Guils hit four as Roosters on cusp of survival

The bragging rights went to Guilsfield as they put four past near neighbours Caersws in the Cymru North - with Gavin Allen’s side eyeing a strong end to the season.

An indifferent run of form since the turn of the year had seen the Guils slipped out of the top six.

But two wins in their last three games sees them in seventh and a victory on the final day of the season could well be enough to see them into the top six spots.

In their latest outing against the Bluebirds they were the far superior side - with Sam Flory leading the way as he hit a hat-trick.

And the victory sets them up nicely for another home clash on the final day of the campaign - as they welcome Gresford Athletic.

A lot of the heavy lifting in the game was done by half time - as the Guils raced into a comfortable lead.

Flory continues to have an impressive campaign in Welsh football having arrived from Whitchurch Alport last summer.

He edged his side into a 21st minute lead and within five minutes it was two - as Callum Bromley set the forward up for his second goal.

With half time approaching Caersws did response - as Craig Harris set up Ashley Jones to pull one back for the Bluebirds.

But just seconds later the two goal buffer was restored.

This time Flory turned provider and he set up Ryan Knott to make it 3-1.

And within four minutes of the restart the game was dead and buried and Flory had his hat-trick when he fired home from the penalty spot.

It was his ninth goal of the league campaign and his 15th in all competitions.

Sws made changes to try and turn the tide of the game but it was to no avail - as they were well beaten.

However, desptie the result they do look like they are all but safe.

Sides are bunched at the bottom of the league and they could get dragged into it on the final day final as they welcome Denbigh Town.

And Penrhyncoch are all but safe as they thumped Gresford Athletic 4-1 in Ceredigion.

They were behind after seven minutes when James Smith put the visitors in front.

But they quickly responded as Niall Coleridge set up Rhydian Davies for the equaliser.

After the break Coleridge was the provider again as he set up John James - before a hat-trick of assists were secured when he found Dan Owen for a third.

And the icing was on the cake late on as Gethin Williams-Evans came off the bench to add a fourth.

The result leaves the Roosters three points above the drop zone when one game to go against Rhyl.

And barring a big swing in goal difference they will be playing second tier football again next season.
