Sat, 26 April 2008  Reserves Nap Nomads Denbigh Town Reserves bounced back from their 6-0 trouncing at the hands of Trefnant to record a well deserved 5-2 win over Rhyl Nomads , reports Peter Glynn at Central Park. Boasting four first team players , Denbigh were head and shoulders above a weakened Nomad outfit who began proceedings with nine players. And it only took three minutes before Sheridan's eleven took a lead , a firm planted header by Kevin Evans from a Luke O'Mahoney corner. but if Town thought it was all plain sailing they were in for a shock as on 16 minutes , after a spell of home pressure , the Nomads broke swiftly and Josh Bucknall skipped past the last defender and poked home past a stranded Chris Brown in the Denbigh net. It threatened to get a little tasty as first Lundstram saw yellow for off the ball activity , and then gloveman Brown needed first aid to a cut , but Denbigh settled back into a pattern and retook the lead in spectacular fashion. O'Mahoney and Dave Jones combined to test Nomad stopper Jason Ashbrooke and when the ball fell to Ben Stanway , the little right back curled a pure peach into the top right hand corner to record one of the goals of the season. Matt Toole had another effort saved by the impressive Ashbrooke and the same man did brilliantly to deny O'Mahoney and then Tom Sheridan saw his low drive bounce off a defender as Nomads defended in desperation. The second stanza matched the first , with Town doing all the pressing but with Nomads looking useful on the break. Toole basically settle the game as a contest on 50 minutes , when looking a yard offside slid home into and empty net after a quicksilver run by Lundstram. And then just after the hour , Lundstram helped himself to a goal after a glorious cross field ball from O'Mahoney presented him with acres of space. It was now how many would Denbigh score and they duly went nap on 80 minutes , again a superb ball , this time from the excellent Jamie Clayton who landed one at the feet of Gaz John Williams and the little winger slammed home in glee. But moments later Nomads recorded a consolation , with Dean Moss capitalising on a mistake , rounding the spreading Brown and stroking home. Good game. Final Score : Denbigh Town Reserves 5 v Rhyl Nomads 2 Denbigh Team: Chris Brown , James Hewitt , Jamie Clayton , Ben Stanway , Jonny Bowen (c) , Luke O'Mahoney , Tom Sheridan , Kevin Evans , Mike Lundstram , Matty Toole , Dave Jones.

Sat, 22 March 2008  Denbigh Derby Delight at Dyrny Denbigh Town swept to a convincing derby win at Llandyrnog United in an entertaining encounter , writes Peter Glynn at Cae Nant. 3-0 was a little tough on the home side who for periods put the visitors on the back foot. But ultimately goals decide games and two Mark Orme headers followed by a Matt Gatfield direct free kick saw Town deservedly grab the three points. The pitch was in excellent condition and despite blustery condition , both sides served up some excellent fare to warm spectators on a bitterly cold day. Local derbies can be spicy affairs and I am pleased to report that this game was played in the best corinthian spirit - hard but fair. The visitors began the quicker and it was on only three minutes that they stormed into a lead. Superb linkage between Luke O'Mahoney and Matt Gatfield forced a corner , from which Orme rose unchallenged to plant home , giving Dyer's men the perfect start. Back bounced Dyrny , and enterprising play from the restart almost forced an equaliser , when a great ball into the feet of Mark Roberts saw the hit man turn his man before firing across the face of goal. It was end to end and on 8 minutes O'Mahoney drifted past Roger Beech , before squaring a ball for the advancing Jamie Hobson. The full backs dink ball into the box was met by the head of Ian Evans who could only guide it into glovesman Ian Davies' breadbox. For Denbigh , the dogged Lucas Brookes almost got onto the end of a Kevin Evans ball , but at the other end Anthony Marshall and Neil Davies combined , the latter just running out of room with the visiting defence back pedalling. Next , villager Danny Roberts skinned his man before sending in a great ball to the head of compadre Mark Roberts , but the effort flashed wide with Jamie Hulse in full flight. Llan continued to press and Stuart Vernon forced another corner after some good work on the right , from which Anthony Marshall headed wide. Town were creating problems on breakaways and on 24 minutes O'Mahoney struck a free kick that was deflected away , but back at the other end Danny Roberts was creating mayhem for United with his energy and delivery , but found John Roberts in good form to keep out the lurking Neil Davies who looked set to pounce. On the half hour , Denbigh had a shout for hand ball when Gatfield put in a great ball into the box , and with Ian Evans screaming for a decision , United were happy just to hack the ball to safety. Dyer's men now upped the ante , forcing a number of corners without really getting onto the end of them - a feature of their game being the quality of delivery into the danger area. Then on the stroke of half time Town thought they had grabbed a vital second , direct from a free kick. After Ryan Harden had been crumpled under a challenge , Gatfield strode forward to unleash a curler that twanged the post , with Davies rooted. John James' men started the second stanza in the ascendancy , with Danny Roberts again prominent on the left flank. The old one-two with Neil Davies presented Roberts with a sniff in front of goal and , spotting Hulse a little out of position , lobbed over a sweetie which only just cleared the bar. United's Roger Beech had to be at his quickest to deny Kenny Burgess a run on goal , and at the other end Anthony Marshall spanked in a low effort that tested Hulse who did well to keep it out. Unfortunately for Dyrny , there wasn't enough of that and it came back to haunt them as Town grabbed that vital second on the hour. The Central Park brigade won a flag kick , which fell to Orme whose first time shot was blocked off for another corner. From this , the same man was again first to react , heading past a stranded and bellowing Davies as his defenders stood off. Lucas Brookes saw yellow for nonsense reasons , and then Marshall again tested Hulse with a deflected effort as the home side desperately sought a way back into the game. But Town were more than holding their own and Kenny Burgess , who ran his blood to water , got onto the end of a Mike Lundstram flick header , but saw his little lob just cleared the bar. As time ticked away , Dyer's men began to press the Cae Nant mob back and a free kick on the edge of the box on 89 minutes saw Denbigh grab their killer third. Gatfield had fancied his chances all afternoon , and his rising shot bulged the top right hand corner for the goal of the game , to settle any doubt as to the outcome of this absorbing encounter. Thanks to Mrs. Beech for her hospitality.

Tue, 18 March 2008 Denbigh Town exited the NWCFA Challenge Cup at the semi final stage , succumbing 4-3 to Flint Town United in a goal-fest at Llandudno , reports Peter Glynn. The Castlemen raced into a 2-0 lead but by the interval Denbigh had drawn level with efforts from Kenny Burgess and Kevin Evans. Flint lost their keeper to a red card but Denbigh were unable to take advantage of the subsequent penalty , when Jamie Hobson fired over. Despite being down to ten men , Flint dominated the second stanza , snatching a lead before Mike Lundstram grabbed a last gasp equaliser to force extra time. Flint carried on where they left off , nabbing a goal in the first period to earn a final spot.

Mon, 17 March 2008 The Gaffer Speaks! Denbigh Town supremo Tim Dyer searched for a word to describe Saturday's result against Glantraeth FC. And That word was 'Disappointment'.
"Disappointed." " Disappointed is the only word I can find for Saturday - we never forced the issue enough. I felt the game was there for the taking and it just needed everyone to lift the game a little and 3 points would have been ours. Yet again we have missed some good chances at a critical time in the match and then left ourselves under pressure late on in the game and then one mistake is punished and suddenly the game has gone. " Post match , Tim and his management team sat down with the players to discuss the performance and the result. " We had a long chat in the dressing room after the game about certain things and the players are under no illusions that the club expects more from them. Some players quite simply didn’t carry out basic instructions. They took it upon themselves to pay a different game than the one they had been picked to play and that is just not acceptable. " Manager Dyer refused to point the finger of blame on any one individual , citing a team performance as the reason for the 2-0 reverse. "Jamie Hulse made a mistake in goal and we were 1-0 down, whereas others made mistakes all afternoon - but people will remember the game and result because of Jamie’s mistake. Yes , we can say we were unlucky not to be in front as we hit the post and went close on a few occasions but at no level of football does any team take every chance they create and in my view we just didn’t create enough. " Thoughts turn to Tuesday's NWCFA Cup Semi Final against Flint Town , in Llandudno. " We (Dean, Steve and Myself) have a lot to think about before selecting a side to play Flint in the semi on Tuesday. Player availability is one issue , with Craig Goodwin unavailable due to work commitments, Lucas Brookes cup tied, and then we also have Tony Davies doubtful (ankle), Mark Orme doubtful (ankle), Chris O’Brien doubtful (knee) along with Paul Edwards and Adam Jones still sidelined. So tactically and personnel wise we have a lot to think about." Jonny Bowen and Matt Toole maybe added to the squad for Tuesday. Category: general -- posted at: 8:28 AM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||

Llansannan FC and Denbigh Town Reserves played out a 1-1 draw in the Clwyd League Premier Division, with Matt Toole on target for the visitors on 89 minutes , after Gareth Evans had put 'Sannan ahead on 10 minutes.
Llansannan And Denbigh Share The Spoils Denbigh Town grabbed a late draw at Llansannan , writes Peter Glynn. Llansannan have yet to record a win this term , but it looked as if the home side would earn their first three pointer of the season until right on full time Matt Toole cancelled out an earlier Gareth Evans strike. Sannan started out of the traps the quickest , forcing the pace and earning three corners in succession. From one , on the ten minute mark , Gareth Evans popped up at the near post to nod gleefully past experienced Town stopper Chris Brown , giving the home side the perfect start. The visitors hit back and began to dominate , with Darren Nixon and Brett Jones causing problems on the flanks , but in front of goal it looked to be one of those days , with Gaz John striking a post and Nixon unleashing an effort that had the crossbar all a-quiver. At the back , Jon Bowen and Justin Jones worked their socks off to snuff out what Llansannan had to offer , whilst at the other end Denbigh continued to carve out chances that were either dealt with by the home glovesman or wasted by the profligate Town forwards. The second stanza saw the game keep with the pattern , with the Central Parkers setting up camp in the home half , again failing to find the net despite some excellent opportunities. Justin Jones picked up two yellows which gave him the opportunity to take an early bath , then Ben Stanway twanged a post , but at the other end a rare foray saw Chris Brown at his best , deflecting a Gareth Evans effort away with his legs. Then right on the whistle Denbigh gained their reward. Gaz John spun away from his marker and unleashed a fizzer that the keeper could only parry as far as Toole and the Denbigh youngster slotted the rebound to grab a point. It was cruel luck on Llansannan who remain without a win , but Denbigh should have put this game to bed and , though putting in a good performance , now need to start hitting the net.

