In a thrilling battle between Cymru Hotspurs and visiting Prestatyn Athletic, the hosts went in at the break 4-2 in front, with Jordan Taylor netting all four for Hotspurs. But doubles from Ben Cawley and James Stead and singles from Tom Roberts, Rhys Lewis and Chad Marsden saw Prestatyn fight back for a magnificent 7-5 success.

Shotton’s Jamie Wynne was on target but his goal proved in vain as Llandyrnog ran out 3-1 winners.
