Rampant Druids ease drop fears
NEWI Cefn Druids v Gap Connah's QuayDRUIDS hit six second-half goals to ease their relegation fears and come within one goal of their best-ever Welsh Premier home win.
There was little to choose between the sides in an undistinguished first-half, but the game sprang to life soon after the break.
Nomads failed to clear a Lee T Jones free-kick from near the left corner flag and Jon Rush was presented with the simplest of chances from two yards out.
Andy Alston missed a good chance to level for the visitors before a Rush through ball released Kevin Holsgrove, who sent an angled shot past keeper Terry McCormick on 56 minutes.
And the win was virtually sealed 10 minutes later when Ricky Evans extracted revenge for a foul by driving a 25-yard free-kick into the far corner.
Another set piece from Jones eluded the Nomads defence to add a fourth before Holsgrove netted the fifth and his second.
Sub Mike Taylor then completed the rout, scoring from a Rush cross with his first touch in the Welsh Premier.
Druids' biggest win of the campaign - and their first clean sheet - extended the Nomads' winless run to five games.
A painful header for Nomads' Ben Alston as he makes contact with Ricky Evans' elbow.
