Newtown 2-3 Aberystwyth Town: Newtown will drop out of the JD Cymru Premier for the first time in their history after defeat at home to already relegated Aberystwyth Town.

Both Newtown and Aberystwyth were ever present clubs in Welsh football's top-flight since its formation in 1992 and relegation for the two clubs is a blow for football in mid Wales.

Ollie Sharp put Newtown ahead on 37 minutes after combining well with Jason Oswell before slotting home past keeper Seb Osment. But Aber responded in first half stoppage time when Niall Flint latched onto a long pass from Alex Darlington to fire his side level.

Aaron Williams' effort was headed off the line by Darlington but from the resultant corner Oswell's header restored the home side's lead. Flint scored his second from the penalty spot after Jolyon Harries handled in the area to level the score with 13 minutes remaining.

Flint was denied a hat-trick when he struck the post before substitute Cuba Clyne's header sealed victory for Aber and sealed Newtown's fate.

Briton Ferry Llansawel 1-2 Flint Town United: Briton Ferry Llansawel knew their status in the Cymru Premier was secure for next season after Newtown's loss earlier in the day. Jasper Payne put Ferry in front only for Michael Burke to level for the visitors before Elliott Reeves secured their win in the second half.
