LEX XI fell behind to a hotly disputed penalty against Llanfairpwll which left manager Colin Parry in a rage. "Due to the hard ground, the ball bounced off the rock solid surface and it was impossible for centre back Paul Griffiths to move his hand", said Parry.

But with 10 minutes remaining, Aaron Aby found himself free just inside their half, he raced forward and scored with a stunning shot from way out to square the match."
