Football: Ruthin Town FC clinch late winner

RUTHIN TOWN 2 LLANFAIRPWLL 1

CYMRU ALLIANCE

SION Roberts’ 88th minute clincher ensured Ruthin continue to fly high in fourth spot.

Town were worthy winners; the woodwork came to the visitors’ rescue twice in the first half before the hosts piled on even more pressure after the break.

Llanfair keeper Ben Heald had to be at his best to keep Ruthin at bay but he was beaten on the hour, Mike Robinson with a far post finish after a very harsh free- kick award against Nedian Huws.

Richard Owen slammed in a 72nd minute penalty to equalise after his run into the area was illegally impeded and it became end-to- end after that.

The standard of football on a very boggy pitch was a credit to both sides and it could have gone either way in the latter stages, but the home side had the final say.

A Ben Collins corner into a packed goalmouth caused havoc with Roberts credited with the goal.
