NEWI CEFN DRUIDS 2 (Jones 24, Lewis 71)
RHYL 4 (Connolly 5, Horan 21, M Williams 59 & 72)
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE - APRIL 25, 2009
IN a season where Rhyl have broken several club records today they set one for the Welsh Premier League.
The Lilywhites' final total of 90 points is the highest ever for the WPL in a 34-game season.
The record all-time tally is Barry Town's 105 points in 1996/97 but it took them 40 matches to reach that figure.
On top of that, Rhyl have set five main club records this term:
Most wins: 29
Most goals: 95
Most points: 90
Best ever start: 5 wins
Most successive wins: 12
Before today's match at Plaskynaston Lane, Lilywhites midfielder Gareth Owen received the Daily Post Phil Stanley Memorial Trophy after being chosen by the readers as the WPL's top player for 2008/09. Congratulations Gareth.
Rhyl made the perfect start when after just five minutes Mark Connolly lashed home a superb volley from just outside the box which gave Druids keeper Gerard McGuigan no chance.
It became 2-0 on 21 minutes when George Horan outjumped everyone to head in a Connolly long throw.
Druids, who won 4-3 at Belle Vue back in December, pulled one back three minutes later when Lee T Jones' excellent free-kick could only be helped into the net by Greg Stones.
Neil Roberts tremendous volley was kept out by McGuigan before keeper Lee Kendall atoned for conceding a free-kick by saving Andrew Edgar's header.
Fantastic football from Rhyl almost brought a third goal before the break, Connolly, Owen, Stones and Roberts all involved in a slick passing move before Matthew Williams lashed just over.
HALF-TIME: 1-2.
After a scrappy start to the second period Rhyl scored a goal of true quality on 59 minutes when Danny Williams crossed deep from the right, Luke Holden sidefooted across the six-yard box and Matthew Williams volleyed home.
Cefn were not finished, though, and on 71 minutes a mix-up between Chris Roberts and Paul O'Neill in dealing with a long clearance allowed Geraint Lewis to score with a corking volley.
Less than 60 seconds later, however, Neil Roberts broke into the box down the right and squared to Matthew Williams who brilliantly beat McGuigan from 10 yards.
Williams could have completed a hat-trick but did not connect properly with a Josh Johnson cross.

RHYL: Kendall, Stones (O'Neill 68), C Roberts, Horan, Strong, D Williams (Wilson 61), G Owen, M Williams, N Roberts, Connolly (Johnson 77), Holden.
