THE GAFFER HAPPY WITH A POINT AWAY FROM HOME
11th September 2019
“Even though we went to Port last night with the intention of picking up all three points we have to be happy with a point away from home to a team that finished third last season.
We started well and took the lead early in the first half but I was left frustrated with conceding 2 “sloppy” goals to go in at the break 2-1 down. A few words were said in the dressing room at half time and I was looking for a response in the second half. I thought we started much brighter, we were more organised and we stepped up a gear. We should have levelled the scores when Iwan Jones was inches away at the far post from getting on the end of a great cross by Cai Powell-Roberts. We kept knocking on the door and asking questions of the Porthmadog defence and our equaliser came with what I can only describe as a screamer from Callum McMinimee and a goal he thoroughly deserves for his efforts so far this season.
I have to give credit to the lads tonight, they showed great character to come back from behind and not for the first time this season we showed what type of players we have in this squad. I told them before the match that I felt this game was going to be the toughest match we have had so far due to them having some familiar faces with a point to prove and they were desperate to get some points on the board. There is no doubt they have some quality players in their squad and I feel that they will soon go on a bit of a run.
We go again now on Friday night at home to Bangor City, another tough match that we are looking forward to. We hope to get a big crowd to support the lads.”
RESERVES LATE GOAL SALVAGES A POINT
9th September 2019
Luke Waller's 90th minute equaliser earned Llangefni Town Reserves a valuable point away at Penmaenmawr Phoenix Reserves on Saturday. Phoenix took the lead after 8 minutes when Sean Williams seemed to foul a Llangefni defender but the referee waved play on and Williams finished low passed Connor Roberts. The visitors reacted positively to going a goal down and created many chances before Waller found the bottom far corner from close range after a great through ball by centre back John Alex Jones. The second half was end to end with both teams creating chances but Phoenix took the lead on 75 minutes after winning a very soft penalty. Hadyn Williams coverted his spot kick to make it 2-1. Penmaenmawr's keeper was proving to be thorn in Cefni's side, making at least 4 fantastic saves in the last 15 minutes but the visitors perseverance was eventually rewarded in the 90th minute when Dion Owen played a great ball to Waller on the right wing who cut inside and once again found the bottom far corner with a powerful drive. Llangefni will be slightly disappointed not to have taken all 3 points considering the amount of chances they created but they showed a lot of character to come back twice and earn a decent point away from home.
2-2 DRAW V BUCKLEY TOWN
8th September 2019
Llangefni Town came from a goal behind to secure a 2-2 draw following an entertaining match at home to Buckley Town.
The visitors started the brightest having a goal disallowed on 4 minutes, due to an infringement on Cefni’s keeper Tyler French. But it was Cefni who took the lead on 10 minutes, a quick one two between Craig Roberts & Matthew Jones found Gari Owen on the left who’s cut back made its way to Iwan Jones to blast in his first of the season.
Buckley were equal after 32 minutes, Lewis Hone flicked on a long throw but a sliced clearance by Cefni’s Craig Roberts found its way in to his own net to make it 1-1.
Just past the hour mark, a half cleared corner landed at the feet of Eden who’s looping shot found its way over French to make it 2-1 for Buckley Town.
Three minutes later Cefni were equal, a first time cross from Callum Mcminimee towards the advancing Mathew Jones in the 6 yard area with Callum Humphreys getting the unfortunate last touch for an own goal.
Next up is Porthmadog away on Tuesday 7:30 kickoff before the local derby v Bangor City on Friday.

FIRST TEAM DEFEATED AT CONWY
1st September 2019
It was a bad day at the office for Llangefni as they suffered a 4 - 0 defeat away to Conwy Borough.
Tomos Clarke steered a corner into the net with 17 minutes on the clock to open the scoring. Things got even better for the hosts soon after when McGonigle‘s pinpoint free kick flew into the corner.
Chris Roberts’ side did not find the same level of performance to what they have produced so far this term, and they were undone again after the break when Liam Morris, came back to haunt his old club on 66 minutes when his powerful effort went in off the crossbar.
There was still time for the home side to put the exclamation point on proceedings, and once again it was McGonigle who produced a moment of magic with a superb individual run that was matched by a finish that nestled in the top corner with 87 on the clock to round off the scoring.
Next up is Buckley Town on Saturday. 2:30 kickoff
