Denbigh Town smashed Llanidloes for six and made it two home games on the bounce in which they’ve scored a sextet of goals.

Nathan Brown (brace), Josh Lock (brace), Tom Weir and Paul Fleming brushed the visitors aside in an impressive display at LL16.

Dewi Llion made changes to the side that lost to Porthmadog a week previous, with Keiron Roberts coming into the side and Kristian Pierce forced to step in between the sticks for the absent Aaron Jones.

The game began following a minute’s silence for Denbigh Ladies original Karen Coates who tragically passed away this week, with both sides remembering her and her contribution to the club.

It took just four minutes for Town to take the lead as Weir threaded a wonderful pass for Fleming to smash home from the right of the box at a tight angle.

Town started superbly and almost had two when Lock breezed through down the left but couldn’t pull the trigger, instead being denied by a defender just yards out. Craig Pritchard had some similar fortune when running at the back-line before being hacked down on the edge of the box. Seconds later Brown curled the set-piece to the right of the keeper to double the advantage.

Denbigh were dominant and continued their wave of pressure throughout, Craig Rogers’ low cross just evaded both Weir and Fleming before Lock chipped the keeper from 40-yards before it crept inches over the crossbar.

Brown almost had his second on the half-hour mark when he pickpocketed Jordan Ambris before being denied by the keeper. Rogers was having success down the left but during a rare foray down the opposite flank, he crossed for Fleming who couldn’t turn his header on target.

Just before the break Town had three when Weir had it on the edge of the box, hit one towards the bottom corner but without much purpose, and Brown helped it on to round off a superb half.

Half-Time: Denbigh Town 3-0 Llanidloes Town

Seven minutes into the second period the visitors pulled one back as Adam Worton rose highest to nod them back into the game, but Denbigh were having none of it. Within the same minute, Weir made a run down the left and slammed it into the bottom corner to slam the door back in the visitors' faces.

The game had five goals already and didn’t look like stopping, Lock - who had his chances earlier in the afternoon - finally had his goal when bursting down the flank and squeezing the ball past Luke Evans.

Jason Foulkes was one of five players introduced from the bench and he almost made an immediate impact when he caused havoc for the back four, getting a shot away from an angle and striking the post.

Danny Clarke another sub also had his chances, swivelling and hitting one against the side netting before making an incredible run down the middle before being denied by Evans.

Connor Bird, the top marksman for Llanidloes nodded home a second for the visitors following a great initial save from Pierce but Town replied immediately as Lock had his second and Denbigh’s sixth. He waltzed past everyone after picking it up in the middle of the park and struck it home via the post just before stoppage time.

In the dying embers, James Smallwood rattled the crossbar for Llanidloes but the game was set and Town picked up maximum points.