Sat, 15 March 2008 Islanders Claim The Points In Drab Encounter. Two goals in the last ten minutes gave Glantraeth the points at Denbigh Town in a drab encounter , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park. Richard Owen swung one straight in from a corner to break the deadlock on 85 minutes and almost on the final whistle , man of the match Paul Rowlands fired home from just inside the box to kill the game. True is it that we have seen better days , yet some of the build up play by both sides was noteworthy , though both glovesmen were in the main rarely troubled by what was before them. To describe the first stanza , this is the short and the long of it ; there was one moment only of note , when a passage of play brought the crowd to its feet , just failing as it did to break the deadlock. The little magician Ryan Harden released Lucas Brookes on the right flank. He played a touch to the returning Kenny Burgess in the Glan box , but rather than take a pot at goal , the same man set up Kevin Evans who in turned eyed an incoming Matt Gatfield. The ball fell to the full back perfectly , inviting the curler from the acutest of angles , which agonisingly pinged away off the far post to safety. Craig Goodwin , a man more sinned against than sinning , saw yellow for some intemperate words , but it was a game now being played in the best of spirits with quarter neither asked nor given. At the other end , the Anglesey outfit had two Richard Owen flag kicks which caused alarums in the Town box , with big Tony Davies putting body on the line to prevent clear cut opportunities emerging. The second forty five minutes saw the visitors in the ascendancy , with Town grateful to running man Jamie Hobson for tracking back in order to head a Robert Williams effort off the line. On the hour , Glan's Chris Saxon fired over when well placed whilst at the other end most Denbigh attacks were frustratingly flagged for offside. Dyer threw on Ian Evans and Luke O'Mahoney and the swap almost brought a dividend. Evans was neatly played in by Burgess but the ball refused to sit up and the moment was gone. A minute later Evans tried his luck from 25 yards with a stinging effort which could only be parried by stand in glovesman Gerallt Jones. The ball fell towards Lucas Brookes , who saw his poke inch wide of the left stick under pressure from Llion Davies. Next Burgess found Harden in the middle of the midden , and a willing Hobson swung one over which eventually fell to O'Mahoney who slammed it an inch over. However , Glantraeth looked favourites as they were getting most of the possession and were firing off shots , mostly wayward , when in sight of the nets. The Central Park mob continued to break out and Burgess again curled over a beauty which fell to O'Mahoney on the edge of the box. The boy mountain lobbed a delicious ball back into the mix which was bravely headed behind by a back pedalling Tilbury. But that was now the end of Denbigh as a goal threat and Glantraeth's pressure began to take its toll. A dubious corner was curled over by the impressive Richard Owen and the midfielder was in rapture to see his inswinger creep in at the near post. Having nothing, nothing can he lose and manager Dyer threw his men forward in desperate search of a leveller. But it was skill merchant Paul Rowlands who settled matters by volleying home from the edge of the box on 89 minutes to guarantee that the three points went back to the Island. Thanks to The Hand Inn for after match hospitality.

Thu, 13 March 2008 Denbigh Town will probably be without captain and inspiration Mark Orme following an injury that forced him off the field in Wednesday's match at Holyhead Hotspur. Tony Davies wasn't able to take his place on Wednesday due to a leg injury , so John Roberts slotted into the centre half role. Tony will undergo a fitness test on Saturday.
Mark (above) described his situation: " I went up for a header and as I landed the other lad's weight all went onto my ankle. Luckily I haven`t broke anything but I've got alot of bruising and swelling in the area." Mark was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd for an X-Ray during the game.

Thu, 13 March 2008 12 March 2008: A Marc 'Loggsy' Evans treble and a Mike Edwards goal sank Denbigh Town in this Cymru Alliance fixture. And own goal from Lee Dixon and Lucas Brookes' first Town goal since his arrival had made it 2-2 at half time.
Holyhead finally sank Denbigh Town in a blustery game on the Island in what was an absorbing encounter , writes Peter Glynn. The visitors played the first stanza with the wind and took a deserved lead , courtesy of an own goal from Lee Dixon. It came from a brilliant ball into the box from Luke O'Mahoney which the defender was helpless to stop and could only turn the ball into his own net. From that foundation , Denbigh continuted to carved out a few chances but defensively were causing their own problems , from which the Hotspur leveller came. Dependable Jamie Hulse caught a high ball from a flag kick but was unable to hold onto it when hitting terra firma , and Marc Evans swept home. Town continued to press but from a free kick five yards into the Holyhead half , a quick breakaway resulted in Evans grabbing his second , a lovely counter attack which was finished with aplomb by the goal hungry forward. Yet the visitors refused to lie down and after clearing their own back line down the right , won a throw in which eventually fell to Lucas Brookes. The youngster allowed the ball to run on before firing sweetly into the bottom corner to give Town parity and to claim his first Cymru Alliance goal in Denbigh colours. The Hots came out after the interval and took the game by its proverbials , pinning back Dyer's men for long periods. Denbigh were struggling to put any quality into the box , whilst at the other end Hulse made two world class saves to deny the now rampant Island side. But it was ultimately another error that edged the home team into a lead. Hulse collected a high hanging ball from a corner but was in agony to see his quick throw taken by the wind , presenting Evans with the easiest of chances , and the goal machine was in rapture when slipping the ball into an empty net. At 3-2 down Denbigh were now chasing the game and it was whilst throwing the kitchen sink at the Portsmen that the home side sealed the game through Mike Edwards on the stroke of full time. Full time: Holyhead Hotspurs 4 Denbigh Town 2 Denbigh now face Glantraeth in another Cymru Alliance match up , at home on Saturday. Denbigh supremo is hoping that Tony Davies , who missed last night's game - and Mark Orme who was taken to Bangor Hospital with a leg injury - will be fit to play.

Mon, 10 March 2008 Denbigh Town Reserves midfield 'guv'nor' , the experienced Chris Hughes , has been appointed first team coach at Welsh Premier outfit Caersws FC.
The Guv'nor. Whilst sad to lose Chris , we hope that he has a successful time at the mid Wales club , for whom Denbigh's own Jonny Slater is currently playing following his transfer in January from Llandyrnog United. Chris' duties as First Team Coach will involve training the players , general coaching , taking the warm up , working on tactics and supporting the manager . This will all go towards his Licence Assessment which will be completed next year. CH cites his goal in the win over Llandyrnog United Reserves as his best moment in a DTFC Reserves shirt. His worst? The 7-2 drubbing at Pen Phoenix. Hughesy joined Denbigh Town in the 2007-08 season as a midfield general and / or forward. Off the field , Chris is a Sports Development Officer in Wrexham. Highly experienced , his former clubs include Mold Alex , Gresford Athletic , Rhyl FC and Buckley Town. His honours are legion , and include Welsh National Premier Winners Medal 2000-01 , Cymru Alliance Runners Up 02-03 , North East Wales Winners Medal 02-03 and Cymru Alliance League Cup Runners Up 02-03. Born on 12th September 1979 , Chris will be an asset to Caersws and we wish him well. Category: general -- posted at: 7:46 AM Comments[4] | |||||||||||||||
Mon, 10 March 2008 Dyer Delight At Denbigh Dominance. Manager Tim Dyer , who attended the match on crutches following his accident on the ski slopes last week , was delighted to see his side dominate for the majority of the game. " It was a good performance all round on Saturday , and I thought we started well and were the better side from start to finish , bar a 10 min spell in the second half. Playing into the wind first half we kept the ball down and found feet when ever possible and made several good openings." The Town supremo made of few positional and personnel changes , which seemed to pay off. "John Roberts was deployed in midfield to allow Ryan (Harden) to play further forward with John protecting the back four. Both players did really well I thought in their respective roles." Left back has been a problem over a number of weeks so Dyer was pleased to see the returning Matt Gatfield play the full 90 minutes. " Gatty solved our problem position at left back with an excellent display. I felt if we got one goal we'd get two or three and that proved to be the case. Both front men for Guilsfield were a threat and our back four needed to be one their toes to keep them under wraps. " Goals win games and the quality of the strikes had the Denbigh boss purring. "I was pleased with all three goals I think if anyone deserved a goal in the squad if was Darren (Cassidy). He's done really well for the last couple of months for us. Also Ryan has had to wait a long time for his goal but it was a great finish. I thought Craig (Goodwin) took his really well also." Looking forward to the midweek fixture at Holyhead , Dyer reports the return of two players whilst there may be a doubt over one. " Holyhead will be really tough Wednesday. Tony Davies is struggling with a bad ankle injury, but Kevin Evans and Chris O'Brien will be back in the squad. Steve Jones is on the beer in Cheltenham also but who cares." Probably the linesman.

