League leaders Airbus Broughton are on a sizzling 100 per cent start to the Huws Gray Alliance season.

Airbus are intent on regaining their place in the Welsh Premier and have started 2018-19 with 12 wins from 12 fixtures.

Their latest Alliance win was a 2-0 success against Denbigh Town with Asa Hamilton netting a goal in each half.

The next test for the Wingmakers is at Holywell Town, while Airbus were on JD Sports Welsh Cup duty last weekend.

Action fro Airbus UK v Denbigh in the Alliance.

They cruised into the third round with a crushing 9-1 demolition of Llay Welfare at the Hollingsworth Group Stadium.

Welsh National League visitors Llay struggled to cope with the fluent and clinical Wingmakers who dominated from the second minute when Curtis Strong cut into the box from the left and fired past ‘keeper Kyle Flower.

A Joe Chaplin effort was well saved, while Hamilton was denied by an offside flag after netting from a Brady McGilloway cross.

A ball over the top found Chaplin and he lobbed advancing Flower before Matty McGinn fired a shot into the corner from 25 yards.

Lewis Buckley hammered a shot against the bar and the ball dropped down over the line.

The same player added another just before the break and, although Llay went close from a free-kick just after the break, it was Airbus who scored again when McGinn spotted Flower off his line and looped a 30-yarder into the net.

Nathan Quirk hit the bar and James Hooper was narrowly wide before converting at close range from a Strong cross.

 A poor back pass caught keeper Dave Roberts in no mans’ land and Alister Gibson took advantage to score a consolation goal for the visitors.

Chaplin added the eighth for Airbus and Quirk rounded off the scoring.

Flint Town United sealed three points with an injury time goal for the second consecutive game, this 3-2 at Prestatyn Town. 

Flint were ahead after three minutes thanks to a Richie Foulkes goal. Dan Roberts equalised for Prestatyn only for Foulkes to net a second to give Flint the half-time advantage. 

A Danny Davies goal brought the scores level after 65 minutes only for Flint to have the last word with a Jake Hampson goal five minutes into added on time

Bangor City hammered nine without reply against visitors Llanrhaeadr YM. Alex Darlington led the scoring with four, while Jordon Piggott, Jake Phillips, Marc Williams, Jacob Farleigh and Robbie Parry were also on target.

Rhyl appear to be running into form as they made it four successive wins with a 5-2 victory at Buckley Town. They led 2-1 at the break with Mike Pritchard and Kristian Pierce on target, Keiron Moore netting the Buckley goal. 

Rhyl piled on the pressure in the second half with goals from man of the match Matt Cooke (2) and Matthew Worrall. Aron Williams netted Buckley’s second

Conwy Borough and Penrhyncoch drew 2-2. After a goalless first half Stef Davies scored twice to put Penrhyn in control only for Borough to flight back for a draw thanks to a Corrig McGonigle double. His second came from a last minute penalty.

Guilsfield were at home against Porthmadog. The match was goalless at half-time with Steve Blenkinsop failing from a penalty. 

Second half goals from Iwan Lewis and Shaun Cavanagh gave Porth the points

Second half strikes from Steve Lewis and Shaun Tuck earned Holywell an away win at Holyhead Hotspur.

Ruthin Town took a 21st minute lead at home to Gresford Athletic. Gwion Owen was on target and a second from Tom Mann in the last minute ensured Holywell took the points.
