20th December 2014 – Welsh Alliance Division 1
It was the final weekend before Christmas and unlike
previous weekends where there were an option of games I would have liked to
have visited, there was only one place I was planning on venturing to for some
festive entertainment - the home of Holywell Town, Halkyn Road!! My hometown
team were playing in their final game of 2014 at home in a Welsh Alliance
League game against Llanrug United, in what was all set to be an excellent game
to finish off what has been an incredible year for the Wellmen.
As you might have read in previous blogs I have written,
Holywell Town (@HolywellTownFC) are having an amazing season, arguably their best season ever in
the history of the club! The Wellmen are enjoying a 100% winning record in all
competitions so far this season, achieving 20 wins from 20 competitive games
with 11 of those wins coming in the Welsh Alliance Division 1. Their previous
league fixture had been a hard fought victory away at Pwllheli, where they
managed to resist a resolute home comeback and tough team to win 5-3 and
continue the winning streak. This had left the Wellmen top of the table on
maximum points (33 points) and 10 points clear of second-placed team Llandudno
Junction (who would be the opponents for the first home game of 2015). Holywell
were also looking to go through the whole of 2014 undefeated at home, as their
last home defeat had come in early December 2013. However on that day they had
lost 2-0 to today’s opposition!
