RWSTERS END RESERVES' GOOD RUN

WELSH ALLIANCE LEAGUE - FEBRUARY 21, 2009
A WEEK after Rhyl were on top of the world after ending Bethesda's 100% record Jon Stazicker's side came crashing back down to earth at Llanrwst.
The Lilywhites' inconsistent away form which has blighted their season came back to haunt them as they lost for the fifth time on their travels in the Welsh Alliance.
Llanrwst had been the last side to defeat Rhyl, a 3-0 result at Belle Vue on December 6, but since then the Lilies had won five on the bounce.
The only goal came in the first half when Lee Allen sidefooted across the box for Luke Roberts to score from close range.
Rhyl were well below par, their biggest threat being top scorer Mike Roose who fired one good effort just past the post.
In the second period the Lilies were much improved but their finishing failed them.
Tom Roberts sliced wide from close range, Tom Patel had a header well saved by Paul Roberts and Roose beat the keeper with a chip but the ball only found the side-netting.
Kieron Evans went closest for the travelling side but saw his shot cleared off the goal-line. Rhyl were worthy of a draw, but their dire first half display ultimately proved their downfall.
To complete a miserable day Bethesda won 2-0 at Pwllheli and knocked Rhyl off the top.
