Mold have four games in hand, though, so they are strong favourites to win the league.

The race for second place remains alive, with third-placed Porthmadog on 63 points with three games left to play - and their last game is at Mold.

In an entertaining first quarter, both sides had early chances.

Mark Roberts went closest for Town after Sion Jones sent a teasing free kick into the penalty box, but Roberts’ shot was easily saved by Dascalu in the Llanuwchllyn goal.

Prys Jones forced Denbigh’s Aaron Jones into a fine save when the defender had a superb chance for the hosts, before being adjudged to have been offside.

Mike Sharples headed straight into Dascalu’s arms as Denbigh slowly took control, with Dan Clarke seeing a shot from 20 yards strike the crossbar.

Denbigh’s pressure told in the 18th minute.

Keiron Roberts latched onto a loose clearance from Llanuwchllyn and his 20-yard shot had Dascalu at full stretch to palm the ball away for a corner.

From Clarke’s corner, Mark Roberts met the ball and was able to flick his header away from Dascalu and into the net.

As the half drew to a close, Denbigh had a great chance for a second, with Roberts’ header just wide of the target.

Llanuwchllyn came out for the second half with more attacking purpose and Town’s keeper Aaron Jones had a busy first 15 minutes.

At the other end, Jake Walker was unlucky not to get his 26th league goal of the season when his header clattered the crossbar.
