Trearddur Bay booked their place in the next round of the FAW Amateur Trophy with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over local rivals Llangefni Town in a fiercely contested derby.
Bay came into the game in remarkable goalscoring form, having found the net 48 times across their previous eight matches. However, Llangefni proved a much sterner test, limiting Bay to just two goals on the night in a game where both sides had chances to take control.
Llangefni goalkeeper Rhys Jones was kept busy throughout and produced a number of excellent saves, while some missed opportunities at both ends meant the score remained goalless despite chances being created.
Bay came closest to breaking the deadlock after 20 minutes when Iolo Hughes' long ball sent Joe Todd through on goal. Todd showed great composure to lift the ball over the advancing Jones, only to see his effort drift narrowly wide.
Llangefni continued to threaten and had plenty of chances of their own but Bay's defence stood firm.
Just before the break, Trearddur Bay had another good opportunity when Iolo Hughes rose highest to meet a corner, but his header flew just over the crossbar.
Half-time: Llangefni Town 0-0 Trearddur Bay
The second half was just seven minutes old when Llangefni came close to taking the lead. Confusion in the Trearddur defence opened the door for an opportunity to get behind Dan Williams, but the shot was deflected behind for a corner.
Bay finally found the breakthrough on 62 minutes.
Ashley Ainsworth laying the ball off to Todd just outside the penalty area, and he unleashed a superb strike which flew beyond the goalkeeper's grasp and into the top corner to put them ahead.
Llangefni refused to go quietly and came agonisingly close to an equaliser with 10 minutes remaining. A ball into the box took an unfortunate touch off Thomas Lennon, sending it towards his own goal, but thankfully for him it struck the crossbar and was cleared to safety.
With Llangefni pushing forward in search of an equaliser late on, Bay found the space to deliver the decisive blow, when deep into added time,
substitute Sebastian Samuel broke through into the box and confidently rifled the ball into the roof of the net to seal the victory and send the Beach Boys into the next round.
Sicrhaodd Bae Trearddur eu lle yn rownd nesaf yr FAW Amateur Trophy gyda buddugoliaeth galed o 2-0 dros eu cystadleuwyr lleol, Llangefni Town, mewn gêm derby ffyrnig.
Cyrhaeddodd y Bae y gêm ar ôl dangos ffurf ragorol o ran sgorio goliau, gan rwydo 48 gwaith yn eu wyth gêm flaenorol. Fodd bynnag, profodd Llangefni yn wrthwynebydd llawer anoddach, gan gyfyngu Bay i ddwy gôl yn unig ar y noson mewn gêm lle cafodd y ddwy ochr gyfleoedd i gymryd rheolaeth.
Bu'n rhaid i gôl-geidwad Llangefni, Rhys Jones, weithio'n galed drwy gydol y gêm gan wneud nifer o arbedion gwych, tra bod cyfleoedd wedi ei methu gan y ddwy ochr yn golygu bod y gêm yn parhau heb unrhyw gôl.
Daeth Bae Trearddur agosaf at agor y sgôr ar ôl 20 munud pan anfonodd pas hir gan Iolo Hughes at Joe Todd yn rhydd tuag at y gôl. Dangosodd o dawelwch mawr wrth godi'r bêl dros Jones oedd yn dod allan, ond aeth ei ymdrech ychydig yn llydan. Parhaodd Llangefni i bwyso a chawsant nifer o gyfleoedd eu hunain, ond daliodd amddiffynfa Bay yn gadarn.
Ychydig cyn yr egwyl, cafodd Bae Trearddur gyfle da arall pan gododd Iolo Hughes uchaf i gyrraedd cic gornel, ond aeth ei beniad ychydig dros y trawst.
Hanner amser: Llangefni Town 0-0 Bae Trearddur
Saith munud i fewn i'r ail hanner ddoeth Llangefni yn agos at gymryd yr awenau. Creodd camgymeriad yn amddiffyn Trearddur i rhoi cyfle i fynd rownd Dan Williams yn y y gôl ond gwyrodd y bêl allan am gic gornel.
Llwyddodd y Bae i dorri'r clo o'r diwedd ar ôl 62 munud. Pasiodd Ashley Ainsworth y bêl i Todd ychydig y tu allan i'r cwrt gosbi, a rhyddhaodd yntau ergyd wych a aeth heibio i afael y gôl-geidwad ac i gornel uchaf y rhwyd i roi ei dîm ar y blaen.
Gwrthododd Llangefni ildio'n hawdd a daethant yn agos iawn at gyfartalu gyda 10 munud yn weddill. Cyffyrddodd Thomas Lennon y bêl yn anffodus wrth iddi ddod i mewn i'r ardal gosbi, gan ei hanfon tuag at ei gôl ei hun, ond yn ffodus iddo ef, taro'r trawst wnaeth y bêl cyn iddi gael ei chlirio i ddiogelwch.
Wrth i Llangefni wthio ymlaen yn hwyr yn y gêm i geisio gôl gyfartal, daeth Trearddur o hyd i fwy o le gwag i daro'r ergyd dyngedfennol; yn ddwfn i'r amser ychwanegol, torrodd yr eilydd Sebastian Samuel i mewn i'r blwch a saethu'r bêl yn hyderus i frig y rhwyd i sicrhau'r fuddugoliaeth ac anfon y 'Beach Boys' drwodd i'r rownd nesaf.
