Pontyclun edged this closely fought match at the University Fields with a goal in each half...writes Dave Keane.... Kennard opened the scoring for the hosts early in the first half, with Hatch making sure of the 3 points with 5 minutes to go. Both teams just about made it to the final whistle with 11 on the pitch, due to numerous second-half injuries. These cold nights don't do any favours for creaking limbs:(

10th November
Cwmbran Celtics 1, Newport 0
A narrow win for the hosts at the Avondale Motor Park Arena.....writes Darren ‘Elvis’ Jones...... An excellent game which could have gone either way as both teams had their chances.

Swansea 0, Llanelli Town 7
A comfortable win for the visitors in this local derby at Penyrheol Leisure Centre....writes Neil Bryant... An early strike by Rocke got the Reds off to a great start and a sweet-strike from Legg put them 2up. Richards then scored 2 in quick succession to make it 4-0 halftime.
Although Llanelli started slowly in the second half Legg got them back on track with his second. A game rarely goes without ‘Willy’ Williams scoring and he duly obliged by netting the last two goals and keeping his side on top of the O50s WorkwearSupermarket.com League, on goal difference.

Both teams played good football but Llanelli opening the scoring through a sublime 25 yard free-kick by Andy Legg.

The visitors flew out of the blocks in the first half, leading to a comfortable win at Talbot Park...writes Dave Keane. Kennedy (2) and Huw Davies gave the Swans a 3-0 half-time lead.

A hard-fought win for the Swans at The Wern...writes Huw Davies. Nelson. The hosts only had 11 players but set up well and were dangerous on the break. They held on for over an hour until O’Neil finally broke the deadlock and the visitors closed the game out to grab the three points.

Griffiths and Salmon were on target for the visitors.

Llanelli Town 11, Cardiff Academicals 0
A comfortable win for the hosts at Penrhos with ‘Willie’ taking centre stage once again.....writes Simon Roger. A battling Accies team who did well to keep the score down to 2-0 at half time but a couple of quickfire goals early in the second half killed off any hope they had of getting back into the game and the superior fitness of Llanelli showed in the end. The Reds scorers were Williams (7), Owen (2), Rogers (2) and McClarnan.

An entertaining 0-0 played out between two excellent footballing sides writes Simon Rogers....
