BUILTH Wells caused an upset on Saturday by defeating recently-crowned Lock stock Ardal North East champions Penrhyncoch 1-0 at a sun-drenched Lant Field.

The visitors made a strong start as Dan Owen drove towards the penalty area in the eighth minute but pulled his shot wide.

Christy Gale raced through on goal three minutes later bit was denied by stand-in Builth Wells goalkeeper Dave Thomas.

Penrhyncoch's Taylor Watts pulled a 25 yard drive wide of goal in the 13th minute before Cameron Allen placed his effort the wrong side of the far post from a corner three minutes later.

The Ceredigion club were made to pay for their missed opportunities when Tommy Rowlands ran on to a Ryan Powell pass before lifting the ball over the advancing Leigh Jenkins in the Penrhyncoch goal.

Thomas had to be alert to deny Allen at his near post in the 34th minute with a smart save to turn the ball behind for a corner before Zac Davies drove towards the Builth Wells penalty area five minutes later and saw his shot turned over the crossbar by Thomas for another corner.

The Rooster continued to create a host of chances after the break with Davies and Tomos Evans going close before they thought they had finally equalised when a cross from the right flank was met by Evans, only a few feet in front of goal, but his downwards header bounced over the crossbar.

The visitors continued to sustain the pressure in the closing stages with Allen's 25 yard drive fizzing over the crossbar in the 88th minute before substitute Geoff Kellway struck his stoppage time effort wide of goal from the edge of the penalty area.

Bow Street continued their good run of form, with a 2-0 win against Cefn Albion.
