In-form Berriew are through to the second round of the Welsh Cup following a dramatic day of action on Saturday.

The MMP Mid Wales League side went toe-to-toe with the Huws Gray Alliance’s Penrhyncoch and held their nerve as the match went to penalties with Harry Watkins slotting home the decisive spot kick.

But the biggest drama from the round came at Caersws who were trailing another Alliance club, Holywell, 2-0 at home with just five minutes to go. The visitors missed an 84^th minute penalty which spurred on the Bluebirds to fight back, with the Josh Jones winner coming in the 95^th minute.

Llanfair United join them in the hat following another nail biter at Hawarden Rangers who had earlier pegged back Llanfair’s two-goal lead. Josh Ashley got the winner.

Unfortunately, Llanidloes Town and Llanrhaeadr exit the competition following home defeats.

It was comfortable for Guilsfield who netted in each half to see off Wrexham side Rhostyllen, 2-0.

In the MMP Mid Wales League, Carno won in Division One while Waterloo Rovers were edged out at home in Division Two. Four Crosses picked up an important three points but Montgomery were held at home by Rhayader.
