Colwyn Bay and Llanelli make the step up to top flight which goes into its final season of the 12 club format without any mid Wales representation following the relegation of Newtown and Aberystwyth Town. TNS will now become mid Wales' and the border's sole representative in the elite. Aberystwyth Town have been relegated to JD Cymru South while Newtown join Caersws, Guilsfield and Penrhyncoch in JD Cymru North along with promoted Brickfield Rangers, Holyhead Hotspur and Rhyl 1879. Brecon Corries will continue to be Powys' sole representatives in the Ardal South East League. Meanwhile the Ardal North East League welcomes Llanrhaeadr, Knighton Town and Wrexham-based Lex XI while Corwen make the switch from the north western league. Knighton join southern Powys rivals Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Radnor Valley in representing their region while Llanrhaeadr join Kerry and Llanfair United as Montgomeryshire's representatives. Bow Street and Dolgellau AA will once again compete in the north east league while Cefn Albion, Llangollen Town, Llanuwchllyn, Penycae and Rhos Aelwyd complete the line up.

Pride as Caersws end wait to lift Montgomeryshire Cup again
CAERSWS ended an almost two decade wait to lift the Banwy Fuels Montgomeryshire Cup on Saturday. Max McLaughlin was the star of the show as the Bluebirds stormed back to sink Llanrhaeadr whose season now hinges on their MMP Central Wales League North title-decider against Forden United. A Caersws club spokesman said: 'It's a great way to round off what has been a successful season overall. 'The way the lads famished the league season so strongly gives us a great platform to build from, and to add some silverware to that is really satisfying.' Hopes are high the club will build on the success of this season going forward as the villagers strive to retain their lost status as Powys' top club. The spokesman added: 'There is a great feeling around the club at the moment, from the juniors right through to our senior teams. 'After 18 years to have our hands back on the Montgomeryshire Cup - we're delighted.'
