JD Welsh Premier League Europa League play-off semi-finals

Friday, 10 May

Newtown 1-2 Bala Town: Bala are a step closer to securing European football for a fifth successive season after winning their play-off semi-final at Newtown.

Bala won 3-2 when the sides met at Latham Park in April, and this time took control when Kieran Smith and Henry Jones found the back of the net.

Joe Kenton pulled a goal back for Newtown in the 88th minute - with Nick Rushton having had an earlier effort ruled out for offside - but Bala held on to reach the play-off final against Cardiff Met.

Caernarfon Town 2-3 Cardiff Met: The Students will go to Bala Town's Maes Tegid on Sunday, 19 May in the play-off final after keeping their European dream alive at The Oval.

Darren Thomas headed Caernarfon in front and a wall collapsed as the home fans celebrated.

But after Chris Baker levelled, the Students went ahead through Adam Roscrow and Kyle McCarthy added their third.

There was late drama as Nathan Craig scored from the penalty spot, but Cardiff Met held out to book their place in the play-off final against Bala Town, who beat Newtown 2-1 on Friday night.

It will be the Students' third successive play-off final, having lost that game in the last two seasons.
