Ioan earns Llantwit last-gasp draw

FAW

Llantwit Major earned a dramatic 1-1 draw at home to Pontypridd United in the Cymru South on Saturday.

It was the only second tier game in the Welsh pyramid to go ahead as Storm Bert put pay to most of Saturday's fixture list.

Ben Stait's men were returning to league action off the back of their Fenix Trophy exit - and the end of a nine-game unbeaten run in all competition a fortnight ago.

The testing conditions at Windmill Lane produced a first-half stalemate, but Ponty - playing their first game under new manager Andy Whittingham - broke the deadlock on 70 minutes when Liam Eason scored his 13th goal of the season.

The visitors looked destined to go top of the table - but they didn't count for Ioan Emanuel, who equalised in the 93rd minute to earn a hard fought point for Major.

Llantwit remain fifth in the table as attention turns to next Saturday's visit to Baglan Dragons, who ran out 1-0 winners over leaders Trethomas Bluebirds on Friday night.

In the Cymru Premier, Barry Town United's trip to Caernarfon was postponed - with Gwynedd bearing the brunt of Storm Bert.

Steve Jenkins' men had made an early trip up north on Friday in preparation, but with weather conditions deteriorating overnight, the Cofis made a relatively early decision to call it off. A new date will be announced in due course.

But apart from that, the rest of the Welsh top flight was unscathed on Saturday - with reigning champions The New Saints coming from 2-0 down to beat league leaders Penybont 3-2 and close the gap to just one point.

Cardiff Met remain fourth after a 3-0 win over bottom club Aberystwyth and Flint Town United earned a valuable 2-1 victory over Briton Ferry Llansawel.

Haverfordwest County played out a goalless draw with Bala, while Newtown's Friday night clash with Connah's Quay Nomads also falling foul of the weather.

Barry remain fifth in the table - and just a point above Caernarfon - as they prepare for next Sunday's Nathaniel MG Cup semi final against holders The New Saints at Jenner Park (5.45pm ko).
