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.
