After an even opening half an hour, it was Padarn who broke the deadlock from a corner by Carl Walley, which went straight into the home side’s net.

In the second half a lovely solo goal from Carl Walley made it 2-0, and Padarn’s Nathan Jackson hit the post with an effort from an effort outside the box.

The Ceredigion side started as the better side, but they fell behind - before a Lee Jones free kick from distance found the top corner to ensure parity at half time.

The second half didn’t start well at all for the visitors as two defensive mistakes from centre backs Sion Jones and Owen Evans saw the home side take a commanding 3-1 lead - and the second division side was looking good for their lead.

Bont’s Ben Lewis slotted home to halve the deficit, and when the visiors were awarded a hotly disputed penalty, Andrew Gilbert kept his cool to power home from 12 yards, to make it 3-3 with 10 minutes remaining.

The tie went in to extra time, with both teams tiring, but with five minutes of the first half left, Robin Melkeck pounced on a loose ball to put Bont 4-3 up, after Tristan Jenkins’ cross had been dropped by the goalkeeper.
