In the league, Llanfair United closed the gap at the top following a hard earned 3-2 win over Kerry, with Karl Seliaerts’ winner coming in the 92^nd minute.

Four Crosses handed Montgomery a title boost by beating their closest rivals Hay St Mary’s in Division Two. Waterloo Rovers were held back by a 2-2 draw at home to Borth United. There were also wins for Abermule and Dyffryn Banw.

Guilsfield stunned Huws Gray Alliance leaders Airbus Broughton with an added time equaliser on a day that Llanrhaeadr also made it a good day for the league’s local clubs.

Guilsfield were behind in the 14^th minute, but created chaos in the dying stages of the game to enable Robbie James to level.

Llanrhaeadr came from a goal down to beat Penrhyncoch 2-1 for back-to-back wins. Joe Vaughan and Khyam Wyton did the damage.
