ELY Rangers will be disappointed going out of the FAW Welsh Cup to Swansea based Blaen-y-Maes 5-2. Going 3 down in the opening 15 minutes gave them a big hill to climb. Their goals came from Oliver Bradley and Richard Greaves.
However, in the SWFA Senior Cup, they bounced back with a ‘Bakers Dozen’ beating Church Village from the TERV League. Goals came from Luke Birnage, Adam Coomer (2), Oliver Bradley, Richard Greaves (4), Alex Long (2), Alfie Ross-Wilsher and Mark Walker.
Dinas Powys’ had two cup successes. First was in the SWFA Senior Cup away to Tongwynlais and a 3-1 victory. Gareth Emmanuel, Will Thomas and Lucas Murray were on the scoresheet. They followed this up with a 6-0 win in the SWPL W John Owen Cup against Cwrt Rawlin. Will Thomas (2), Ricky Sansome, Ebhan Barnett, Niall Chinn and Luke Boyle the scorers.
In SWPL Division One West, Cogan maintained their top place with a 3-1 win over Cardiff Hibs, with goals from Aiden Rainbow, and a brace from Jac Jones. The local derby at Sully Sports followed and another victory – 2-1 – with a pair from Joe Pinch.
The week before Sully Sports – also in SWFA Senior Cup action – hosted Sparta Park from the Vale League and went through to round four with a comfortable 5 nil victory. Scorers were Joe Collins, Andy Hill and a hat-trick from Tim Hill.
Barry Athletic had less success. Leaving the SWFA Senior Cup following a 2-0 defeat to Cwm Welfare and then going out of the SWPL WJO Cup away to Premier Division’s Clwb Cymric 3-1. Maksymilian Kaminski scored their consolation goal.
Other Vale League clubs in the Senior Cup all faced SWPL opposition – include Island Marine 0-5 against Cardiff Bay Warriors, Cwm Talwg 3-1 over Treorchy BGC, Cardiff Cosmos 3-2 Cadoxton Imps, Cwmbach Royal Stars 4-0 King Billy, Cwrt Rawlin 6-1 Rhoose Social and Vale Madrid 1-7 Llangeinor.
Coming up, Ely Rangers have two away league games coming up at Pencoed Athletic BGC & AFC Wattstown. Dinas Powys also have two away games at Llangeinor and FC Cwmaman. Cogan Corries are away to Grange Albion and home to Llanishen – all in the SWPL. Sully face another derby at Barry Island before hosting FC Porthcawl. The Athletic host Grange Albion on 7th November. After a furlough weekend, Vale United have the one game away to Llanishen.