Sat, 8 March 2008 Denbigh Town Record Double Over Guilsfield. Denbigh bounced back from back to back defeats to record the double over Guilsfield at a windswept Central Park , reports Peter Glynn. Two second stanza goals from Darren Cassidy and Ryan Harden seemingly had Town in control , but a Rob Fox effort on 66 minutes brought the visitors back into it , before sub Craig Goodwin executed a great little finish to seal maximum points for Dyer's men. The first half conditions were atrocious with driving wind and rain making life difficult for both sets of players. Twas the hosts who started quickest and the first opportunity knocked on the 10 minute mark. Good work on the right from Cassidy presented Lucas Brookes with a shot on goal , which stopper Dave Littleford could only parry , with Ian Evans unlucky to see his follow up deflected wide. Cassidy was on fire and did well again a minute later , feeding the eager Brookes whose first time shot was only blocked as far as John Roberts who fired just past the far post. Next a rampant O'Mahoney found the ball at feet eight yards out , but his curler was just off target with Littleford nowhere. Guilsfield looked neat and tidy on the ball , and broke well on 17 minutes with Rob Cookson dribbling his way into the box , unleashing a fizzbang which Ryan Harden bravely got in the way of. The Gulls Tim Nunnerly has skill to burn and the midfielder had a great run on 20 minutes , jinking past two before shooting straight at Hulse. The same man again went close two minutes later when cutting inside and releasing a low effort that Hulse this time had to tip behind at full length. It was developing into a cracking encounter , with both sides now going for the jugular. On 28 minutes Dyer's dynamoes again came close , when run-a-holic Jamie Hobson fed Brookes , whose endeavour set up Roberts , who was unlucky to see his snap shot skid wide of the far post. Guilsfield upped the tempo , forcing three corners in quick succession , with oneheader hacked behind and another dangerous centre palmed away to safety by the on form Hulse. At the other end Ian Evans played a one two with Hobson , releasing O'Mahoney whose inswinger landed on Brookes' head but the little man was unfortunate to see his effiort inch just off target with Littleford scrambling. On 37 minutes an exciting passage of play came from the visitors ended when Nathan Leonard swung in a lovely ball towards the head on Nunnerly and the experienced midfielder sent in a diving header just over the bar. Another visitors corner on the stroke of half time almost brought the opener , and Hulse and co. breathed a sigh of relief as the ball ballooned off the crossbar to safety. The Vale side began to press early in the second half , when first John Roberts thumped the ball into big Dave Littleford's midriff and then a scintillating Cassidy run saw the speedster beat three before firing one straight at the visiting gloves-person. A goal had to come and it was the destructive combo of Roberts and Cassidy that brought the home side a precious lead. Roberts won a ball bravely in the centre of the pitch , and found a galloping Cassidy to his right , who licked his man before clinically firing beyond Littleford for a deserved opener. Cassidy deserved his goal for a superb overall performance. Back bounced the never say die Gulls and a Cookson swerver from a free kick saw Hulse at his best , the stopper superbly tipping the effort round the post. Town were now were playing lovely stuff and O'Mahoney did well on the left , finding worker bee Ian Evans in the box. His effort fell eventually to Ryan Harden and the little magician curler a beauty into the corner to give the Central Park mob some breathing space. Dyer urged his men on and Brookes was desperately unlucky to see a low drive superbly tipped away by Littleford when that killer third looked likely. Next Roberts slammed one goalwards , but the Gulls keeper pulled off another good save to keep his side in with a sniff. Then Ian Evans poked one just past a post on 66 minutes but a minute later the Gulls suddenly grabbed a life line. Superb play from Nunnerly and Cookson cut through the Town defence like a knife through butter and the ball into the box was met by full back Rob Fox who swept home at the far post. Guilsfield now sensed an unlikely point and a miskick in front of the sticks moments later should have earned the visitors parity , with the Town back line screaming for an offside flag. Then more Nunnerly trickery tested Hulse as the mid Wales outfit began to dominate. Denbigh began to weather the storm and showed some composure in order to exploit the gaps as Guilsfield now threw everything at Denbigh , and one such breakout settled the contest. Excellent speed from Mike Lundstram released Harden who dinked the ball to the feet of Craig Goodwin. The cool substitute took a look before placing the ball beyond Littleford to kill the game and earn maximum points. Thanks to The Hand Inn , Denbigh for post match hospitality.

Wed, 5 March 2008 Denbigh Blown Off Course Disappointing Denbigh Town slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Llandudno Town in a windswept encounter , writes Peter Glynn at the Maesdu Ground. It was game dominated by a howling gale , which saw little in the way of quality from either side and on the share of play , Tudno were probably just about worthy of their win , though with more care in front of the net , Denbigh would have got something out of this fixture. The Builder Street brigade had the ferocious wind at their backs in the first stanza and were immediately applying the pressure to the Denbigh back line. Saturday's hero , Jamie Hulse , was at it again in the first ten minutes , pulling off two acrobatic saves - first denying Bryn Jenkins who rasped one in from the edge of the box , and then palming a Lee Thomas header round the post. It may have seemed all Llandudno , yet on the 15 minute mark the visitors should have snatched a lead. Luke O'Mahoney was played in beautifully by an effervescent Lucas Brookes , but the boy mountain took a touch too many when one on one with Llan keeper , Sean Pearson who dived in bravely where angels fear to tread. The game was becoming littered with fouls as both sides found it increasingly difficult to cope with the conditions , but on 35 minutes the Builder Street side managed to grab a lead , albeit from an error. Pressure was applied to the Denbigh defence over a period of play which ended with a weak back header to Hulse , presenting Lee Thomas with the ball in front of the sticks and the goal grabber sniffed it home with glee. It was a cruel blow as Dyer's men had looked to be weathering the storm and had prevented the hosts from really threatening. Denbigh bounced back and a sublime piece of play from Brookes again released O'Mahoney with a one on one , but big stopper Pearson did well to divert the effort for a flag kick. From the short corner little magician Ryan Harden conjured up a piece of skill and was in agony to see his curler hacked off the line as a leveller looked likely. The second half saw Denbigh looking to use the elements in their favour and on 50 minutes had their third opportunity of the match when Mike Lundstram got onto a lovely dinked ball from Kevin Evans , but with the ball bobbling , the fleet footed wide man couldn't get his shot off early enough and the chance went a-begging. The best passage of play occurred on the hour mark when Ryan Harden won the ball in the middle of the park , feeding one to Jamie Hobson. The ball broke to Kevin Evans and the midfielder strode forward and got his head over the ball and sent in a crackerjack which was turned away superbly by Pearson. But the ball was just not running for an increasingly frustrated Denbigh outfit and Tony Davies saw yellow for a challenge and Lundstram received a talking too for some afters. Back to the football itself and Tudno should have sealed it when the impressive Chris Hogg fed Lee Thomas again , but his effort flashed wide. It looked as if one would be enough to snaffle the points but an 85th minute breakaway saw the hosts grab the killer second , again courtesy of a Denbigh boob. Jody Hamilton latched onto a weak pass back , saw his first effort finely saved by Hulse but was alert enough to bury the rebound to give the Maesdu a cushion and ultimately the three points. Man of the Match: Denbigh Town - Kevin Evans Llandudno Town : Sean Pearson , Ben Dews , Chris Johnson , Gwyn Williams (c), Neil Coverley , Joe Morgan , Darren Jones , Gwyn Peters , Lee Thomas , Bryn Jenkins , Chris Hogg.

Sun, 2 March 2008 Villagers Repel Town Invasion ONE hit wonders Trefnant Village progressed into the 3rd Round of the Clwyd League Premier Cup courtesy of a Graham Owen strike on 75 minutes , writes Peter Glynn. From a Denbigh point of view , the game matched last week's Central Park encounter with Flint Town United Reserves - excellent effort and build up , but no end product. Though the visitors will point to a Sean Williams effort ruled out by the match official who had spotted Matt Toole in an offside position. As for the Village , they were looking to put a heavy defeat against Aston Park behind them , and will be satisfied to have blanked their local rivals. With bragging rights as well as a 3rd round date up for grabs , it was at times a spicy affair but was ultimately a game played in the best spirits with 110 percent effort and no quarter asked , nor given , with firm handshakes on the final peep. Village's Craig Morris and James Drury were excellent throughout the game , but Town had the pick of the first stanza chances , with Tom Sheridan just failing to connect from a corner when two yards out , and Trefnant keeper Gareth Jones agilely tipping over a Matt Toole effort from four yards out.    Craig Morris , Graham Owen , Andy Skeoch Andy Skeoch , on debut in the Town goal , was inactive for long periods , but what he had to do was undertaken with competence , tested as he was at times by James Drury and Simon Jones. If Denbigh edged the first 45 , Trefnant possibly bossed the second half , with David Davies and James Kovall impressing , the latter almost getting on the score sheet only to be denied by a brave Skeoch save at a one on one opportunity.  From the left: Justin , Jamie , Kev , Simon , James , Russell and Tom The Trefnant pressure began to tell , with Denbigh losing their shape in the last twenty minutes and it looked as if one goal would settle it. And that goal came on 75 minutes when a shot from Kevin James from five yards looped up from Skeoch's legs and was beautifully volleyed home by Graham Owen from ten yards , with the Denbigh back line looking for an offside decision from the initial effort. Both Trefnant and Denbigh looked competent going forward , with Brett Jones and Darren Nixon making a number of telling runs , supported ably by Justin Jones and Ben Stanway. The centre back combo of Jamie Clayton and Jonny Bowen were generally dealing with whatever the hosts could dish up, and James Hewitt had a good full debut at full back. Tom Sheridan put in his usually battling performance. For the hosts , Danny Porter had a good game , whilst Craig Morris and Russell Vaughan worked hard for their team , linking well with Gareth O'Loughlin and a busy Simon Jones. Man of the Match : Russell Vaughan - Overall performance and involvement. Thanks to the Deja Vu for after match hospitality. Trefanant Village : Gareth Jones , Danny Porter, Graham Owen , Craig Morris, Russell Vaughan, James Kovall, Gareth O'Loughlin, Kevin James, David Davies, James Drury, Simon Jones. Denbigh Town Reserves : Andy Skeoch , Justin Jones, James Hewitt , Jamie Clayton , Jonny Bowen , Brett Jones , Darren Nixon , Tom Sheridan , Ben Stanway , Matt Toole , Sean Williams : Subs : Simon Mackie , Adam Owen , Mark Grief , Gareth Hughes , Chris Brown.

