Chirk fought out a 1-1 draw at Holyhead Road against visitors Castell Alun. The game was a drab affair with chances limited for both sides. Chirk opened the scoring on six minutes after Chris Evans and Derek Lloyd carved out an opening in the visitors defence, for striker Gareth Roberts to hit his thirteenth goal of the season from 10 yards out. Alun forward Wilkins wasted two good chances leading up to half time with the forward firing wide on both occasions. Second half saw Alun score within 10 minutes of the restart , with Wilkins latching on to a long throw off Summerville, his low right foot shot eluding Valentine in goal to level the score. Chirk's Darren Jones missed a glorious chance to put his side back into the lead on 70 minutes after a Jon Paul Wood free kick saw him unmarked, his effort passing the wrong side of the post from six yards out. Both Summerville and Wilkins tested Valentine with long range efforts, with the Chirk stopper having to save well from Summerville's 25 yard strike. Both sides ran out of steam in the final third of the game, with the visitors just shading the match in terms of possession.
