This was the day the destiny of the title was significantly `decided’, leaders Morawelon had a daunting away fixture at fifth placed Llangoed & District, and despite the hosts `hot shot’, Corrig McGonigle, hitting a brace, and Morawelon suffering a dismissal, their `deadly Duo’ ensured the points were Holyhead bound. Or to be more exact, on this occasion, it was one half of the Duo, that was firing on all cylinders, and that was Gary Jo’ Owen who grabbed a hat-trick. It took the visitors just one minute to open the scoring, with Jordan Murphy claiming a double and needless to say Asa Thomas ensured his name was on the scorers list.
Second placed Tigers with several players missing through a mix of injury, work commitments, and holidays faced a difficult hurdle at in form Cemaes Bay. It proved to be just that as the first half ended goal=-less. But six minutes after the restart, Callum McMinimee, in a rich scoring vein recently, put the hosts ahead and it looked ominous for the visitors. That is for nine minutes.............. when Wayne Thomas grabbed the equalizer and three minutes later the Tigers roared ahead with Darren Gowans finding the net. No doubt thinking the three points were theirs, the visitors were confident but on 80mins Steve Mason equalized, so it looked like a share of the points would have to do...... that is until a corner in injury time saw Steve Hughes dramatic winner that almost sees the Morawelon `ribbons’ being tied to the trophy.
In the final game, Llanfairpwll Reserves were surprise winners at Llandegfan Antelope taking the points, courtesy of the odd goal in five. Sion Morris led the way with a brace and was joined on the score-sheet by Johnny Roberts. Jamie Davies and Nick Woodhall were the Lope marksmen , as they continue to slide out of the top three, not having won a point since their single goal defeat in the final of the William Hill Elias Cup at Bangor city F.C. Whilst the win lifts Llan’ out of the bottom two.
