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 : Chris Brown , Ben Stanway , Darren Nixon , Jamie Clayton , Jonny Bowen ( captain) , Chris Hughes , Gaz John Williams , Tom Sheridan , Matt Toole , Simon Mackie , Brett Jones : Subs : Adam Owen , James Hewitt , Gareth Hughes , Sean Williams , Andy Skeoch.

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.

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. Denbigh Town : Jamie Hulse , Jamie Hobson , Craig Goodwin , Mark Orme (c) , Tony Davies , Luke O'Mahoney , Ryan Harden , Kevin Evans , Ian Evans , Kenny Burgess , Mike Lundstram.

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. Subs : Adam Owen , Andy Skeoch , Sean Williams , Simon Mackie , Gareth Hughes. Category: match reports -- posted at: 1:07 PM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||
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. Subs Chris O'Brien , John Roberts , Paul Edwards , Kevin Evans , Matty Gatfield. Man of the Match : Ian Evans. Category: match reports -- posted at: 11:21 AM Comments[1] | |||||||||||||||

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. Subs (used) Sean Williams , Gareth Hughes. (unused) Andrew Skeoch. Category: match reports -- posted at: 10:54 AM Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||
