Newcastle Emlyn drew level with leaders Crymych on 21 points after a thrilling 5–3 away win at Pencader on Saturday. With Crymych in Emrys Morgan Cup action, Emlyn seized the opportunity and stormed to a 3–0 half-time lead thanks to a brace from Peter Almond and a strike by Dorian Davies.

Pencader responded after the break with a 53rd-minute penalty from Alfie Morgan, but Osian Thomas quickly restored Emlyn’s three-goal cushion. The hosts rallied impressively, with goals from Morgan Mably and Bradley Rowland narrowing the gap to 4–3. However, after Rhodri Rees was sent off for a second booking, Thomas sealed the win with his second of the match.

Emlyn manager Gareth Winston said: “Credit to Pencader. I honestly don’t think they should be where they are.

“They came at us and were a good side and it rattled us. If they keep going like they did today they will be safe in the league.

“Us being 3-0 up and then they came back at us, I’m happy with the three points today and we have now got more points this season than we did for the whole of last season so that’s one milestone chalked off.

“The next is to make sure we are safe from relegations. That’s our mentality.”

It ended 2–2 between Cardigan Town and Maesglas. The visitors dominated the first half, scoring through Kieran Harman and Iwan Griffiths. Cardigan hit back after the interval with goals from Iwan James and Dean Thomas to earn a point.

Bargod led 2–0 at half-time at Aberporth, courtesy of an Ethan Furness penalty and an own goal by Oliver Sibley. Michael King pulled one back on the hour, but Bargod held firm for the win.
