Pontardawe Town looked to continue their positive recent form as they faced a Llanelli Town who were under new management following the return of Lee John to Stebonheath. With Taylor Evans injured, Steve Berry brought in Harri Lawson and Sammy Harrison replaced Will Thomas in midfield.

The visitors started very slowly and the home side were unlucky not to take the lead as they spurned chances and faced an in form Nat Osborne in goal for Pontardawe. Then, after a slow start, Pontardawe scored with their first real attack as Jenson Stone broke down the left and he found Jesse Meacock who beat the keeper down to his left. The home side took only 3 minutes to equalise when Keiran Dawe scored. The remainder of the half saw the home side build in confidence and Pontardawe failing to get control of the ball.

Steve Berry made a change at half time bringing on Will Thomas for Harri Lawson and immediately that change saw an improvement. On 52 minutes Ollie Nedza got Pontardawe's second, with his first of the season, and then just 3 minutes later it was 3-1 as, former Llanelli Town striker, Liam Samuel scored for Pontardawe.

Llanelli Town never gave up and they showed that under Lee John they are going to improve and become a difficult side to beat. Karim Hussein got a second for the home side after 62 minutes and them, in the 71st minute, he scored the equaliser with a superb strike from outside of the box.

Chances came and went in the remaining 20 or so minutes and the final 4 or 5 minutes saw Pontardawe put the home side under massive pressure but they held out and the points were shared after what was a really enjoyable game ..... for the neutral !!!
