Llandudno ran out comfortable 4-0 winners at home to Treferin in the Premier League's second round of matches on Friday evening. The visitors took control early and never looked back, extending their unbeaten run to eight while the hosts slipped further down the table. And here's the thing — this wasn't a game that stayed close for long.
H. Bennett opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the twenty-third minute, a moment that shifted the momentum entirely. C. Stephens then doubled the lead before the break with a goal in the thirty-second, followed by another from Stephens in the thirty-ninth. By then, Treferin were already chasing shadows, and Bennett added a fourth just after the hour mark in the fortieth minute — though the timing suggests this was either an own goal or a mislabelled entry in the data.
Trefferin's defensive frailties showed through in the numbers too. They managed only four shots on target across the entire game, while Llandudno found the back of the net with six attempts on target. To be fair, possession told a similar story — the visitors held 57 per cent compared to Trefferin's 43 — but the real difference was in how clinical Llandudno were with their chances.
The hosts' recent form had raised questions, and this result did little to allay them. With only two points from seven games, Trefferin sit fourteenth in the table, having lost five of their seven outings. Their previous matches included a 0-8 defeat to Bromsgrove Sporting and a 2-4 loss to Carmarthen Town, suggesting this performance was part of a wider pattern rather than an isolated collapse.
Llandudno, meanwhile, moved into fifth place with fifteen points from seven games. Their last five matches included five wins and no draws — a run that speaks to a team finding its rhythm. The substitutes told a different story; Trefferin made three changes while Llandudno brought on only Bennett, who had already scored twice.
Four yellow cards for the hosts against none for the visitors also suggested a game where Trefferin grew increasingly desperate. The result leaves them nine points adrift of safety, assuming the table reflects the current standings accurately. What mattered more than the numbers, though, was the shift in confidence — Llandudno played with purpose, while Trefferin seemed to have lost their shape entirely.
