Rhyl

Deiniol Graham's first half hat-trick secured a 3-1 win for the Seagulls against Rhyl and a place in the next round of the Gwynedd Trophies North Wales Coast Challenge Cup.

Graham opened his account on 29 minutes, Paul Jones and Craig Lawton combining to set up the striker who slotted the ball home from eight yards.

Rhyl were level within two minutes when Nick Welton rifled a low drive from 25 yards.

But the Bay were back in front on 39 minutes when from Stuart Scheuber's pass he again found the net.

The hat-trick was completed in the last minute of the first half. Jon Fisher Cooke - formerly of Rhyl - was fouled by Neil Rigby - formerly of Colwyn Bay. Graham stepped up to take the resultant penalty and the Bay were 3-1 ahead.

Rhyl did have chances in the second half, but there was to be no change to the scoreline and it is the Seagulls who advance into the next round.
