Central Wales FA, J. Emrys Morgan Cup, First Round
Talybont 0 Brecon Corinthians 12 (at 12)
During the summer Brecon Corinthians switched from the South Wales FA to the Central Wales FA. It made sense geographically, and appeared to give the club a simpler route to the higher levels of Welsh football, which is currently part-way through a major re-organisation.
So far the move is paying dividends. Corries are much too strong for most - in fact probably all - of their opponents in the Mid Wales South League. They've already won games by 20-0 and 27-0, and will surely win the league easily.
I'd say they're also clear favourites for the J. Emrys Morgan Cup, a competition for Mid Wales sides playing below the top four tiers of domestic football. Talybont, from the top division of the Aberystwyth League were no match for them.
It took 10 minutes for the visitors to go in front, and despite a spirited effort by the hosts the gap had widened to 7-0 by half time. Goal number eight came soon after the break, but Talybont kept battling and it took a late flurry of scoring for the final tally to reach a dozen.
Talybont is a village a few miles north of Aberystwyth, but two years ago the club lost the use of their pitch in the village. They've moved to the Aberystwyth University's Blaendolau Playing Fields, hopefully only temporarily while they search for a suitable venue closer to home.
It's a multi-pitch location on the outskirts of Aberystwyth. The University's second and third teams were both at home in the Aberystwyth League, on pitch numbers two and three (the students' first team were also at home but play elsewhere). Talybont used pitch five, which is apparently the one they're usually allocated.
