We then faced Denbigh Town in the FAW Trophy and were knocked out after our worse performance of the season saw them beat us by 4 goals to nil, and the Cup Holders were out! We put the disappointment of that defeat with a 3-0 victory over Blaenau Ffestiniog in the Barritt Cup, a Chris Boulton Hat Trick seeing us through to the next round. Town returned to League action to round off Januray and came home from Bodedern with a 3-0 victory with goals from Steve Thomas, Sam Jones and Tony Roebuck.

On the scoresheet for Holywell were John Haseldin and Steve Thomas against Llanrug and Paul Williams and Sam Jones doing the damage against Llanfairpwll.

March saw one of the biggest games of the season as Town travelled to Caernarfon who needed a victory for an outside chance of winning the lead. John Hasledin gave Town the lead midway through the first half but the Canaries equalised a few minutes later. The game ended 1-1 which all but ended Caernarfon’s chance of winning the League but kept Town’s chances alive.

We got back to winning ways in our match against Denbigh Town and with the scores all level at 1-1 at the interval, Town came out and played excellent football and won the game 3-1, Steve Thomas double and Tony Roebuck getting the goals for The Wellmen, and in fairness, the score could have been a lot worse on Denbigh Town. We travelled to Barmouth for the Easter Monday clash and despite going behind early on in the game, we came home with the points as goals from Tony Roebuck (2) and Gareth Thomas gave us the points. A Wayne Edwards double gave us victory in our home game against Gwalchmai before April ended with the biggest game of the season when we faced our nearest challengers to the championship, Holyhead Hotspur. We had a dream start when John Haseldin gave us a 2nd minute lead, and were unfortunate not to increase our lead as we had a goal disallowed from Terry Jones and a Danny Henley effort went inches wide. Second half was a different ball game and with the strong wind behind them, Holyhead scored 3 goals to win the match and in turn, gave themselves one hand on the League Championship Trophy.

We travelled to Glan Conwy for our last away match of the season and won by 3 goals to 1 courtesy of a Wayne Edwards Hat trick. This meant going into the last match of the season, we still had an outside chance of winning the league, as we had to beat Barmouth and pray for Holyhead to slip up against Llanrwst. We thrashed Barmouth 7-0 with amongst the goalscorers, Wayne Edwards getting himself his second hat trick in a week. We eagerly awaited news over the internet of Holyhead’s result and unfortunately for us, they won 4-1 to clinch the title. Despite the 7-0 scoreline, the result felt like it didn’t matter, and as Holyhead celebrated, we contemplated on what could have been and we must build on this campaign and once again challenge for honours next season. Our last match of the season was the Barritt Cup Final at Caernarfon against Holyhead Hotspur. We hoped to get one back at the league champions but it wasn’t to be as they took a 2 goal lead into the break. Sam Jones did pull one back in the dying minutes but they held on to victory.