Sat, 1 March 2008 Hulse Heroics But Denbigh Fall To Seasiders PRESTATYN Town finally overcame a stubborn Denbigh outfit at a blustery Central Park , writes Peter Glynn. Full back Andy Davies notched his first goal of the season for the visitors on 18 minutes with a firm header , but the Seasiders had to wait until the 80th minute to secure the points when Steve Harris converted a Danny Evans cross with a diving header. In between , Denbigh squandered a penalty when Craig Goodwin fired at big stopper Jon Dunt , whilst Lucas Brookes and Kevin Evans both had opportunities to register. After back to back wins , Dyer's mob knew they had to start quickly against the league leaders , but it was the Bastion Road outfit that were quickly out of the blocks , with goal worrier Steve Bowes and former Denbigh man Jon Fisher-Cook causing problems with their movement and vision. Jamie Hulse had to be at his very best after only 3 minutes when David Hayes planted a header towards the top corner which left the home keeper at full stretch to scramble the ball away. Steve Hoult went down a little too easily in the box for Referee Trigg's liking , receiving a yellow for his theatricals , but then on 10 minutes Steve Harris combined superbly with Fisher Cooke to present a headed opportunity for Ross Hannan , which the energetic Hulse had to tip over , again at full stretch. Lucas Brookes and Ian Evans looked lively up front and the latter latched onto a Jamie Hobson needle threader , but fired straight at big Jon Dunt in the Seasiders goal. The visitors continued to look dangerous and on 18 minutes took a deserved lead when , after a passage of play , Steve Bowes picked out Andy Davies at the far post and his header gave Hulse no chance. Next Steve Harris was denied when Hulse came out bravely to block his shot. At the other end , a rare Denbigh forage saw Tony Davies head over but it was all eyes on Hulse as more heroics from the Denbigh glovesman again denied Harris , who had been superbly found by the impressive Bowes. Denbigh started to settle and on 25 minutes Tony Davies again appeared in the visitors box , heading just wide from a Luke O'Mahoney cross. Next Jamie Hobson found an eager Ian Evans on the left , who turned on a sixpence and fed brother Kevin , but Dunt was quick off his line to block away his firm strike. Opportunity knocked for Brookes on 34 minutes , but the little man fired just over when released by Kevin Evans. But it was Denbigh's man of the moment Hulse who was again called into action on 37 minutes , tipping away a firm Russ Hughes shot to keep it down to 1-0 at the interval. Fisher Cooke got his noggin onto the end of a Steve Harris ball early in the second stanza , but the firm header flashed wide as Prestatyn again started well , but gradually the Central Park brigade were beginning to stamp some of their own quality on proceedings. Cool Chris O'Brien linked up with Hobson and his ball into the area was blocked off by Hayes with Brookes about to pull the trigger. Pressure began to mount on the visitors , and after ping pong in the Prestatyn area , Referee Trigg pointed to the spot for an alleged trip with the visitors defenders in apoplexy at the decision. Craig Goodwin stepped forward , but his half hit effort was well saved by Dunt in what was fast becoming the battle of the keepers. The Denbighites kept at it and Brookes spanked an effort wide , then Ian Evans fed Kevin Evans , the ball eventually falling to Ryan Harden on the edge of the box , but his curler was just wide of the left post. Next Harden released O'Mahoney who burst past his marker and played one to busy Brookes at the near post , but Dunt was again brave to snaffle the ball at the youngster's feet. Goodwin tried to make amends on 20 minutes and sent a whizzbang just over the bar from the edge of the box. Yet at the other end , Bowes and Fisher Cooke both had chances to wrap up the points , but again found the Denbigh glove jockey in outstanding form. However , with the home side throwing everything in an attempt to salvage a point , the game was put to bed on the 80 minute mark and to be fair it was a quality strike worthy of the runaway leaders of the Cymru Alliance. Super sub Danny Evans received a ball to his feet on the left wing. The speed merchant looked up and spotted Steve Harris racing into the box , and the midfielder met the ball with a great flying header that had supporters from both sides applauding. End of.

Fri, 29 February 2008 Denbigh Town will be looking to make it three on the bounce when they entertain league leaders Prestatyn Town at Central Park , kick off 2-30pm. It will be a big ask , as the visitors are runaway leaders of the Cymru Alliance and look flying certs at this stage to gain automatic promotion to the Welsh Premier.
One man missing from the Denbigh side will be Kenny Burgess (above) . The quiet man has come off the bench to score vital goals in the last two games , so he will be a big miss for Dyer's mob. The Seasiders are also missing a key player , with Neil Gibson banned. Striker Lucas Brookes will be facing his former club , whilst PTFC key man Jon Fisher Cooke returns to his former club. The game at Bastion Road back in September resulted in a 6-1 win for Prestatyn , with Paul Edwards on the scoresheet for Denbigh.

Wed, 27 February 2008 Back to Back Wins Boost Denbigh Determined Denbigh recorded back to back away wins , following up a great win at Guilsfield with a 2-0 defeat of improving Buckley Town , reports Peter Glynn at Globe Way. A goal in each half earned Tim Dyer's men maximum points , but they were pushed all the way by a solid Bucks outfit who , with more care in front of the sticks , may have claimed a share of the spoils. The first fifteen saw Denbigh settle into a decent rhythm , sussing out the home side capability and seeking to spring quickly from defence into attack. Lucas Brookes was making a nuisance of himself and the youngster got onto the end of an Ian Evans chest down but was unfortunate to see his effort slam wide. At the other end , Denbigh stopper Jamie Hulse was called upon to bravely block off a Simon Holloway effort , but then on 19 minutes the visitors grabbed a lead , with a goal worthy of winning any game. Ian Evans picked up the ball 33 yards out , and his low centre of gravity took him past one , past another and he finished clinically into the left hand corner to edge his side ahead.  Evans: Clinical Back bounced Buckley , and some Miles Todd trickery released Matt Roberts whose ball into the six yard box was hit over by Holloway. But Denbigh were looking the most likely and Mark Orme went close from a corner , and another Town corner fell to big Tony Davies who nodded wide. Jamie Hobson curled in an effort that inched wide and Lucas Brooks had another effort which was hacked off the line. Next Luke O'Mahoney fed another to Brookes who lobbed just over. Ian Evans carved out two other opportunities , one headed over his own bar by Todd and another that just failed to find the target. But Buckley were still at it , and Holloway nearly made Denbigh pay when springing the offside trap , but his effort just bobbled over. It was good stuff being dished up by both teams and it was the home side who upped their game in the second stanza , with Matt Roberts dominating proceedings with some superb crosses into the Denbigh box , and the home side will feel themselves unfortunate not to register during their purple patch. Dyer's dynamoes clung on by virtue of brave defending from Orme and Davies , together with controlled midfield energy from Chris O'Brien and slowly began to regain the initiative , thanks in the main to Kevin Evans who was now stamping his class on proceedings. The midfielder began to weave some magic in the centre of the park , going past people and laying the ball on to the hungry Brookes and sibling Ian , and suddenly the Bucks were on the back foot. Dyer threw on Kenny Burgess and Mike Lundstram to kill off the game as the Globalists were still menacing near to the Hulse goal , but at the other end Davies missed the target with a free header from a corner , then Ian Evans failed to convert after more superb Kevin Evans magic , and a ball to feet from the marauding Lundstram. A killer goal had to come and it was that man Evans , the Kevin variety , who unlocked the Buckley back line , gliding past three before releasing Lundstram. The fleet winger skipped past his marker , fed a near post ball to Burgess who bulged the net to give Denbigh some breathing space on 80 minutes. Buckley were now finished as a goal threat , and the Central Park brigade should have converted two other opportunities as the clock began to wind down. Daz Cassidy fired one wide after a scintillating run , Craig Goodwin joined with Lundstram but saw his effort deflected over and O'Mahoney lifter one high after enterprising skill from O'Brien. Manager Dyer will be pleased with the effort , and will now be looking forward to entertaining Prestatyn this Saturday , kick off 2-30 pm. Denbigh Town : Jamie Hulse , Craig Goodwin , John Roberts , Mark Orme (c) , Tony Davies , Chris O'Brien , Kevin Evans , Luke O'Mahoney , Jamie Hobson , Ian Evans , Lucas Brookes. Subs : Ken Burgess , Daz Cassidy , Ryan Harden , Mike Lundstram , Steve Jones. Man of the Match : Kevin Evans. Category: match reports -- posted at: 5:59 PM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||

Mon, 25 February 2008 Manager Dyer Speaks EXCLUSIVELY! (one joking) Denbigh Manager Tim Dyer was satisfied with the result against Guilsfield and in particular with the work ethic put in by his troops.
" I was very please with result on Saturday , I think we worked really hard for it and we had to , as Guilsfield put us under a lot of pressure in the middle third of the game either side of half time. They were the better team during that period but we defended well and the difference on the day was when we got on top we took our chances, unlike last week. " The Town supremo rang some changes in the starting XI. " We made some changes on Saturday and in general I felt they came off with a positive effect, Chris O’Brien and Kevin Evans were dominant early on in the centre of the park. Lucas was lively up front with Ian and John Roberts solid at the back. " " We were disappointed with how we allowed them back into the game that we’d dominated , until we conceded the penalty that came from our own corner. We have set routines for corners and for some reason we did something we don’t normally do with personnel that are not normally involved in the routines , and it all went wrong for us and could have cost us the game. " It didn't as Town ran out 3-1 winners , though just after half time , the Guils were more up for it. " Overall though I think we deserved the 3 points even though they will feel they could have got in front as they had the better of the start of the second half with the scores at 1-1. But once we had regained the upper hand we never looked back. All 3 substitutes Ryan (Harden) , Darren (Cassidy) and Kenny (Burgess) came on and made vital contributions to the result. "
Looking forward to the midweek fixture at Buckley , Tim has a strong squad to choose from. " We’ll travel to Buckley with the same 16 man Squad as on Saturday , with all 3 subs staking a claim for a starting place. The only doubt is Tony Davies came off Saturday with a bit of a strain to his thigh. Matty Gatfield may be added to the squad if he is home from University. "

