NEWCASTLE Emlyn and Felinfach had to settle for a share of the spoils after the top-of-the-table Costcutter Ceredigion League Division One clash ended in a 1-1 draw.

With leaders Crymych in league cup action, it was an opportunity for the second and third placed clubs to apply some pressure but a draw was the fair result in the end.

With both teams competing well, Rhys Jon James drew hosts Felinfach level on 66 minutes.

The visitors ended the game with 10 men after keeper Kieran Brook was red carded late on.

Emlyn manager Gareth Winston said: “I felt we dealt with their long ball game quite well considering the pitch didn’t suit us with us being a footballing side.

“But we started brightly with Josh’s long range strike and really our keeper didn’t have any saves to make.

“The second half we felt we controlled much of the game until a major decision went against us but it’s not a loss and we focus on getting three points next week.”

Llechryd were comfortable 5-1 winners against visitors Llandysul but it was an evenly-matched opening 45 minutes with Ashley Campbell’s goal for the hosts all that separated the two teams.
