Llantwit Major got back to winning ways in their final home game of the Cymru South campaign, beating Caerau Ely 1-0.

Major's first win in five games marked the end of the era as Jack Lansdown bid farewell to Windmill Lane.

The veteran goalkeeper will retire from football next weekend after making over 425 appearances for the club.

Fittingly, Lansdown was given the captain's armband - and retained a clean sheet - against a Caerau Ely side, who secured their second-tier status for next season thanks to results elsewhere.

Ioan Emanuel broke the deadlock on 42 minutes with his seventh league goal of the season, which proved to be the winner on what proved to be an emotional day for man of the match Lansdown.

Llantwit remain eighth in the table, but they can still make a top six finish at best followng their final game at Cwmbran Celtic next Saturday.

Llanelli Town were crowned champions on Friday night with a 1-1 draw against Cambrian United.

The Stebonheath Park club will return to the Cymru Premier for the first time in twelve years if they secure a Tier One licence from the FAW - with a decision expected on Tuesday.

Llanelli's league title was confirmed after their main rivals, Trethomas Bluebirds, lost 1-0 to Afan Lido.

At the other end of the table, Goytre United's relegation was confirmed following a 3-0 defeat to Pontypridd United - with both Penrhiwceiber Rangers and Cwmbran Celtic still facing the drop going into the final day of the season.
