Important win as United take bragging rights.

Llandyrnog United took the bragging rights on Saturday in horrid conditions as they edged out St Asaph to take all three much needed points.
United were still without 4 key players but once again full credit to the new Llandyrnog youngsters that were on hand to step in.
New signing Matty Evans was handed his debut after transferring from Ruthin Town Friday afternoon and made an instant impact working tirelessly all game but it was captain Dan Jones who broke the deadlock on the half hour mark with a brilliant finish from just inside the 18 yard box after some great play down the left from returning Danny Roberts and Sion Davies.
Ryan Goldston was quick off his line to clear a St Asaph attack but was caught with a boot and after some treatment was able to carry on much to the delight of the United bench.

St Aspah pulled things level with only minutes played of the second half when Jason Faulkes after a short corner drilled the ball back into the Dyrny box only for it to go through 4 players and find its way into the United goal, a poor goal to concede which really gave St Asaph a boost and now playing with the wind on their side they were looking for the winner.
17 yr old Goldston was on hand to make two fines saves for United both destined for the back of the net while Dyrny continued to try to reinstate their lead with Danny Roberts and Matty Evans both going close the other end.
With just under 10 minutes to go, Goldston played a brilliant ball to Danny Roberts on the left and he picked out Matty Evans with a perfect cross who rose to meet it at the back post and head home the all important winner and his first goal for the club, debuts don't get much better than that.
Manager Aled Davies found it hard to pick a man of the match with every player working tirelessly, especially youngsters Tom Weyman and Liam Roberts both showing age beyond their years but both sides agreed that man of the match award went to Aled Roberts who controlled United's back 4 all game and really put his body on the line.
