GLAN Conwy suffered a blow to their title chances with a 4-1 defeat at Lock Stock Welsh Alliance Division Two leaders Blaenau Amateurs.

The home side made an imposing start to proceedings and got their noses in front after 12 minutes when Bryn Humphries continued his excellent recent form with another neat finish, and things looked increasingly bleak for the visitors when Tom Hughes doubled their advantage after another strong period of play with 28 gone.

After the interval saw the hosts tighten their grip on the contest through the prolific Humphreys, who notched his second of the afternoon in fine style after 65 minutes.

The away side found a route back into the contest shortly after when in-form Jordan Phillips reduced the arrears, but they were unable to find another despite throwing caution to the wind and were caught on the break two minutes from time with Hughes also sealing his brace.

Mochdre Sports also had nothing to show for their efforts as they were beaten 402 at home by Pentraeth.

Mark Holland and Josh Owen did the damage for the visitors, with both hitting two goals apiece, and despite an own goal and a solitary Cameron West strike it was not enough to prevent Sports’ fourth defeat in seven league contests.