Sun, 24 February 2008 Travelling Town Take The Points The Truth is Out There: Kenny Burgess (14) scores Denbigh's third goal. Bounce-back-ability is a quality Dyer's merry men needed to show in a tricky encounter with giant slayers Guilsfield , write Peter Glynn and Robert Griffiths at The Community Centre Ground. The home side have claimed some top team scalps during an impressive Welsh Cup run , but came up against a determined and hard working Denbigh XI and it was the visitors who ultimately came away with the bacon , leap frogging Guilsfield in the league standings. After last week's home defeat to Flint , the Denbigh supremo ordered a quicker start , and from the off Town were at it like knives , and were duly rewarded on 8 minutes by taking a precious lead. Jamie Hobson , the midfield dynamo who was running his blood to water , controlled a ball before putting through Ian Evans and the worker bee scored from close range to give Denbigh a perfect start. The Guils were on the back foot , and Lucas Brookes pinged one off a post and then had another effort flash across the box as the Vale side went for the jugular. Brookes speed was causing panic in the home defence and another run played in Kevin Evans who inched one wide of the post. Just as chickens were being counted , a mix up from a Town flag kick resulted in the home side getting back into it. A speedy breakaway saw Neil Price race into the Town box and a wayward John Roberts foot brought him crashing to terra firma , with Graham McGill coolly slotting home the resultant penalty. Denbigh's impressive central defender Tony Davies was carried off on the half hour and suddenly it was Guilsfield who looked the more likely. Their strings were being pulled by ex TNS legend Tim Nunnerly , and his experience showed as the home side began to dominate and but for a desperate last ditch Luke O'Mahoney tackle on 44 minutes , would have edged into the lead. Guilsfield continued to press early doors in the second stanza and Hulse was called to arms to block off a stinging Matt Newton effort and two minutes later was relieved to see the same man head wide when well placed. Mark Orme , Denbigh's man of the match , was now marshalling his defence and that proved to be the Guils final threat as suddenly Town put their foot back on the gas and began to tear into the home defence. Mention must also be made of Craig Goodwin , who was excellent in his tackling and distribution. Tim Dyer dipped into his bag of goodies and pulled out the little magician Ryan Harden on 65 minutes and it paid off as the visitors regained the lead on 70 minutes. Harden and Hobson combined to conjure up a scrimmage in a now panicky Guils box , with the referee stepping in to signal a spot kick for 'hands' , from which Hobson gleefully blasted home. Dyer now threw on Kenny Burgess and he applied the links effect , laying the ball onto Kevin Evans who looped one over the home stopper , big Dave Littleford. Evans shrugged philosophically as the ball twanged wood but it was a superb piece of judgement from the Denbigh man which deserved a goal. However , it was mere respite for a now beleaguered mid Wales outfit and 'twas that man Burgess who put the game to bed on 79 minutes. Good work from Darren Cassidy released Chris O'Brien. The new man sought out Burgess at the far post and he met the ball sweetly to volley home from 15 yards to seal maximum points. Denbigh Town : Hulse , Goodwin , Roberts , Davies , Orme , Hobson , O'Brien , Evans (K) , O'Mahoney , Evans (I) , Brookes. Subs : Burgess , Cassidy , Harden , Jones (S) , Lundstram. Man of the Match : Mark Orme (awesome defending from the Denbigh captain.) Category: match reports -- posted at: 8:46 AM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||
Sun, 24 February 2008 Simpson Saves Sets Up Flint Win Denbigh Town Reserves slipped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Flint Town Reserves , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park. Flint have Ryan Simpson to thank , the big stopper pulling off three tremendous saves to deny the home side , whilst at the other end , two quick fire goals just after the break from Paul Hughes and Ian Wynne gave the Castlemen the three points. glovesman Chris Brown was in the action early doors as Flint played a long ball over the top for Phill Lloyd , but a combination of Jonny Bowen and the Denbigh keeper prevented an early strike at the expense of a corner. Flint employed a long game but found the impressive Jamie Clayton in imperious mood , clearing the danger on two occasions with towering headers. From one the ball fell to Chris Hughes and the 'guv'nor' jinked one out wide to Gaz John who licked his defender before sending in a dangerous cross with Simon Mackie just failing to add the final touch. Kev Thomas and Chris Hughes exchanged pleasantries which required a talking to from Referee Griffiths , and from the free kick , Phill Lloyd blasted over. Both sides like to play a passing game and this helped the flow as both teams began to settle into a rhythm , though without really creating , but on the half hour the ball broke to big Tom Sheridan and the youngster unleashed one that was dramatically turned over by Simpson. Matt Toole dinked in a sweet ball to Mackie and as the ball came out , Gaz John tried his luck from 25 yards but again Simpson got a hand to tip it over. The stalemate was broken after the break when a corner from Ian Wynne found Paul Hughes in the six yard box , and he capitalised on a moments hesitation in the Denbigh defence to nod past a stranded Chris Brown. Now it was all Flint , and another had to come and it was a cracker when it arrived. Lovely play out on the right presented Ian Wynne with a shooting opportunity just inside the box and it fair slammed into the net to give the Cae Castell brigade a cushion. Denbigh were not finished and Brett Jones did excellent work on the right and his ball found Mackie who inched one wide. Darren Nixon probed forward and his ball into the six yard area was hacked clear with Toole steaming in. Then a Ben Stanway cross bamboozled everyone when a simple touch would have registered. Manager Tony Sheridan threw on Sean Williams and James Hewitt and both did well in combination to release Brett Jones , but his effort inched wide. At the other end Phill Lloyd thought he had scored but was in wonderment to see his first time effort not only clear the post with the goal gaping , but also Chris Brown at full length. Another Tom Sheridan effort was spooned away by Simpson for the save of the game , and then Brett Jones was flattened by a challenge after a 50-50 ball. Next a superb Ben Eccleson ball landed on the head of predator Phill Lloyd but could only guide it into Brown's breadbasket. It proved the last talking point of an absorbing encounter , and Manager Sheridan will be pleased with the effort and commitment from his young charges.

Denbigh Town Reserves play their first home fixture of the year when they take on Flint Town United Reserves at Central Park on Saturday , kick off 2pm. Flint are a dangerous prospect and their previous game saw them defeat Abergele Rovers away from home by 4-2. But Denbigh will be confident by virtue of their own record in front of goal - 10 in the last three games. Manager Tony Sheridan has almost a full squad from which to pick - only Marc Grief is absent , nursing a broken toe. James Hewitt is added to the squad. Flint will be looking for Lee Molyneux to continue his scoring form - the Cae Castell hitman has registered 13 goals in the league this term thus far. There will be a canteen run on Saturday so hot & cold drinks and some cold snacks will be available. Last week's game at Penmaenmawr Phoenix is reported in this week's Denbighshire Free Press , with the full report online via the www.denbighshirefreepress.co.uk Denbigh Town Reserves (from) CE Brown , A. Owen , B. Stanway , J.Jones , B.Jones , T. Sheridan , J. Clayton , J. Bowen , D. Nixon , C. Hughes , GJ Williams , S. Mackie , M. Toole , S.Williams , GW Hughes, A. Skeoch , J.Hewitt. Flint Town United : Possibly from : Kevin Thomas (Captain) , Ryan Simpson , Matt Howard , Jamie Adams , Steve Alcock , Lee Molyneux , Phil Lloyd , Liam Ashbrook , Paul Hughes , Craig Jones , Jay Davies , Mike Howie , Scott Hewitt , Adam Renshaw.

Tue, 19 February 2008 Manager Tim Dyer gives his reaction to Saturday's result against Flint T.U. and looks forward to the away day match up at Guilsfield. " I was disappointed with Saturday - I think expectations were high after couple of big wins in the cup games , but to be fair , Flint were much the better team in the first half and although we had an effort cleared off the line , I think they deserved to be in front. However second half was a different story and the only thing that was missing from our game was the killer touch. We made several opportunities and really should have been level on several occasions. Our best chances fell to Kenny (Burgess) , Lucas (Brookes)and Mike (Lundstram)."
Burgess : Juggler Manager Dyer was not happy that Flint Town began with the better tempo. "We can’t afford to give good sides like Flint a head start and effectively that’s what we did with our first half performance. I think when you consider our best 2 players on the day were Matt Gatfield and Lucas Brookes and they both came off the bench it tells the story, we just didn’t start right." Looking forward to next week , the Denbigh Supremo will be looking for a more positive start to the game and maybe a shake up of his team.
Luke O'Mahoney : Leaning " We have plenty of options to make some changes and possibly that’s what we’ll need to do to ensure we start the next game more positively. A number of players are pushing for a start - Lucas Brookes, John Roberts, Darren Cassidy and Chris O’Brien." One man who will be hoping to shrug off his knock is little magician Ryan Harden who had to be carried off after 20 minutes last Saturday with a leg injury. " We’ll have to see how Ryan’s injury is later in the week before deciding if he is fit to play. Adam Jones is also absent and Paul Edwards remains sidelined."

Sat, 16 February 2008 Seven Heaven Spells Hell for Town Denbigh Town Reserves suffered a 7-3 reverse at unbeaten Penmaenmawr Phoenix , writes Peter Glynn at Cae Sling. It sounds a hammering but for periods the Reserves did worry their hosts , and scoring three goals away from home against the quality Gwynedd side shows potential. Goals change games and after a barren first half hour , Phoenix struck when Peter Williams strode through a gaping Denbigh defence and smashed home. The visitors were finding it difficult to string their passing game together , and Pen continued to knock on a now widening Denbigh door and on the stroke of half time , Premier League top scorer Ritchie Roberts got onto the end of a right wing cross and , though looking light years offside , slotted home. After the break , Town upped their tempo but the Cae Sling mob had the bit between their teeth. A third strike on 52 minutes was a messy jobby as Pen's Pete Roberts slammed home at the far post after a mix up , and then a fourth on 56 minutes , a Ronaldinho type free kick from Bleddyn Jones , put the game to bed for good and all. Simon Mackie gave Town a little hope when latching onto a ball from the right on 58 minutes , and the Town marksman chipped the advancing keeper to pull one back. Then Town could have added a second when a ball from Ben Stanway gave Gaz John the opportunity to rinse his full back , and , sending a ball into the near post , Matt Toole was unfortunate to fire straight into the home keeper's breadbasket. Pen came up the other end immediately and forced a corner from which a shot by Peter Williams from outside the box took a wicked ricochet , ending up in the opposite corner of the net with the ball boy preparing to retrieve the ball from the A55. Another mazy run from Gaz John on the hour mark resulted in a trip and Chris Hughes stroked home the penalty for 5-2. Pen looked a physically stronger outfit and the pace of the game continued to expose the Town defence who were leaving massive holes at the back. Phoenix hit both sixth and seventh from Bleddyn Jones and Steve Williams respectively , both of whom were put clean through , but the goal of the game on 89 minutes belonged to Denbigh. Brett Jones collected the ball just inside the host's half and beat two before racing clear and tucking it past the keeper to record a quality effort. Denbigh now face Flint Town United at Central Park on Saturday 23rd February kick off 2pm. Denbigh Town Reserves : Chris Brown , Ben Stanway , Jonny Bowen , Justin Jones ( captain) , Jamie Clayton , Chris Hughes , Tom Sheridan , Gaz John Williams , Darren Nixon , Simon Mackie , Matty Toole. Subs: Brett Jones , Andy Skeoch , Adam Owen , Sean Williams, Gareth Hughes. Final Score : Phoenix 7 Town Reserves 3 Scorers: Si Mackie , Chris Hughes (Pen) , Brett Jones

