Cwmamman United secure 4-1 win in Welsh Cup vs Blaenymaes
The match took place on Saturday at the home ground of Blaenymaes in Swansea. The away side showcased their pre-season preparations, having faced several teams, including Ammanford and Fleet Town, leading to an exciting cup clash in front of a crowd exceeding 200. Cwmamman dominated the first half, scoring three goals within 35 minutes. Ryan Cole netted twice, while Elliot Smith added the third to the tally. The midfield duo of Cam Berry and Kieran Dawe provided excellent support, with Cam Williams also contributing significantly. The defence effectively curtailed the home side's attacking threats, limiting their chances. However, the away side faced a setback in the 37th minute when Jackson Brereton received a second yellow card for dissent, leaving Cwmamman with 10 men. This dismissal invigorated Blaenymaes, and Jordan Hibbert capitalised on a defensive lapse to score, reducing the deficit to 3-1 just before the break. Despite being a man down, Cwmamman managed the second half well. In the 68th minute, Smith scored his second goal, converting a rebound from a Berry header that hit the crossbar, sealing a solid win for the visitors. Cwmamman United will be pleased with their performance as they advance to the next round. They will next face Cardiff Cosmopolitan in the first round of the FAW Trophy on Saturday, August 2.

Prolific Ammanford AFC striker leaves ahead of new season
Lewis Reed, who scored more than 50 goals in 77 appearances for Ammanford AFC, has decided to leave the club ahead of the 2025-26 JD Cymru South campaign. The club described his departure as a major blow. In a statement, Ammanford AFC said: "After coming to the club, Lewis was an instant success and scored over 50 goals in 77 outings across a two-year span. "Highlights of his time in black and white included a pair of hat-tricks against Cwmbran Celtic, a sumptuous free-kick against local rivals Llanelli, and bagging over 20 goals in consecutive seasons. "He leaves us with the best wishes of everyone associated with the club and thank him for his incredible contribution to the football club during his time here. "We look forward to welcoming you to the Recreation Ground soon." Mr Reed, who previously played for Ipswich Town and established himself in the Welsh leagues with Llanelli Town, Port Talbot Town, and Pontardawe Town, said he found the decision to leave extremely difficult. Mr Reed said: "No words can really explain what Ammanford has meant to me since I joined two years ago. "I've made some unbelievable memories and friendships that I will always cherish. "I've found it difficult recently, so after plenty of consideration, discussions with my family, and sleepless nights, I've made the incredibly difficult decision to move on. "To all the players and coaches that I've played with and worked with, I'd like to say a huge thank you for everything you've done for me. "To all those who do unnoticed work and make Ammanford the wonderful football club it is, I'm extremely grateful. "Finally, and most importantly, I'd like to say thanks to the fans. "You've made me and my family feel loved from day one. "I hope you've always felt that I gave everything for the club and the badge. "I have no idea what the future holds, but I know for certain that Ammanford will always have a special place in my heart."
