Abercarn secured a narrow home victory against Penarth with goals by Morgan, Norris and Davies. Sheperd and Drewitt were on target for the Wanderers...Acker writes... Excellent match today with not a great deal between the sides. A couple of strange goals scored but a good natured game.

Cwmcarn edged a 1-0 win over Pontymister...writes Jamesy.... A highly competitve game was played out at Waunfawr between Cwmcarn and Pontymister. Both sides played with grit and determination, with the bonus of some good football being played out. Half-time saw the game at 0-0after some stellar defending from both sets of players, but on another day those chances may have been converted. The 2nd half, was much the same, but it was the Carn who broke the deadlock with McCewan grabbing a breakaway goal - 1 v 0 to the home side. From there, it was backs to wall stuff for Cwmcarn, with Ponty applying the pressure but just couldn't get the breakthrough. Cwmcarn took the spoils, though, in what was a true grassroots type of game.

In Division 2, Wattsville secured a 3-1 victory at home to Cheptow, with Bird (2) and Jenkins on target. Oshea scored a late goal for the visitors.

Previous league leaders, Bridgend Street were held 1-1 away to Rogerstone...writes Halfo...Great battling by both sides ended in a fair draw with the hosts scoring through Taylor and Jeanne replying shortly after for the visitors.

Tiger Bay moved top with a 2-5 win over Cwmbran...writes Kieran...Celtic took a 2-1 lead in to half time through Holyfield and Stokoe, but in the 2nd half Tiger Bay came out strong and showed their class and took the points courtesy of Noor (3), Ibrahim and Farah.
