Tonight’s match was between the teams who had finished 2nd and 9th in the Premier Division of the Taff Ely & Rhymney Valley League. Cwrt Rawlin are aiming for a cup treble, having already won the South Wales F.A. Senior Cup and Bernard Martin Cup.

Cwrt Rawlin were far too strong, and although Cilfynydd fought to the end, they were no match for the victorious hosts. It was a surprise that the opening goal didn’t come until the twenty fourth minute, but a 25 yarder into the bottom corner doubled the lead eight minutes later, giving the hosts a comfortable 2-0 halftime lead. Their No.10, J. Harvey made it 3-0 on sixty eight minutes, completing his hattrick, before adding his fourth goal five minutes later, before he was substituted. The fifth goal came in stoppage time, riding three challenges, before shooting into the far corner.

Cwrt Rawlin now face Cefn Hengoed in the final.
