheridan , Ian Evans , Luke O'Mahoney , Simon Mackie. Subs : Kevin James , Brett Jones ( for Si Mackie) , Adam Owen , Jamie Clayton , Ben Stanway.
