Clwyd East League
Flint Mountain 1 Point of Ayr 2 (att 16)
The first time I've seen a game in the Clwyd East League, and it was rather better than my low expectations. The league was only formed last season, when the old Clwyd League was effectively split into two, and Flint Mountain had previously been Clwyd League strugglers.
With that in mind, my money was on an easy away win, which we might have had if Point of Ayr had been more fortunate in front of goal early on. Instead they hit the crossbar, saw several shots narrowly miss the target, and were up against an in-form Flint Mountain keeper.
Against the run of play, it was Flint Mountain who went ahead, shortly before half time. They couldn't hold the lead though, within moments Point of Ayr scored to go into the break level. The visitors secured an expected win the second half, but overall it was an entertaining and hard fought game.
At this level, facilities are always likely to be limited, and Flint Mountain's ground is no exception. It's an open pitch, at the far end of the large playing field behind Flint High School.
