11th September
Newport 1, Pontyclun 2
A good, competitive encounter saw Gartside give the hosts the lead on the 30 minutes and they led until the hour mark when man-of-the-match, Thomson equalised. White scored the winner minutes later to secure the points for Pontyclun.
Penybont 1, Swansea 0
A close encounter between two sides who had secured a win in the first round of games in September. Although Penybont had the greater firepower, it was the visitors who went closest, when they were denied from the penalty spot by Penybont keeper, Pearce. Swans keeper, Meacham was called into action, making a superb, full length save from Jason Morgan early in the second half. He couldn’t deny Veasey who secured the points on the hour for Penybont, who sit at the top of the table.
Merthyr Tydfil 0, Barry Town 3
The visitors claimed the points as Merthyr were unable to field a side
11th September
Pontyclun 1, Barry Town 1
Barry dominated much of this game and took the lead on 12 minutes with a well-taken penalty from Staddon, when Evans was tripped in the box. However, they failed to extend their lead through a combination of their profligacy and stubborn Pontyclun defending, particularly by Thomson and Ryan. Inevitably, an error in the Barry ranks allowed a determined Maclachlan to drill home an equaliser two minutes from time to secure a share of the spoils for his Pontyclun side, which contained several ‘old’ faces making a welcome return to Wales Veterans’ Football.
Swansea 2, Newport 0
In a fairly even game, Swansea claimed 3 valuable points against their opponents with Pasquantonio pulling the strings...despite a tantrum in the first half and captain, Jeff Griffiths slotting two second half goals to win the points.
Penybont 6, Merthyr Tydfil 0
An emphatic win by Penybont against a Merthyr team who started well before succumbing to the greater firepower of their opponents. Veasey, making a welcome return after illness, gave his team the lead, before Peter Morgan, Paul Morgan and Nick Moglia and an unfortunate own-goal by Newton secured the points for the Bridgend side before half-time.
