Barry Town 2, Newport 2
A competitive match between two good sides at Bro Morgannwg saw the hosts take a 2-0 lead through Bobbett and a candidate for goal of the season, when Huish curled one in from outside the box. The visitors levelled the match through Steve Thomas and a superb Carpanini strike to ensure a share of the spoils.
Cardiff Academicals 2, Pontyclun 11
The visitors started the season with a bang at Llanrumney with both White and Mele bagging 5-a-piece. Taylor scored their other goal and Welsh was on target for the luckless hosts.
Penybont 3, Merthyr Tydfil 0
Swansea v Swansea (A)

Swansea Vets passing game finally paid dividends and a flowing move down the left side saw them go 1 up when Clarke beat 3 players before crossing to Medwin who calmly passed it into the net. Lockett bagged a last-minute breakaway goal as Swansea A went in search of the equaliser.
