Carno still favourites for Mid Wales title

A host of games were played across the last week in the MMP Central Wales League North - as sides look to conclude their campaigns.

On Tuesday, Berriew hit Abermule for seven as they picked up a 7-1 victory on the road.

It was a superb night for Richard Davies who rammed in five goals for the visitors in a thumping victory.

Elsewhere, Isaac Dawson scored a 95th minute equaliser for Four Crosses as they snatched a point at home to Bishops Castle Town.

In the other Tuesday evening game, it was Forden United who came out on top as last season’s promotion chasers beat Llanfyllin Town 2-0.

Top marksman Jake O’Donnell and and substitute Harvey Brooks bagged the goals.

On Friday, Forden were back in action as they took on Carno and they went down 2-0 against the second placed side.

Llewellyn Jerman picked up the opening goal after just eight minute with Oli Lewis’ second half strike ensuring the points went to the visitors.

It was a hotly contested derby in Montgomeryshire as Welshpool Town and near neighbours Waterloo Rovers played out a six goal thriller.

The arch rivals are separated by little more than a field - with Waterloo making the short trip over to the Recreation Ground.

Ethan Kinsey put Welshpool in front after just four minutes but the game had turned around by the break.

Two goals in the space of three minutes at the end of the second half from Ben Pugh and Adam Gough gave Waterloo the half time lead.

Max McLaughlin then made it 3-1 on the hour mark but the game was far from done.

Kinsey bagged his second seven minutes from the end of normal time to reduce the deficit.

But there was to be no late drama from Welshpool as McLaughlin’s second a minute into added time finished off the hosts.

On Saturday, further games went ahead as Bishops Castle Town put four without reply past Dolgellau Reserves. Tom Edwards led the way with a double.

Barmouth were narrow 2-1 winners over Llanfyllin Town - while Llansantffraid Village kept their faint promotion hopes alive as they beat neighbours Four Crosses 3-0.

Jaime Neto bagged the opener in first half stoppage time - before he scored a second after half time shortly after Hagi Drammeh had got himself on the scoresheet.

The result means Ffraid stay a point ahead of Carno with just one game to go.

However, the second placed side have three games in hand over the league leaders, and still remain the firm favourites to go on and take the title.

And Waterloo Rovers could still take second as they also have two games in hand on Ffraid.
