The hosts took the game by the scruff of its neck in the first half  with a couple of goals by Jason Williams and a third by William Jenkins before Felin pulled one back through Owain Evans on the stroke of half time.

Playing up the infamous hill in the second half, Cameron Miles scored another hat-trick and Rhys Williams bagged a brace after the standout Steff Evans kick-started the comeback.

Williams also notched his hat-trick for the home side who were down to 10 men at the time after Josh Verrall was red carded.

Ryan Busby’s goal on 81 minutes was enough to secure Dewi Stars’ 1-0 win at Llanboidy whilst Bargod Rangers won by the same margin at Lampeter Town thanks to Lucian Evans.

Aberporth and Crymych Reserves also shared a point after an entertaining 3-3 draw.

The visitors raced out of the blocks with goals by Elis Williams and Daniel Phillips in the opening exchanges.
