Lucas Hughes (24) was the only other double-figure contributor in the Llandudno innings, while for the visitors, Sam Hamilton picked up 3-11, Alex North 3-40 and new-ball bowler Thomas 2-37 off eight.
In reply, Division One Halkyn were limited to 122-8 off their allotted 40 overs, skipper North best with 31, James Beresford 23 not out and Hamilton 22.
