Chirk AAA 3-1 Brickfield Rangers

Chirk gained three valuable points against Brickfield Rangers at Holyhead Road. Chirk started in the best possible fashion when they were awarded a very dubious penalty within the first five minutes of play. Up stepped forward Anthony Jones who duly dispatched the spot kick with relish to give his side an early lead. Chirk scored their second courtesy of Ben Davies with the youngster bagging his first goal of the season. Second half Brickfield came out in determined mood dominating play for the opening 15 minutes, with both Pinard and Hoosan combining well to cause the home side problems. The visitors were soon rewarded when a mistake by Chirk's Darren Jones let in Wheatley, whose pass to Pryde was whipped into the Chirk penalty area for the unmarked Griffiths to score from five yards out. Chirk needed all the experience of veteran defender Mike Hughes to steady the ship alongside fellow defenders Jones and Nash as Brickfield continued to press. Chirk had Davies to thank for their third goal on 75 minutes, with him coolly placing the ball beyond the reach of keeper Platt from 20 yards out after a goalmouth scramble. This sucker punch took the sting out of the visitors play with Chirk gaining in confidence as the game went on. Forward Anthony Jones saw an effort beat Platt only to hit the post while at the other end Brickfields Griffiths should of added his second goal of the afternoon only to shoot wide from close range. Chirk sub Mike Nash missed a glorious chance to increase his sides lead in the dying seconds with him shooting wide from 10 yards out before the ref blew for full time. Manager Dudley Hall will be pleased with his sides performance which is their second home win on the trot.
