Cefn Druids defeated Llanuwchllyn 5-2 in the Welsh Championship, North section, round nine. The visitors took control early and never looked back, with two goals from J. Davies proving decisive in the first half. Llanuwchllyn pulled one back through A. Harries in the fifth minute, but the home side found themselves chasing the game by then.
I. Smout opened the scoring for the away side before J. Davies struck twice in quick succession, first in the thirty-fourth minute and then again eight minutes later. By the time the half ended, Cefn Druids had turned a narrow lead into something comfortable. And here's the thing — Llanuwchllyn's reply came too late to change the complexion of the match.
The second half saw I. Smout add his second goal in the fifty-third minute, followed by J. Morris in the sixty-first. W. Aykroyd-Duckett received a red card in the eighty-fourth minute, leaving the hosts with ten men. T. Rowlands made it five in the eighty-fifth minute to seal the result. The visitors held the tie in their own hands after that, with a comfortable cushion.
Llanuwchllyn sit tenth in the table with eleven points from nine games, three wins, two draws and four losses. Cefn Druids occupy seventh place with sixteen points from eight matches — five victories, one draw and two defeats. The away side now extend their advantage over their nearest rivals in the North section.
