Pontyclun 2, Llanelli (2nds) 2
Very enjoyable game to play in with some decent football played by both teams...writes Dai Lewis... Llanelli arrived with a bare 11 which took its toll in the second half but they took a 2-0 lead in first half through Roberts and Andrews before Lewis pulled one back for Pontyclun before half time.

Pencoed Athletic B&GC 3, Penlan 2
The hosts secured a narrow win at Pencoed College...writes Huw Vaughan....Although Penlan took the lead twice through Jamie Davies and Maunder, Pencoed drew level twice through Wyllis and an Elliot og.
