Seventeen-year-old Jacob Duffy netted his first senior goal for Denbigh Town to secure a 2-2 draw against high-flying Mold Alexandra.

Duffy’s late strike came six minutes into added time, rescuing a point in a match that saw Denbigh surrender an early lead before mounting a late comeback.

Denbigh made a strong start and took the lead after just eight minutes.

Tom Kelly struck the left post after a well-worked move, and Alfie Vaughan reacted first to volley home his first goal since August.

Denbigh nearly doubled their lead three minutes later when Kelly’s free kick was only partially cleared, allowing Toby Gallagher-Keenan to fire a volley from 25 yards that forced a save from Mold keeper Joe Smith.

The visitors grew into the game and levelled 16 minutes into the second half.

A forward ball found Luca Hogan, who finished well from 18 yards to make it 1-1.

Just three minutes later, former Denbigh player Sam Duffy put Mold ahead with a volley from outside the box.

Denbigh pushed for an equaliser as time ticked down.

Tom Kelly was brought down after a driving run across the box, but appeals for handball from the resulting free kick were waved away by the referee.

The equaliser finally came in the dying moments.

With Denbigh throwing everything forward, including goalkeeper Oli Farebrother, a corner caused chaos in the box before the ball fell to Jacob Duffy.

The teenager took a touch and rifled a low shot into the bottom corner from distance, securing his first goal for the senior team and cancelling out his brother Sam’s goal at the other end.

The result extends Denbigh’s unbeaten league run to three games.

They will look to continue their positive form when they host Gresford Athletic in their next fixture.
