BLAENAU Ffestiniog Amateurs secured their biggest win of the Lock Stock Welsh Alliance Division One season with a 1-0 triumph at Llandudno Albion.
An extremely strong wind made things difficult for both sides throughout the contest, with the home side spurning a host of opportunities early on that would come back to haunt them early in the second period.
After the break saw Albion have a big shout for a penalty waved away from their opening attack, and things got even worse for the hosts soon after when they fell behind on 48 minutes.
The Quarrymen gained a crucial advantage thanks to prolific forward Meilir Williams, who took advantage of some space and delivered a fine attempt past Liam Jones to break the deadlock.
The home side threw everything at their opponents in the closing stages in pursuit of a leveller, but they were unable to take advantage of any opportunities that came their way.
Division Two side Aberffraw picked up an impressive victory on home soil with a 4-1 success against Llandudno Amateurs.
The hosts broke the deadlock on 35 minutes when an Adam Hallybone delivery was met by Stephen Jenkins, but Sandy Malone’s side responded well and went into the break all square thanks to a long-range thunderbolt from Martyn Byast with 42 on the clock.
After the interval saw Breffo regain their advantage on 50 minutes thanks to a Nathan Moore header from a Kyle Murphy free kick, and the same player was on hand to double their lead following another set piece with nine remaining.
There was still time for the home side to put the exclamation point on proceedings, which came on 89 minutes as Jenkins delivered a free kick that caught the wind and ended up in the net.
