Conwy secure 3-0 win against Llandudno

Conwy Borough produced a dominant display to beat local rivals Llandudno 3-0 at Y Morfa.

Aden Shannon's header got the Tangerines off to a flyer, before Kyle Wilson's brace made the 3 points secure.

In tribute to the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster a minute's silence was observed before the match and kick off was postponed for 7 minutes, like many across the country this weekend.

Conwy came into the game on the back of two straight defeats and made a number of changes to the starting XI, including a rare start for assistant manager Shannon.

Shannon showed why he is still the club's top scorer this season, heading home an Ellis Healing corner in the second minute.

Llandudno responded well to going a goal down so early in the game and had a sustained spell of possession in the opening exchanges.

They were unable to trouble Boro keeper Louie Mackin and it was actually Conwy that threatened next.

Healing cut in from the left wing, having received a diagonal ball from Mackin, and his cross come shot rattled the bar on the way over.

It wasn't long before it was two, Healing again finding space on the left and this time threading an accurate cross field through ball for Wilson to run onto.

The former Crewe Alexandra forward made no mistake, firing across Connor Wearing to double the advantage at the interval.

It could have been three before the break but Wearing did well to stay on his feet when Chris King had found Shannon in behind, the striker could only hit the side netting when shooting from an acute angle.

Conwy continued to work hard in the second half and Llandudno were unable to cope with the intense pressure they were under when on the ball.

The third came about when Shannon battled well to win the ball off Joel Richardson and raced clear of the visitor's defenders.

Having committed Wearing, the veteran striker unselfishly squared the ball for Wilson to slide home into an empty net.

In the dying minutes Phil Doran almost added a fourth, the marauding full back drove into the box but pulled his shot inches wide of the far post.

Manager Darren Moss was delighted with the win and stressed the importance of winning derby matches.

'It means a lot to me and a lot to the people that work within the club so I'm chuffed to bits for them', he said.

The win moves the Tangerines two points behind Caernarfon ahead of next Saturday's trip to Buckley for the final game of the season.
