Berriew and Four Crosses are into the last 16 of the FAW Trophy after a pair of brilliant performances to keep the Montgomeryshire flag flying.

A hat-trick from Jamie Evans saw Crosses upset last season’s finalists Rhos Aelwyd 3-1 to book their place, while David Jones enjoyed his 100^th win as Berriew manager as they overcame Rhydymwyn 2-0. Unfortunately, there was no way through for Llanfair United who, despite good periods of pressure, went down 4-2 to a clinical Llanrug United.

Meanwhile, Llanrhaeadr moved up to seventh in the Huws Gray Alliance after Joe Vaughan’s second half strike sealed a 2-1 win over Conwy Borough. Guilsfield were left to rue early missed chances as they fell 4-1 at Rhyl.

Defeats for Welshpool Town and Radnor Valley against Carno and Kerry respectively enabled Caersws and Llanidloes Town to pull away at the top of the MMP Mid Wales League after both recorded weekend wins.

In the second division, there were wins for Montgomery Town and Waterloo Rovers to keep the pressure on Newbridge-on-Wye and Hay St Mary’s at the top.

Forden were beaten in the Emrys Morgan Cup at Bow Street Reserves while a hat-trick from Mike Jones helped Llanfyllin advance in their 7-3 win over Churchstoke Reserves.

Bishop’s Castle moved into second spot in the JT Hughes Montgomeryshire Amateur League with a 3-2 win over Trewern United, the league’s only game.

In the second division, there were wins for Waterloo Reserves, Llanrhaeadr Reserves and Kerry Reserves.
