Llantwit Major are into the quarter finals of the Welsh Blood Service Cup after beating ten-man Pontypridd United 2-1.

Jack Bevan and Josh Jones scored either side of the break for the hosts in their second round clash at Windmill Lane.

Ponty handed a debut to ex-Barry Town United goalkeeper Mike Lewis, newly signed in midweek after a spell at Cymru Premier strugglers Llanelli.

Tom Gameson was shown a straight red card for the visitors after half an hour, but the deadlock was only broken deep into stoppage time in the first half with Bevan scoring from the penalty spot.

Josh Jones made it two for Llantwit four minutes after the break, with Rob Jones providing the assist.

Ethan Edwards found a reply for United on 73 minutes in an increasingly scrappy game, which included eleven yellow cards, but Karl Lewis’ men held on to book their place in the last eight.

A busy week for Major continues when their stop-start Cymru South campaign resumes on Tuesday with a rearranged trip to bottom club Cwmbran Celtic, followed by Treowen Stars’ visit to Windmill Lane next Saturday.