Sat, 16 February 2008 Flint Blunt Denbigh Ambitions Denbigh Town suffered a 2-0 home reverse against high flying Flint Town United in a sometimes bruising encounter , reports Peter Glynn at Central Park. The reflective amongst the crowd would agree that the visitors were good value for their win , though an improved second half showing from Dyer's men might have yielded rewards - particularly if a Kenny Burgess penalty on 48 minutes had brought the game level. It was Flint who started the quicker of the two sides and Town were grateful to stopper Jamie Hulse on ten minutes. The Denbigh glovesman had to be on his toes early doors to prevent Sean Beck from registering , diving full length to turn the goal botherer's firm header effort round the post. United were forcing a number of corners but found Mark Orme and Tony Davies in skinflint mood as Denbigh mopped up the bits. The Central Park side's main outlet was the fleet Mike Lundstram and with twinkle toes , the wide man had two great runs at the Flint heart as Town began to wake up, but then the home side's rhythm was disrupted when midfield maestro Ryan Harden took a nasty blow to the shin and was replaced. Luke O' Mahoney began to probe and one strong run almost brought a lead , and then on the half hour mark Ian Evans broke clear but was denied when a cruel bobble sent his shot cleared the bar. Flint were showing good commitment and excellent skill , with Denbigh were thankful to Matt Gatfield for two interceptions as the tigerish Beck threatened to pounce on the break. Town upped the ante and on 35 minutes Craig Goodwin found a battling Ian Evans who fed Lundstram. With a panicky Flint throwing bodies at the ball , it eventually fell to Kevin Evans whose rising effort just inched over. But just as Denbigh thought they might be taking control , Flint struck through that man Beck. The goal machine latched onto a through ball after a quick throw and from 8 yards slipped it past a despairing Hulse to bring Flint a 1-0 lead at the interval. Denbigh had the perfect start to the second stanza when Luke O'Mahoney slipped in Kenny Burgess who was illegally brought crashing to terra firma. The same man strode forward but was in agony to see his spot kick strike the upright and hacked to safety , with the Flintshire men quickest to repond to the rebound. Lundstram cleared the bar on 50 minutes from a Tony Davies header as the home side began to pressurise the Flint back line , and on then the hour Dyer threw on new signing Lucas Brookes. It nearly paid dividends as first the youngster struck a drive that was deflected behind , then the little man met a great O' Mahoney cross with his head , only for Alan Thomas in the Flint goal to tip the goalbound effort onto his crossbar. Next Brookes poked an effort that trickled inches wide under a challenge that flattened him. O' Mahoney sent over some great cross balls into the box from which Evans and Burgess tested the Flint's glovesman , but it now simply refused to fall for a now increasingly frustrated Denbigh mob. The visitors were breaking out well and Hulse had to save bravely from Beck , with another Flint effort was planted wide of a gaping net a minute later. As Denbigh threw the kitchen sink in search of a leveller they were made to pay , and again it was in time added on by the match referee. Another speedy break presented Steve Thomas with a one on one with Hulse and he slotted home to give the Cae Castell side a 2-0 win and the three points.

Tue, 12 February 2008 Denbigh Town FC in Local Music Drive IF Music Be The Food Of Love then Denbigh Town FC are adding to the picnic by showcasing local talent at Central Park , writes Peter Glynn. Peter and Paul ( still looking for Mary) , who organise the public address and pre-match and half time entertainment , are now playing tunes composed and recorded in the Denbigh area. " We thought it was a simple yet effective way of helping to support local individuals and bands - it is something that the club can do at each home game."   Peter is keen that people who would be willing to have their music played to contact him. " At the last match we played stuff by Denbigh High School students Chris Wood and Ben Williams , and also a song by John Evans. These are local recorded artists , and only three of a number here in Denbigh. Anyone who is interested can send me an mp3 file and we can add it to a growing play list."  John Evans Denbigh Town's next home game is against Flint Town United on Saturday 16th February with a 2pm kick off. Category: general -- posted at: 8:31 AM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||
Mon, 11 February 2008 The Gaffer Speaks! A great win for Denbigh Town in Saturday's NWCFA CC 2nd Round had Manager Tim Dyer purring: " Another good all round performance I thought even if it did become a little laboured in the second half. It is sometimes difficult when you are so much on top to keep the tempo in the game throughout the 90mins. " Up front Town are looking hot and the Denbigh gaffer thought Ian Evans' opener was something special. " Massive plus points are that Ian and Kenny are working really well up front , scoring regular and combining well. Ian’s first goal was the sort of finish worthy to win a game on it’s own, and Kenny’s movement to the near post for Luke’s cross was instinctive. And the quality of Luke's (O'Mahoney) cross was impssible to defend."
Links Effect : Kenny B latched onto Luke's cross to convert. Tim Dyer was happy to see two of his new recruits in action after delays in recent weeks due to the weather. " Craig Goodwin had a good solid game contributing well in defence and also when he played the last 3rd up front. Chris O’Brien looked very assured in midfield when he came on in the second half , so I think both players will be reasonably happy with their debuts. "
Goodwin starred in good win News filtered through that Dyer's other signing had bagged a hatful in Reserve team action , and believes that the former Prestatyn Town youngster will be a big hit in a Denbigh shirt. " Lucas Brookes made a massive statement by scoring 4 for the Reserves and I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Ian and Kenny have gone up a level since he arrived at the club. Lucas has had a frustrating time since signing for us in January , not being able to play due to postponements and being cup tied and I believe he’ll have a massive impact for us this season. " Looking forward to the next game , a Cymru Alliance home mtch up with Flint Town United , Tim has a pleasant problem to contend with. "Squad selection will be tough next week as competition for places is very tough just at the moment and that hopefully will drive us in the right direction.

Brookes Guns Down Mochdre
Lucas' Awesome Foursome "Four second half Lucas Brookes goals pipped Mochdre Sports by the odd goal in nine - and I like it." Peter Glynn Four second half Lucas Brookes goals sealed a stunning comeback for Denbigh Town Reserves , writes Peter Glynn at Mochdre Sports. Once again , the Central Park brigade found themselves behind early doors when a Jay Goddard header and a Rob Knowles free kick established a two nil lead after 25 minutes. Things went from bad to worse when Mark Grieff , his first start of the season , suffered a re-occurance of his toe injury and was replaced by Simon Mackie. To be honest , Sports were worthy of their lead at this stage of the proceedings, having started the quicker , winning the ball well in centre midfield and utilising their possession to control the game. But Manager Tony Sheridan has instilled a 'never say die' attitude into his young charges , and the game turned on a piece of skill that gave the visitors belief and put doubt into the minds of their opponents. Lucas Brookes broke swiftly onto a great ball from Darren Nixon , turned a man and rifled in a effort that squirmed out of the Mochdre glovesman's , um , gloves - and predator Matt Toole slid in under pressure from three yards out to get Town back into it. Justin Jones and Jamie Clayton were tough to prevent Knowles adding another , and a challenge by Jonny Bowen on Ashe kept Sports out as they looked to kill the game for good and all. Suddenly Gaz John and Mackie began to run the show as Denbigh started to use both flanks to burn past the now hesitant Sports back line. But from a break away , the Denbigh mob found themselves two behind yet again , this time when Chris Evans wriggled free to plant the ball past an isolated Chris Brown between the Town sticks. The second stanza saw the Vale side regain the initiative from the off , and a sublime piece of control by Chris Hughes , coupled with a delicious ball to the feet of Brookes on 50 minutes , resulted in the youngster executing a clinical finish in the bottom left hand corner for 3-2. The visitors now began to feed Gaz John who was roasting his left back opponent for fun , and with Toole and Brookes rubbing shoulders it was all Denbigh as they attempted to grab a leveller. On 55 minutes Toole and Ben Stanway combined to release Gaz John , who tricked his marker and was chopped in the box by a wayward boot. Penalty! Lucas Brookes bulged the net. 3-3. But back came the resilient Mochdre side to make it 4-3 , though there may be a tad of controversy about the goal on the hour mark. Adam Ashe seemed to control the ball illegally , turned and fired home with the Denbigh defence looking for a ref's whistle for 'hands'. But Town were not to be denied and on 70 minutes Brookes took it upon himself to wheedle his way on goal , and though the keeper saved his first effort , Brookes slammed home for his hat trick and parity. Only one team was going to win it , as first Toole had an effort well saved and then Brookes hit the keeper's legs in a one on one situation. As Mochdre tried to respond , Town broke well down the right with 5 minutes remaining. Great movement from Toole released Hughes who fed Brookes , who slotted home for 5-4 to the away side. Was it over? No it wasn't and it took a double save from big Chris Brown right at the death to retain the lead and grasp the three points. Denbigh Town Reserves : Chris Brown , Ben Stanway , Justin Jones , Jonny Bowen , Jamie Clayton , Mark Grieff , Darren Nixon , Chris Hughes , Gaz John Williams , Lucas Brookes , Matty Toole.

Sat, 9 February 2008 Denbigh Dispatch Pwllheli. Denbigh Town progress to the next stage of the NWCFA Challenge Cup with a comprehensive victory of Welsh Alliance opposition Pwllheli at Central Park , writes Peter Glynn. The hosts effectively put the game to bed in the first 45 , with Ian Evans bagging a pair and Kenny Burgess adding a third just before the break. The second stanza was played out with Ben Chippendale grabbing a consolation at the death after an own goal had given Denbigh their fourth. Denbigh began brightly and in the first minute may have grabbed a lead. Luke O'Mahoney crossed over a peach and Mike Lundstram rose early but planted his header wide. The Central Park boys were in dominant mood and Ryan Harden picked out a lurking Ian Evans but a good challenge in the box by Pwll's Neil Jones deflected the effort wide.   Ryan Harden swings over a flag kick , and Jamie Hobson battles in centre-mid. But the worker bee wasn't to be denied and when the opener came on 14 minutes it was an absolute beauty. Mike Lundstram played a ball up to Evans 25 yards from goal and the striker lifted the ball on the volley over the rooted Pwll keeper to record a memorable strike. And the Denbigh man of the match wasn't finished there. A short corner from Ryan Harden 4 minutes later was eventually played to Evans in the box and the goal grabber fired in a shot that found its way into the net at the far post. Town continued to press forward and O'Mahoney was influential in most of what was good about the home performance. Dyer's men effectively killed the game on 40 minutes when Kenny Burgess finished the move of the match. Denbigh glove-jockey Jamie Hulse rolled out a ball to debutant Craig Goodwin. The full back played a ball across the park to the feet of Darren Cassidy who in turn released O'Mahoney. His first time cross was nodded on beautifully over the challenging 'Heli stopper to notch his 10th goal in all competitions this term. With the match now put to bed , Denbigh eased off the throttle allowing the visitors to come more into the game. Dave Farr troubled Hulse with a stinging drive and Ben Chippendale began to create mischief on the right. But at the other end O'Mahoney struck a post , and Lundstram fired over twice when well placed. Supremo Tim Dyer pushed Craig Goodwin up front and it was his industry that created a fourth , with a cruel deflected own goal settling matters. The visitors never let their heads drop , but Goodwin should have registered when put in the clear by Kevin Evans but the newcomer lobbed over. Pwll finally got something to take back to the Lleyn when Chippendale fired home after a melee , with the home side down to ten men , Darren Cassidy having been blood binned with all substitues in now use. Denbigh Town: Jamie Hulse , Craig Goodwin , Darren Cassidy , Mark Orme (c) , Tony Davies , Ryan Harden , Jamie Hobson , Mike Lundstram , Ian Evans , Luke O'Mahoney , Kenny Burgess.

