Penarth Town open up seven-point lead
Vale of Glamorgan Football League round up
After a week off, the Vale of Glamorgan Football League returned with a bang and plenty of goals.
Penarth Town returned to winning ways with a stunning 6-2 victory over Cadoxton Barry. Macauley Winton scored the pick of the bunch with a 40-yard screamer. The result moves Penarth seven points ahead of Holton Road, having played two games more. Cadoxton Barry have now lost four league games in a row but remain in third place.
Holton Road saw that gap open up after they were held 2-2 at Cogan Coronation. Morgan and Jachontow had put Holton Road ahead after going a goal down early, but a late Hughes equaliser saw a share of the points for Cogan.

Goals from Cory James and Mathew James saw BV defeat St Athan 2-1, with St Athan finishing the game with nine men after two red cards. That’s three wins from their last four for BV but St Athan are now five games without a league win.
