Saturday's league programme was a mixture of quarter final cup games and league games. Pitch conditions were very good following last weeks snow and ice.

Two quarter final matches were played in the P&P Pest Control open cup. Last seasons finalists New Inn were at home to Clydach Wasps A. Billy Day gave New Inn a 1-0 half time lead. Two minutes into the second half Jordan Jones put the Wasps level. New Inn responded by hitting the posts twice in quick succession, but the Wasps scored twice in 15 minutes with two gaols by Matthew Edward in the 60th and 75th minutes and Clydach Wasps go into the semi-final draw.

Govilon visited Pontypool Town A and knocked the home side out by winning the match 6-1. Govilon led 3-1 at half time. The goals for Govilon came from a Jason Williams hat-trick, Dean Morgan, Stuart Morgan and James Powell chipped in with a goal apiece. Pontypool Town A's goal was scored by Gavin Hopkins.

One quarter final game was played in the A Jones & Co Usk Ltd Langdon Cup which saw Lower New Inn beat Llanarth 2-1. Rob Morter fired the Lower into a 1-0 half time lead with a goal scored in the 30th minute. A Stephen Morgan goal in the 65th minute put Llanarth back into the game. Tim Lane scored the Lower New Inn winner in the 80th minute with a right foot shot from 25 yards described as a moment of brilliance. Three players were outstanding for the Lower, keeper Justin Arandjelovic, Simon Fish and Scott Redwood.

In the A Jones & Co Usk Ltd replay of the quarter final match Mardy B v PILCS, victory went to PILCS with a 3-0 win. The goal scorers for PILCS were David Mundy, Adrian Jenkins plus an own goal by Kevin Melville.

In league Division One Mardy failed to raise a side for the visit of Cwmffrwdoer. The lure of the Welsh rugby international was such that on the day some players chose the rugby match over their own clubs relegation battle. In Division One Mardy drops to bottom position.
