RESERVES BEATEN AT LLANRUG

Although Rhyl are still a point clear at the Welsh Alliance summit, second placed Bethesda have four games in hand. Glan Conwy, in third, are just three points behind Rhyl also having played four matches less.
With Rhyl facing the daunting prospect of travelling to Bethesda next Saturday, that game has already become a must win encounter for the Lilies.
In the first half at Eithin Duon on Saturday, Stazicker and Ainsworth's charges played some good football but missed too many chances.
Rhyl took an eighth minute lead when Mike Roose crossed into the path of Andy Booker who slotted in his first goal for the club.
Booker's header then look set to go in until the ball hit running team-mate Roose. Mitchell Booth's superb strike was brilliantly saved by Dave Ball, then Jack Robers bent a 20-yard free-kick against the bar.
Michael White's shot reared up off the leg of Ball and Roose had the simplest of tasks but missed an open goal before Booker's top corner bound screamer prompted a tremendous save.
In the second half Rhyl fatally eased off the gas, and on 53 minutes Martin Bohana's free header at the far post levelled the scores.
Ball was proving a real thorn in the side of the visitors, pulling off magnificent saves from Booker and Roose as Rhyl sought a winner.
There was to be a deciding goal - but it came from Llanrug eight minutes from time. Player manager Aled Owen was allowed too much space to take on the defence and fire past Jamie Jones to leave Rhyl totally stunned.
RHYL RESERVES: Jamie Jones, Joe Ahern, Scott Millington, Adam France, Tom Roberts, Jack Roberts, Michael White, Mitchell Booth, Andy Booker, Mike Roose, Alec Williams. Substitutes: Sean Morgan, Sam Brewerton, Ashley Calland.
