Mold Alexandra put four past Rhuthun Town in the Welsh Championship north section on Thursday night. The result leaves the visitors fifth in the table while the hosts remain rooted to fourteenth place after six matches.
Rhuthun Town have won just once this season and sit on four points. Mold Alexandra, with three victories and two draws, have accumulated eleven and are closing on a top-four push. and here's the thing — the gap between them was already visible in recent form.
The hosts lost four of their previous five matches, including defeats to Newtona and Holyhead Hotspur. Mold Alexandra showed more consistency, beating Buckley Town and Holyhead Hotspur on consecutive days. to be fair, the visitors had one stumble against Gilscup but recovered quickly.
The four-goal margin tells you everything about a match where Rhuthun Town simply could not contain the visitors. No amount of organisation can fix a side that has lost four of six games. Mold Alexandra took what came and showed no signs of easing off.
This result means Mold Alexandra move further clear of the mid-table pack while Rhuthun Town remain in the relegation battle. by then the visitors will be looking at the fixtures ahead with confidence rather than caution.