Fri, 8 February 2008 Tom Sheridan misses his first game of the season , but Manager Tony Sheridan otherwise has a strong squad to choose from , including Lucas Brookes who is cup tied for the first team's match against Pwllheli in the NWCFA Cup Quarter Final.

We have pace , ability and Justin also returning is a big boost. " Mr. G.M. Gray is tomorrow's referee.

Sat, 2 February 2008 Three goals , a great fightback and excellent performances throughout the team belies the 6-3 scoreline , writes Peter Glynn at Abergele Rovers. Tony Sheridan has got his charges playing some neat football and scoring quality goals , though the Reserves supremo will be cursing his luck as the Central Park boys were possibly worthy of getting something out of this game. If you allow it , Rovers will play the socks off you and so it proved as the hosts raced into a 2-0 cushion , courtesy of goals from Nick Jones and Adam Kruse on 20 and 24 minutes respectively. The home side also had a good shout for a penalty which was airily waved away by the match official , but he made amends by awarding the home side a more dubious spot kick decision , which Chris Brown in the Denbigh goal saved ( to give it a polite name ) comfortably. In point of fact , the big stopper had to wait for the ball to arrive and avoided the temptation to through his cap on it.   Chris Brown & Tom Sheridan Gele were hot and could have added to their total , but good defending from Jamie Clayton , who was hard in the tackle and superb in the air , prevented further serious efforts troubling the Town goal. Adam Owen had to work overtime to deny Nick Jones , and then just before half time , Jonny Bowen put in a foot to deny Rover's Dave Collins a strike on goal.   Adam Owen & Jonny Bowen It looked as if it was going to be a hard day at the office when Kruse added his second on 47 minutes to make it 3-0 but suddenly Sheridan's mob decided to join the party. Darren Nixon - he has skill and toughness and a quality about his play - curled in a peach from a 25 yard free kick to lift the spirits and gladden the heart.   Darren Nixon & Jamie Clayton Tom Sheridan , Denbigh's Man of the Match , was putting himself about in the middle of the park , and he was feeding the lively Brett Jones and Nixon as the away side sniffed a revival. Brett Jones was outstanding , and good play in conjunction with Ben Stanway , who has improved week on week , released Simon Mackie on 55 minutes and the lurker beat the offside trap , rounded the keeper and stroked the ball home.   Brett Jones and Si Mackie 3-2 and it was all to play for and Denbigh began to press for the equaliser , though to be fair to Rovers , they continued to look likely on the break , and Stanway did well to hack away a thunderbolt from Kruse. Abergele were keen to regain the initiative and on 70 minutes a break down the right exposed the Town defence and from a great ball into the box James Davies planted home. If they thought it was over , they were incorrect as Gaz John Williams brought it back to 4-3 when Chris Hughes launched a thirty yarder to his feet. The goal grabber took an touch before slamming home. A mention for Gary Madoc Jones who is out injured and who has tirelessly supported his team by coming along to games home & away. It is this team spirit and morale that stands Denbigh in great stead and something that Manager Sheridan can look on with pride.  Gary Madoc Jones Gaz John is not just there for the goals. He had a busy game , closing down opponents and enjoyed a number of mazy runs that left defenders , including his own , in a daze. Town now threw the kitchen sink at Gele , and Sean Williams inched an effort into the side netting when well placed, and Gareth Hughes cooked up another goal bound drive that was deflected away.   Sean Williams & Gaz Hughes The moment of the match arrived from a Stanway corner. Brett Jones met the ball perfectly and was in purgatory to see his effort hacked off the line with Town thinking they had poached a leveller. It proved ultimately decisive. Gele are quality in midfield , especially on the right hand flank , and as Denbigh began to tire , so the home side took advantage. James Davies effectively sealed it on 77 minutes when he netted his second to make it 5-3 and then on 85 minutes Dave Collins bagged a 6th for the home side with a close range effort.   Chris Hughes & Gareth John Denbigh Town Reserves: Chris Brown , Ben Stanway , Adam Owen , Jamie Clayton , Jonny Bowen , Chris Hughes (Captain) , Tom Sheridan , Darren Nixon , Brett Jones , Simon Mackie , Gaz John Williams.

Mon, 28 January 2008 Manager Tim Dyer was very pleased with Saturday's performance and had this to say today: " It was a good solid team performance on Saturday , given we only had one out of the regular back four playing in position . I was delighted with a clean sheet, and performance of Kevin Evans at the back. " Town were back to their best going forward. Six nil may have been a little tough on Buckley , but at times Denbigh were irresistable and were playing their best stuff of the season.
Boss Tim Dyer " Going forward Luke O’Mahoney was a class above rest and really ripped them apart and was a big goal threat. He scored one and was involved in all four first half goals. Kenny Burgess also I thought did well with his movement - he created great space for himself - and another pleasing thing is that others on the pitch also had scoring chances. " Boss Dyer has added two players to the squad and is excited by his new signings. " The reaction of some of the players to the fact we have brought in some new faces was exactly what we were looking for - and adding Lucas Brookes and Craig Goodwin to the squad next week will strengthen our hand considerably!! " Looking forward to next Saturday , a Cymru Alliance home fixture against Gresford Athletic , Manager Dyer is optimistic that a repeat of Saturday's effort will do very nicely though two individuals will be absent. " Kevin Evans is away next Saturday ( on a skiing holiday ) and John Roberts again will be missing due to work commitments. A home game is just what I’d have wanted after a performance like Saturday's - and we’ll be looking to continue from where we left off. Postponements have held back Denbigh from getting into a groove and Boss Dyer is targeting some points to give the Cymru Alliance table some semblance of reality. " We need points to get us back up the table having played just 2 league games in 9 weeks due to weather and cup commitments. We have slipped down the league table as a result so it's up to us to put points on the board to show that our current position is a false one , especially as we have 7 games in hand on some teams. But until the points are on the board not much we can do about it!!

Sun, 27 January 2008 Brave Reserves Run Out Of Gas Week on week postponements ultimately proved the downfall for Denbigh Town Reserves , eventually running out of steam and surrendering a 2-0 lead at Halkyn United Reserves , writes Peter Glynn in the President's Cup. But with a little more care in front of goal and a modicum of luck at the back , Denbigh will feel that this was a game there for the taking. Sheridan's men started quickly and Town skipper Chris Hughes was dominant on a heavy pitch that made pretty football a non starter. But to be fair to both sides , they did their best to play a passing game and produced at times some excellent pieces of skill and exciting passages of play. Add to this a game played in the correct Corinthian spirit , and this was a credit to the competition.  Evergreen Chris Brown The visitors had the perfect start. Simon Mackie received the ball in space on the left. He smoked his way into the box and from the acutest of angles , rifled the ball into the onion bag. The joy! Halkyn responded and pushed for a leveller but found Jamie Clayton and new boy Craig Goodwin in excellent form , snuffing out anything nearing the danger area. Goodwin had been cup tied from first team duties , having represented Bala Town in an earlier round of the Cymru Alliance League Cup. Town were dangerous on the break and Mackie and Andrew Skeoch both had one on one opportunities that slipped wide of the target , and then a Tom Sheridan volley found the net after superb play from Brett Jones , but most were bemused to see the effort wiped off by the match official for offside - a tough decision and borderline at best. Darren Nixon and Brett Jones were creating on the flanks and their speed and skill were setting up chances as Denbigh now tried to catch United on the break. But on the stroke of half time , the Halkyn pressed and their enterprise almost gained them parity. A corner , one of a number that they had forced in the latter stages of the half , was sent long and a great header looped towards goal from United's useful Probert , but Adam Owen was perfectly placed to head off the line. More Denbigh play early doors in the second stanza almost unlocked the door , with Town's forwards again causing problems for the home defence , and the Halkyn glovesman had to get down sharpish to tip away a Skeoch effort. But on 70 minutes , the Central Park outfit must have thought they had won it , when Skeoch waltzed through a bemused United back line and cooly slotted home to give the visitors a cushion. Suddenly match fitness began to take its toll and as United upped the pace , exposed a now heavy legged Denbigh mob. On 73 minutes Mick Hodgson slid home after a speculative effort twanged the bar and fell to his grateful right peg. Then two minutes later a Robbie Rush speculative strike struck a defenders boot and trickled home past a wrong footed Chrissy Brown. The pain! Ben Stanway earned a corner as Denbigh sought to regain the initiative , and from the Adam Owen beauty , Craig Goodwin rose like a salmon but was in agony to see his firm header inch just over with most shouting 'goal!' It proved a pivotal moment as on 85 minutes Denbigh , now running on fumes , were exposed at the back. Glovesman Brown , stretching to hold onto the football , had it blatantly kicked out of his hands. A lurking Mark Probert tipped his hat , said thank you very much and scuffed home to give Halkyn a 3-2 win. Tragedy. Tough on Sheridan's charges but the Town had run themselves to a standstill and should be rightly proud of their performance. Final Score: Halkyn United Reserves 3 Denbigh Town Reserves 2 Denbigh Town Reserves: Chris Brown , Adam Owen , Ben Stanway , Jamie Clayton , Craig Goodwin , Chris Hughes , Tom Crouch Sheridan , Brett Jones, Darren Nixon , Simon Mackie , Andy Skeoch .

