WingMakers record their seventh straight league win ⚽✈️

After the postponement on Friday due to a waterlogged pitch the game against Ruthin Town was re-arranged quickly, as Airbus travelled to the Memorial Playing Fields on a mild but wet February evening.

There was one change to the line-up that started against Rhyl, as Blaine Hudson replaced Joe Palmer in the starting XI

Airbus got us under way for the evening, as the visitors looking to add to their run of wins in the league.

After a scrappy opening two minutes, Ruthin put Airbus’ back line under pressure from the first whistle.

George Peers showed some brilliance on 3’, as he brought the ball down in midfield and played Kaiden Cooke in and Cooke’s shot was saved by Daniel Goldston and Danny Warren’s follow up was deflected into Goldston’s hands.

Warren was finding space in behind the Ruthin back line and a ball through found him with time to get a shot at goal, but his effort was over as he was spared his blushes as the official’s flag went up for offside.

As the game started to settle, Airbus were managing to get the ball down and play. Cooke drove at Tom Weyman and his shot across the box was looking just for a fine touch from someone, but it went wide of the post.

With 20 minutes on the clock, Jordan Evans’s touch allowed him to play a ball into Mason Blackwell-Jones path, whose cross across the Ruthin goal mouth was not converted into the back of the net.

Shortly after, Ruthin carved themselves an opportunity resulting in a corner and from the resulting corner the ball fell to Llyr Morris on the edge of the box and his effort was deflected wide for another corner.

Cooke had the run of the Ruthin full back and his run into the box allowed him to try a shot with the outside of his foot as Goldston saved with his feet.

Tyler McManus’ movement was causing Ruthin problems and the ball into him by Blaine Hudson allowed him to carry the ball forward and play into the forward running Cooke, the wingers cross into the box was put over the bar by George Peers.

With half time approaching, Airbus broke the deadlock on 39. Some great link-up play between Jordan Evans and Kaiden Cooke, allowed Evans to deliver a pinpoint cross into the box and Peers was in the right place to divert the ball into the net.

It was two shortly after for Airbus, this time a brilliant ball from Tyler McManus from midfield into Warren’s path was played through to Kaiden Cooke and he placed his shot into the bottom right corner.

With a minute of injury time added, a back heel from Peers found Blackwell-Jones who did well to keep the ball and find Peers back. Peers’ cross was cleared well by a Ruthin head, as the ball fell into Jordan Evans on the edge of the box and his shot brought a great save from Goldston as he pushed the shot away and was able to gather at the second attempt.

The referee’s whistle blew on a half where patience was needed from Airbus as they finally made the breakthrough with goals from Peers and Cooke.

Ruthin got us back underway for the evening, and Airbus started the half on the front foot looking to add to their goal tally. Danny Warren delivered a cross into the box, and it looked like Peers’ shot was settling in the bottom corner, but his effort was deflected wide for a corner.

From the resulting corner, the first delivery was cleared by Ruthin and the ball fell to Jordan Evans and his cross was on point and heading on target before it was deflected into his own net by Dan Cox.

The third goal had given Airbus a cushion, and on 57’ Jordan Evans cut inside and his shot was deflected for a corner. From the corner, the ball was juggled in the air by Cooke, as he set himself for an overhead kick which was just wide.

Just before the hour there was a double substitution by Airbus as Jake Roberts and Dan Collins replaced Jordan Evans and George Peers.

With the game very much in control for Airbus, they were being patient with their play.

On 77’, Airbus did have their fourth goal. Dan Collins found Danny Warren with a nice pass and Warren’s first touch took him away from Cox and he finished across Goldston into the bottom corner.

That was Warren’s last action as Airbus made a triple substitution with Saturday’s game in mind. James Allen, Josh Stevenson and Franek Sadczuk replaced Danny Warren, Blaine Hudson and Mason Blackwell-Jones.

The game was very comfortable for Airbus going into the last 10 minutes, there was a slight mistake at the back for the visitors as they were unable to clear a ball with Ruthin looking to pounce.

With 3 minutes remaining of the 90, Tom Dyer received a yellow card for a sinical block on Jake Roberts as he looked to be clean through.

The referee blew time on a comfortable evening for Airbus, as they recorded their seventh consecutive win in the JD Cymru North
