Denbigh Town equalled their biggest winning margin in the second tier on Saturday with a convincing 7-0 away win over Llanidloes Town.

A hatrick from Owen Davies and Billy Holmes’ first goal in two years would prove to be the headline as Town equalled a record lasting 27 years - Incidently that game in 1996 ended 8-1 to Denbigh against Llanidloes.

Davies netted the trio along with Holmes alongside a brace from Paul Fleming and superb effort from Nathan Brown.

It ends a winless run of four matches and finishes Denbigh’s away campaign.

Dewi Llion named one change to the side as Max Cooke came in to the starting XI in the place of Morgan Thomas-Sadler.

Town began the game as they would continue for the next 90 minutes firmly on top. It took just two minutes for the first foray into the hosts’ box as Davies appeared to be hacked down in the area but any claims were waved away by the referee.

The pressure mountain even in the earliest of moments as Brown and Ben Lockley both had efforts blocked as the pressure was rampt up. Eventually, that pressure told on 28 minutes when a Brown free-kick struck the post before skipper Fleming cleaned up from the rebound to give Denbigh the lead.

The advantage was doubled ten minutes later as Owen Davies was fed down the right by Fleming before slotting it underneath the body of the goalkeeper. The TNS loanee had his second of the afternoon just four minutes later when a quick thinking Brown took a free-kick promptly, slotting through Davies who finished with ease.

Half-Time: Llanidloes Town 0-3 Denbigh Town

Within five minutes of the restart Denbigh extended their advantage. Dion Gibbins played a long ball forward for Brown who rushing through lobbed the goalkeeper from 35-yards to surely put the game to bed.

Davies completed his hatrick on 54 minutes by firing through a crowd of bodies before surely the highlight of the match. Holmes hasn’t scored for Denbigh since April 6th 2021 in a league encounter with St Asaph, exactly two years later he finally broke the long goalless streak. And what a way to do it, making a superb run through the middle of the park he beat several defenders before smashing it into the bottom right corner with the outside of his left boot.

Holmes turned provider on 66 minutes when his superb cross found the head of Fleming to nod home a net busting effort and round off an absolutely outstanding afternoon.

Town came close to adding to the lead, substitute Rhys Lloyd’s header was just about saved at the far post but Town will be more than happy with their final away trip of the season.
