Cwmbran Celtic earn 3-1 league win over Caldicot Town
The Crows came into their opening home match of the season full of optimism following a 6-1 win at Abertillery Bluebirds the previous Saturday afternoon. The hosts broke the deadlock after 27 minutes when Aysa Al-Doori's 20-yard free kick thundered back off the crossbar before Jason Henley pounced to force the loose ball past Caldicot Town goalkeeper Matthew Sandiford from close range. Cwmbran Town doubled their advantage four minutes after the interval when Josh Brown fired home from the edge of the penalty area after Caldicot Town were unable to clear the ball following an attack by the Crows. The score was extended further in the 89th minute when substitute Rhys Tandy pounced on a mistake in the visitors' rear guard before sliding the ball past Sandiford. The Jubilee Way club netted a consolation goal in stoppage-time when Cole Greenhaf lobbed Callum Brain in the home goal, but it was too late to make any difference to the final result as the Crows maintained their 100% start to the new campaign. Cwmbran Town built on the result by overcoming South Wales Premier League newcomers Heolgerrig Red Lion 6-0 in the JD Welsh Cup first qualifying round on Saturday afternoon. Caldicot Town bounced back in style from the league reverse to thrash Gwent Premier League hosts Albion Rovers 11-0 to progress in the cup.

Williams completes comeback as New Saints toast treble
TNS 2 Connah's Quay Nomads 1 TNS completed a historic domestic treble for the first time since 2016 after overcoming the challenge of Connah's Quay Nomads in the JD Welsh Cup final at Rodney Parade. A bizarre opening to the cup final in Newport saw the Deesiders mistakenly name the injured Kai Edwards in their starting line-up. The Nomads wanted to replace him with Chris Marriott who had not initially been included among the substitutes which prompted an objection from the Saints. Bizarrely Nomads named substitute goalkeeper Jon Rushton in the starting line-up with Marriott added to the bench. Rushton did not take his place on the pitch at Newport's Rodney Parade and remained on the bench with Nomads opting to start with only 10 players. When the ball went out of play inside the opening minute Nomads made the substitution which saw ex-TNS captain Marriott enter the field. Nomads led inside the opening seven minutes as Rhys Hughes crossed from the right for Declan Poole to make no mistake from the edge of the six-yard box. TNS soon responded and Rory Holden curled a 20 yard free-kick past the diving George Ratcliffe to get his side back on terms just 10 minutes later. Four minutes before the interval there was a great opportunity for the JD Cymru Premier champions to take the lead but Dan Williams failed to turn home cross from Jordan Williams. TNS led for the first time on 54 minutes as Jordan Williams headed home Danny Redmond's cross from the edge of the six-yard box after some slick TNS possession. Max Woodcock's curling effort dipped over the bar before Harrison McGahey prevented substitute Fumpa Mwandwe from working an opening on 65 minutes. With 12 minutes to go, captain Redmond came to his side's rescue as he made an important challenge to deny Poole at the back post as the Deesiders laid siege to the Oswestrians late on. However, the Saints were not to be denied as the Oswestry club completed the treble.