Sat, 26 January 2008 Burgess Buckles Buckley A Kenny Burgess hat trick , two from the spot , helped to secure six shooting Denbigh's passage to the semi final of the League Cup against a young Buckley outfit , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park. A fiercesome wind and a slippery playing surface made conditions tricky , but the hosts employed a slick passing game which carved open Buckley time after time. To be honest , Buckley got away with a 6-0 as at times Dyer's mob were lining up to fill their boots , having cut Simon Sedgewick's men to shreds. Central Park stood in silence before kick off to remember Emrys Williams , former Denbigh Town Secretary and North Wales match official for over 50 years , who did so much for the club and the sport over decades and whose passing is a sad loss to the community. Denbigh dominated from the off. Luke O'Mahoney was running riot in the early stages and only superb last ditch defending and a hurried finish denied him an opening goal on 10 minutes after a nice build up involving Darren Cassidy and Ryan Harden. Harden himself ghosted round a Buckley leg after being played in by Kenny Burgess out on the left , and little magician was unlucky to see a planted shot skim wide , but then at the other end Buckley should have registered when beefy Alan Dawson inched a header wide , after glovesman Hulse allowed a ball to bobble up off his chest. O'Mahoney had another effort blocked off but a breakthrough was coming and it was the same man who latched onto a Jamie Hobson square ball. The 17 year old took a touch before slamming home to give the home side an edge on the 25 minute mark. Buckley were finding it hard to cope with Town's skill and Ian Evans released O'Mahoney again , but this time the ball was deflected wide. World Champion Mark Webster may have the Freedom of Denbigh , but O'Mahoney had the freedom of Central Park as time after time the youngster beat his man , creating havoc in the Flintshire side's back four. Another goal must surely come and when it did , it was young Luke O'Mahoney who provided it , his individual strength and vision setting up Ian Evans. The Denbigh man shrugged off the last defender , allowed the keeper to commit and slotted home to put his side firmly in the box seat. Town were now ripping Buckley apart at will. And a minute later O'Mahoney powered his way into the box , and was poised to make it three when he found his legs taken , which allowed spot king Kenny Burgess to step forward and blast home. A fourth arrived on the stroke of half time for the rampant home side, when O'Mahoney's sweet drive thudded back off the post and poacher Ian Evans bagged his second. Denbigh Town now had the wind at their backs in the second stanza , but Buckley did tighten up slightly at the back , denying Mark Orme a rare shot on goal when Gatfield played a great cross towards him , and then Lundstram was head in hands when his effort ballooned over the bar having taken a wicked deflection. Burgess looked hungry for goals and after two close shaves the tricky winger created an individual goal of quality , turning his defender and slotting home , with Vickers in the Buckley goal bamboozled. Town were now coasting and held Buckley at arms length. Alan Dawson hit the upright for the visitors with a rising effort from the edge of the area and Hulse had to be alert to pouch a couple of long range efforts , but with Kevin Evans in awesome form at the back Town were rarely under threat of conceding. Jonny Bowen put his body on the line to block off another effort as the Bucks looked to salvage something - anything - from the wreckage. Up front the Central Park brigade continued to carve out chances. Substitute Matt Toole beautifully set up Jamie Hobson , who fired over but another was coming and it was Toole who was instrumental in setting up what was to be Denbigh's sixth. The youngster squeezed past a Buckley back and was cynically chopped when about to pull the trigger. Burgess stepped forward and slammed home to give the score a semblance of realism. Burgess fires Denbigh's sixth from the spot! Final Score: Denbigh Town 6 Buckley Town 0 Man of the Match: Kevin Evans. Team: Hulse , Cassidy , Gatfield , Orme (c) , K.Evans , Harden , O'Mahoney , Burgess , Lundstram , I.Evans , Hobson. Subs: Bowen , Toole , S.Jones , Tuleman.

Sun, 13 January 2008 A good performance in the second half ensured that Denbigh were worthy of a share of the spoils against Mynydd Isa at Snowden Avenue, writes Peter Glynn The pitch , wet in patches , was in playable condition considering the recent bad weather. Denbigh started brightly and on 10 minutes Kenny Burgess rubbed shoulders with Mike Lundstram in the Isa box , but the ball inched wide when the latter failed to connect properly. Mynydd responded and Sam Pugh received a ball in the Town box , turned well and hit a powerful shot that was turned round a post by the flying Jamie Hulse. Most of the game was being fought in the middle of the park , but one steaming tackle from debutant Jonny Bowen warmed the cockles on what was a cold afternoon. On the stroke of half time , Isa almost snatched an unlikely lead with another Pugh effort. The Denbigh defence , dreaming of their half time cuppa , failed to clear and Leonard rolled it along the six yard box only for Pugh to miskick. The quality picked up on the restart and on 55 minutes a Kevin Evans just edged over with Dave Walsh rooted. Denbigh now getting the upper hand, controlling midfield and looking dangerous going forward and on 67 minutes took a lead. Following a good build up down the right , Kenny Burgess played the ball into the path of Luke O'Mahoney , who hammered the ball home from just inside the penalty area. Mynydd Isa were getting frustrated and dissent proved the end of Barry Caldia , who picked up a second yellow for something he said. Mynydd were flapping and a second goal would have killed the game. Ian Evans almost provided it but his superb run ended in disappointment as he shot wide after the ball took a wicked bobble. One is never enough and on 82 minutes the home side grabbed the draw. The ball was played out to Simon Hulse on the right. His good cross was met with an excellent header Chris Boulton which arched into the top corner of the net. Jamie Hulse , Jonny Bowen , Adam Jones , Mark Orme , John Roberts , Mike Lundstram , Luke O'Mahoney , Ryan Harden , Ian Evans , Kenny Burgess , Kevin Evans.Subs: Matt Toole , Simon Mackie , Steve Jones Category: match reports -- posted at: 11:21 AM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||

Sun, 6 January 2008 Denbigh Town Reserves were again left frustrated when the match at Abergele Rovers was cancelled. But on this occasion it was not Mother Nature who was to be the cause as the ground , though wet in patches , was in playable condition. Referee Glenn Gray spotted that creosote had been used to mark the lines , and , having been banned for health and safety reasons a number of years ago , had no alternative but to cancel the fixture. It was particularly frustrating as Tony Sheridan's charges were fired up for the game and were confident of an upset against high flying Rovers. Tony Sheridan was disappointed that the game had to be pulled: " We were really looking forward to the game , especially not having played for a few weeks. We had a good team out and everyone was prepared. We spoke before the game about tactics and were confident that we could grab ourselves a win. We like to prepare properly and as professionally as possible. We were going out for the warm up when we got the news. " The Reserves now look forward to a Central Park fixture against Rhuddlan Town , on Saturday 12th January , kick off 2pm.

Sat, 5 January 2008 Denbigh Town staged a second half recovery to overcome a dogged Halkyn United outfit in the first round of the NWCFA Cup , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park. Jack Abraham 31 on and Damien Ketley 43 minutes gave the visitors a two goal cushion going into the break but a Mike Lundstram double on 58 and 73 and 90th minute Kenny Burgess winner ensured the hosts eventually progressed to the next round when the visitors to Central Park will be Pwllheli FC.  Having squandered a 2-0 lead in their last game , Denbigh played it the other way and showed the necessary commitment and determination to bounce back. How the visitors are struggling near to the bottom of the Welsh Alliance is a mystery on this performance as they played with passion , pride and not a little skill. The first 45 minutes began well for Dyer's men as a number of excellent chances were created but spurned by the profligate pairing of Ian Evans and Mike Lundstram. Luke O'Mahoney was making hay in the muddy conditions and his strong run down the left found Lundstram in space but visiting keeper Tony Gandy was up to the mark and pouched the speed-merchant's effort. Suddenly Halkyn stepped up a gear and on the half hour were rewarded with the opening goal , a sweet volley from Jack Abraham that left the Town defence staring at each other. Then just before the interval , a free header from live-wire Damien Ketley doubled Halkyn's advantage - again , a nicely executed effort. It looked like a shock was on the cards though some might argue that United were worthy of their lead - both goals sweetly taken with the hosts all at sea in the back line. 2-0 is the worst lead in football and if the visitors thought the game was over they had a shock in store. Dyer's half time advice brought the best out of his team and the second half began with the Town camped in the Mountainmen's half. Ryan Harden and Adam Jones combined to release Lundstram and his trickery almost presented Ian Evans with a goal but the impressive Gandy turned the effort over. It got a little bit spicy on 50 minutes when a confrontation between Lundstram and Gandy resulted in a yellow card for the former and treatment to a leg injury for the latter. More frustration followed as Town overdid the passing routine with Lundstram and Ian Evans begging for an early ball into the danger area.  But it wasn't long before Denbigh were on the scoresheet and some sublime play between Harden and Kevin Evans released Lundstram who touched it round Gandy and swept home in glee. There was now only one team in it as fitness began to take its toll on the Flintshire side. Dyer added Burgess and Gatfield to the brew and Lundstram was fed in by the now rampant O'Mahoney and the goal getter grabbed his second. Burgess blasted wide when well placed , Kevin Evans inched a firm header just wide and Gandy had to put body and soul in peril to deny Lundstram his hat-trick. But with injury time looming in the gloom , Burgess found ball at feet in front of the target and having stared down the Halkyn glovesman , smashed home to put Denbigh through. Final score: Denbigh Town 3 Halkyn United 2. Denbigh Town: Jamie Hulse , Jamie Hobson , Adam Jones , Mark Orme , John Roberts , Kevin Evans , Ryan Harden , Darren Cassidy , Ian Evans , Mike Lundstram , Luke O'Mahoney.

Denbigh Town FC would like to extend a Happy New Year to all supporters and look forward to a successful 2008. Manager Tim Dyer is boosted by the return to full fitness of Kevin Evans and the midfielder is added to the squad for the Saturday 5th January NWCFA Cup First Round match at Central Park against Halkyn United , kick off at 1-30pm. Town were again left frustrated by the weather which caused the postponement of their away fixture at Llanfair PG on Saturday , due to a waterlogged pitch. One man who will be absent on Saturday is Town's central defender Tony Davies (pictured) , who has signed for Welsh Premier League side Llangefni Town. Davies , previously with Bala Town , was a firm favourite with the fans for his no nonsense defending and coolness under pressure , and his presence will be a big miss as Denbigh look to kick on after consolidating in the first half of the Cymru Alliance season. Llangefni are struggling at the foot of the Premier League and new Manager Alex Kevan and his assistant , former Liverpool player Phil Boersma , targetted Davies in a bid to tighten up their leaky defence.  Denbigh Town v Halkyn United (from): J. Hulse , J.Roberts , D.Cassidy , M.Gatfield , M.Orme (capt) , K.Evans , R.Harden , J.Hobson , I.Evans , M.Lundstram , L.O'Mahoney , K.Burgess , A.Jones , T.Harrison , S.Jones.

Sat, 22 December 2007 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 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.

Wed, 12 December 2007 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!

Fri, 7 December 2007 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.

Thu, 6 December 2007 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'.

Sat, 1 December 2007 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.
