Denbigh Town came away from Llanaudno on Friday night with just a point to show for their efforts as the hosts hit two late goals to snatch a draw.

Nathan Brown’s two superb finishes - taking the forward to joint third in the club’s all-time second tier scorers chart - weren’t enough as hurricane like conditions bombarded the town box throughout the second half, where in reality Town did well to hold out for a point.

Dewi Llion made two changes to the side with Aaron Jones and Kyle Cooper unavailable, opting to hand debuts to Elijah Beattie and Jordan Pownall.

It took Town just four minutes to take the lead at Maesdu Park when Brown and Bobby Beaumont linked up brilliantly down the left before the former smashed the ball home from the edge of the box.

The quick start continued with Brown again causing issues for the Llandudno back line with 13 on the clock, he raced forward before being cut down 30-yards out just right of centre. He stood over the free-kick before rifling the ball into the top right corner to double the advantage, marking two milestone goals for the winger.

Three minutes later Town were in the hunt for their third when Brown found Sam Duffy who tested the keeper with a low effort, but it was easily matched.

Llandudno finally got a grip on the game but were still struggling to create anything, After 34 minutes a ball into Denbigh’s box was cleared and they broke via Davies who threaded a pass through to Brown who couldn’t get the right connection on his effort.

The best chance of the first half for Llandudno came just two minutes before the break when a free-kick from deep was delivered into the Town box, only for Mark Cadwallader to head it wide.

Half-Time: Llandudno 0-2 Denbigh Town

Whilst the elements certainly had some effect in the first half, they dominated the game in the second. High winds swirled in the direction of the Denbigh goal with debutant Beattie truly being tested on his maiden voyage in a Denbigh shirt.

The half began as it would go on with long balls pumped into the Town half to put the backline under the cosh. The closest Llandudno went to pulling one back came six minutes into the restart when a long throw fell into the box before being directed towards goal, only for Beattie to claw it off the line.

Wave after wave of attack came with Denbigh unable to clear their lines, and that isn’t anything against Town’s back four and ‘keeper, the wind simply wouldn’t allow them to. A cross from the right struck the top of the crossbar but the home sides’ long punts forward struggled to stick with Denbigh happy to see them fly behind for a goal kick.

With three minutes to go Llandudno finally had one back with 42 minutes of constant bombardment. A ball across goal found Cadwallader who bundled it home to give hope to the home side. With five minutes of injury time indicated, it took until the final one for the second when a loose ball fell to Alex Boss who smashed it into the back of the net to see the points shared.

Denbigh are next in action on Saturday in a historic JD Welsh Cup Quarter-Final.
