Two sent off as Llandudno are beaten

LLANDUDNO had two players sent off as they suffered a major blow to their hopes of catching the top two in the Cymru Alliance with a 3-1 home defeat to Holyhead Hotspur on Wednesday (Nov 12).
In a game they badly needed to win, Gwyn Peters was denied an early goal by good save from the Holyhead keeper, before the Anglesey side took the lead on 16 minutes when Marc Evans broke clear and rounded keeper Sean Pearson to score.
Llandudno were level a minute later when Chris Boulton scored with a header from a Paul Roberts cross, but six minutes later Ken Owen got Holyhead's second in a goalmouth scramble.
Much of the play after was scrappy but red cards for Joe Morgan and Lee Thomas, continuing their poor disciplinary records for the club, left Llandudno to fight on with nine men, and Holyhead added a third two minutes from the end with Ken Owen scoring his second of the game.
The result puts second-placed Holyhead seven points clear of Llandudno with two games in hand.
