Bow Street hit for six by Denbugh in cup final thrashing

BOW Street endured a nightmare day after being thoroughly outclassed by Denbigh Town in the final of the Ardal North League Cup in Caersws on Satueday.

The north Wales club opened the scoring as early as the third minute when Bow Street goalkeeper Ben Willis spilled a low cross from the left and Paul Fleming was on hand to tuck the ball into an empty net.

Fleming double his tally just five minutes later when a cross from out on the right found him in space at the far post before lashing a first-time effort into the top corner of the Magpies' goal.

The Ceredigion men halved the deficit when Dafydd Carruthers beat Aaron Jones from the edge of the penalty area after an initial free-kick was blocked by the Denbigh Town defensive wall.

However Denbigh were back on top when Matthew Worrall was given the time and space to fire an effort into the bottom corner of the net after 29 minutes.

Denbigh Town extended their advantage five minutes later when Ben Lockley's long throw into the penalty area was flicked on and Nathan Brown was on hand to head past Willis from close range.

Willis slipped to hand Worrall the simplest of goals before the break with the Magpies' No1's miderable day ending with injury as he was replaced by Tom Roberts.

The double winners only added one further goal after the interval when substitute Jake Walker headed home a 62nd minute cross from the right to cap a successful afternoon in the sun for Dewi Llion Jones' men.

Bow Street manager Llyr Hughes received a second yellow card from referee Iolo Williams seven minutes later to compound a miserable day for the Magpies.
