Gresford Athletic 1 Llanrhaeadr 1

GUILSFIELD ended 2019 with a solid point on the road at Gresford Athletic.

The visitors enjoyed a dream start when Iain Edmunds' fourth minute free-kick was cleared as far as Matty Williams who volleyed home from 10 yards.

However the lead was short lived with the hosts replying eight minutes later with Jake Eyre rounding Llanrhaeadr goalkeeper Jimmy Hayns to slot into an empty net.

Gresford dominated the remainder of the first-half but struggled to create any clear openings.

Llanrhaeadr rode out the storm and ended the half on top with Tom Gale testing home goalkeeper John Hill-Dunt.

Llanrhaeadr started the second-half brightly with Williams spurning openings before Hayns was called into action at the other end to save Owen Roberts' headed effort.

Both sides battled for the winner for the remainder of the game without creating any further chances as the match ended all square at Clappers Lane.
