DIVISION One leaders in the Costcutter Ceredigion League, Dewi Stars, suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of Crannog on Saturday.

They were beaten 4-1 by the visitors who ended the Stars’ impressive 12 game winning streak in the league.

A Samuel Dutnell penalty in the 20th minute quickly followed by a close range finish by Daniel Robinson gave Crannog a two-goal buffer at the break.

Leon Holmes pulled one back for the hosts with the game’s second spot kick in the 64th minute but Crannog finished strongly to run out convincing winners on the day.

Michael Glover restored their two-goal cushion with a set-piece goal with a quarter of an hour remaining and they sealed victory with a stoppage time fourth by George Colven.

Second placed Llechryd took full advantage of the Stars’ slip-up with a 5-2 win against visitors Cardigan Town.

It sets up Saturday’s meeting between the two top sides nicely with Llechryd now just two points adrift of the pacesetters, both sides having played 15 games.

George Lowry and Jordan Griffiths put Llechryd in the driving seat at the interval with Griffiths also missing a first half penalty.

Llion Willams pulled one back for Cardigan early in the second half but a couple of goals by Hari Thomas and a second by Lowry put the result beyond Cardigan, who netted a late second goal in stoppage time by Iwan James.

Crymych scored six unanswered goals – by Rhodri George (3), Rhydian Howells and Ross McDonald – against visitors St Dogmaels who were hampered by Edward Wigley’s sending off after just five minutes.
