FAW Premier Cup news and round-up
FAW Premier Cup
Welshpool Town, Carmarthen Town, Llanelli and Newport County have won through to the quarter-finals of the FAW Premier Cup.

Carmarthen needed extra time on Tuesday night to see off Port Talbot 2-1, while Newport also had a hard-fought affair at Spytty Park as they beat Bangor 1-0.

Llanelli romped through with a 4-1 home win over Rhyl, while Welshpool won 2-0 at Haverfordwest County on Monday.

The quarter-final draw will be held on 24 November live on Wales on Saturday.

Each of the four clubs to win through this week are seeded to have home advantage and will face either Cardiff City, Swansea City, Wrexham or The New Saints.

On Guy Fawkes Night, Welshpool took an early lead after just four minutes when veteran striker Steve Rogers fired past Lee Idzi.

The home team battled back and had chances on either side of half-time, but Gerard McGuigan in the Welshpool goal was equal to everything thrown at him.

Rogers then got a second, eight minutes after the interval, on another quick break to keep Haverfordwest at arm's length.

On Tuesday, Welsh Premier League leaders Llanelli overcame Rhyl, who had a long journey home after succumbing to two late goals at Stebonheath Park.

The home team got the best start possible as Stuart Jones scored before the first minute was up, but slowly Rhyl got themselves into the game.

The decisive goal was from Craig Williams, 10 minutes into the second half and when leading scorer Rhys Griffiths got on the score sheet with eight minutes to go it was all over.

Andy Moran fired home a late penalty to give Rhyl brief hope, but Chris Holloway restored the three-goal advantage immediately.

There was another long journey home to north Wales for Bangor City, who battled hard at Spytty Park against Newport County only to lose to a last-minute goal from Charlie Griffin.

It was no more than the home team deserved as they dominated the game, but Bangor will rue their excesses in front of goal.

The final game of the four went to extra time as home team Carmarthen triumphed against Port Talbot by the odd goal of three.

Martin Rose gave the visitors in the lead in the first half and they looked as if they were going through, but Jamal Easter brought extra time with a goal in the last minute. But Carmarthen captain Nathan Cotterall won the game for his side with an exquisite finish.

Port Talbot manager Tony Pennock quit his position in the wake of the defeat.
