Swansea ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against a very spirited Llanelli Town...writes Roger Langley... Llanelli started brightly and could have been 2up but Swansea keeper Gary Joyce was in good form .Swansea took the lead with a goal from Andy Jones, winning a header at the far post which looped back across and into the net. The visitors were defending resolutely and 2 minutes before half time Swansea were awarded a penalty, duly converted by Pasquatino to make 2-0 at half time. Llanelli showed great character and rolled their sleeves up for the second half. The hosts introduced fresh legs and Dave Hope made it 3-0 from the edge of the box. For Llanelli, Keeper Wyn Edwards was commanding, John Frater was a colossus, but a special mention for John Taylor who came off the bench at the age of 68 to gain his first minutes in this highly competitive veterans league.

Newport secured a comfortable 4-0 victory in a one-sided game at home to Swansea. Goals by Lilygreen, Owen, Pickering and (Ian) Jones secured a deserved 3 points for the title-holders.
The match between Llanelli Town and Penybont ended all-square...writes Roger Langley...... On a huge day for Llanelli, they welcomed Penybont to Penrhos, for their inaugural match in the over 60's league. Llanelli took the lead directly from a corner from Davidson, an apt milestone from a Llanelli Town legend on his debut with Llanelli vets. The hosts extended their lead through the lively Stamp who was put through by Langley. Moglia pulled one back from a corner for the visitors before Smith broke free down the right and squared to (Davey) Davies to score on his debut.
Manager, Jeff Howells crossed for Langley, but his effort was superbly saved by Penybont keeper, Hosey. In the second half a tenacious Penybont scored 2 late goals through Harris and Howland earned them a well-deserved point with the final score 3-3 in a game played in true Wales Veterans spirit.
