Tywyn Bryncrug revitalized their campaign for the MMP Central Wales League North title with a commanding 5–2 victory over Abermule on March 30, 2024. After a disappointing spell that saw them secure just one point from their last two matches, Tywyn’s win significantly narrows the gap to the league leaders, Carno, who suffered a 3–0 defeat to Four Crosses on the same day. Both teams have now played 17 matches, with only three points separating them.
Tywyn took the initiative early in the match, with Aaron Rodgers finding the net to give them a deserved lead at halftime. The visitors returned from the break with renewed vigor, as both Aled Jones and Cullen Rodgers scored within the first hour, extending Tywyn’s command. Despite a response from Abermule’s Keane Marks, Tywyn quickly reasserted their dominance with goals from Iwan Richards and Nick Williams. Although Shayne Kelle added a late second for Abermule, Tywyn’s points were already secured.
Title Race Tightens with Key Wins
The weekend’s matches further intensified the title race. Four Crosses’ victory over Carno not only bolstered their own position but also added pressure to the league leaders. Goals from George Lloyd, Rueben Coslet-Hughes, and Isaac Dawson sealed a comprehensive win that leaves them in a strong position.
In a contrasting match, Dolgellau Reserves faced a challenging afternoon, suffering an 8–0 defeat against third-placed Llansantffraid Village. Early goals from Elijah-King Richards and a Jac Kelly own goal set the tone, before Huzaif Abubakari added a penalty to make it three by halftime. Richards later completed his hat-trick, joined by goals from Delcio Jaime Neto, Callum Wilson, and Alexandro Mane Intchasso.
Meanwhile, Waterloo Rovers kept their title hopes alive with a decisive 7–2 win over Dyffryn Banw. Adam Gough shone with a hat-trick, while contributions from Sam Evans, Matthew Brasenell, Benjamin Pugh, and Jake Mantell solidified their strong performance. The hosts managed two goals from Efan Davies, but it was not enough to turn the tide.
The drama of the weekend concluded with a thrilling match between Montgomery Town and Forden United. Jack Williams scored a stoppage-time winner, sealing a hard-fought 3–2 victory. Earlier in the match, Jake O’Donnell had scored twice for Montgomery, only to see his efforts cancelled out by Williams before he secured the win.
