Pontyclun 1, The Continental 2
A close-fought match on Talbot Park saw The Continental (pictured) take the 3 points...writes Andy 'Chalky' White.... The ‘Clun took the lead with a Mele breakaway goal. Just before half time Thompson got the equaliser. The hosts worked hard not to be broken down and with only 11 fit players available they did well to stem their 'high-flying' opponents, until a Corfield free-kick midway through the second half proved to be the winner. Thompson missed a late penalty and the hosts could have grabbed a late equaliser with two chances in the last 5 minutes, but the visitors claimed the points after a good battle and good attitudes at the end.

Llanelli Town 1, Penybont 3
A good game of football for the neutral at Penrhos writes...Neil Bryant...Llanelli starting brightly and went ahead through Vaughan Jones, following good work by the dangerous Huw Davies. Penybont’s first real chance was a shot from outside the box by Vince Lewis which was well kept out by Reds stopper Edwards, but the visitors equalised when the Reds defence failed to deal with a long ball and gifted Vince Lewis. They soon went 2-1 up with a good shot from Gareth Jones from outside the box.
The second half saw good football from both teams with Waters pulling the strings for the Reds and Casey likewise for Penybont, but it was Tim O’Connor who got the all-important 4th goal to secure all 3 points for the Bridgend outfit who retain their position on top of the O55s Workwear Supermarket.com League table.

Newport 3, Llanelli Town 1
A good game played in a good spirit at Llanwern School writes Nigel Lewis....Llanelli started well and boss possession for the opening 15 minutes which resulted in a well-worked goal for centre forward Howerth, playing his first game since rupturing his achilles tendon last season. Newport worked their way into the game and took advantage of some sloppy defending, allowing Ross to equalise. The game opened up and Newport were the better team and scored again through Lilygreen to go into half time 2-1 up. Newport dominated the midfield in the second half and Dyke deservedly scored a third with ten minutes to go to secure the points for the hosts.

Cardiff Academicals 1, Pontyclun 1
All-square at Cardiff University fields with Flood opening the scoring for Pontyclun in the 10th minute and Chichester equalising 10 minutes later....and the game ended that way.
