After stopping overnight in Rhyl, it was an easy drive of around 50 minutes east, to the ground of Mynydd Llandegai (also spelled as ‘Llandygai’ on road signs and on one of the signs at the entrance of the ground). There can’t be too many grounds in Wales that are higher above sea level than this one. It was pretty much uphill all the way from the A5/A55 intersection. It’s certainly one to do in good weather and to say it’s scenic, is not really doing it justice. The ground is fully railed, with a pair of dugouts on the far side. The entrance side has a seated stand and the changing room building, which also housed the tea bar. There was very limited parking, but no problem using the lane outside, which rather surprisingly, had a regular bus service passing, both before and during the match.
The match was 12th versus 10th in the league table. Mynydd Llandegai are currently playing at their highest level ever, but Cemaes Bay have played in the top tier of Welsh football and they were in the League of Wales when I made the trip to Ynys Mon back in December 1995, when they lost 2-4 versus Caernarfon Town in a League Cup group match. Mynydd Llandegai hit the crossbar in the opening 30 seconds of the match, but fell behind after just eight minutes, when a cross from the right wasn’t cleared and was finished with a low shot onto the bottom corner of the net. It was 0-2 after twenty five minutes, when a corner was headed back across the six yard box and headed in unmarked at the far post. The first drinks break of the afternoon was taken before the re-start and the visitors still held their two goal lead by the time the next break was taken midway through the second half. Cemaes Bay saw a shot come back off the inside of the far post with eighteen minutes left, but finally grabbed a third goal in the dying minutes, with an angled shot that went in off the underside of the crossbar.
The game finished at 16.25, but a clear run back, with no roadworks, meant home just after nine.
