Denbigh Town returned to winning ways in spectacular style on Saturday with their joint-biggest-ever win in the second tier. Town travelled to Llanidloes at the weekend where an Owen Davies hatrick, Paul Fleming brace and strikes from Nathan Brown and Billy Holmes saw Town romp home in a 7-0 win. It was Denbigh’s last away game of the campaign and what a way to mark it.

Bangor 1876 were also victorious in mid-Wales on Saturday when they triumphed 2-1 away at Guilsfield. Liam Morris and Iolo Hughes were on the scoresheet as 1876 picked up three points. It put to rights their defeat five days previous where in their final home game of the campaign Llandudno ran rampant in a 3-0 win via Harvey Bennett and an Ethan Roberts double.

Head-to-Head

Our last meeting with Bangor came at Nantporth back in August, with the home side taking the points in a 2-1 victory. Sam Jones and Jamie Petrie netted for Bangor whilst Craig Pritchard pulled one back in the second half.

We met three times last season with Town taking all three victories, including two at Central Park. One came in the league as Denbigh pipped Bangor to the title with help from a 1-0 win via a Matthew Worrall strike, whilst the other match in Denbighshire ended 3-1 to Denbigh as skipper Paul Fleming scored a sensational hatrick on route to winning the Lock Stock Ardal Northern League Cup.

Stat Pack

Billy Holmes could make his 100th league appearance for Denbigh Town on Friday night.

Nathan Brown could make his 75th appearance for the club in all competitions.

This will be just the sixth league meeting between the two sides since 1929. We’ve shared seventeen seasons in the previous 131 years, with the first coming in 1893/94 in the old North Wales Coast League, the next two (1909/10, 1910/11) in the Combination League, three further seasons in the Coast League (1913/14, 1919/20, 1920/21) and the majority (1921-29) in the Welsh National League. After 1929 the two wouldn’t meet in the league until Bangor were relegated to the Cymru Alliance in 2018, 89 years later.

Total League Record: Denbigh Town Wins: 10, Bangor Wins: 20, Draws: 3.
