The Bryn-Y-Castell men have taken on all comers since their promotion from the Mid Wales League - and their latest victory leaves them sitting third in the table behind Cefn Albion and Llanuwchllyn.

They were just a goal in front at half time as former Newtown striker Luke Boundford netted his latest goal - before Kieran doubled the lead just after the break.

The second half was then all about Boundford - as he extended the lead before missing a penalty to secure his hat-trick.

Less than a minute later though and he had secured the matchball - but he wasn't done yet.

Two minutes into stoppage time the experienced striker bagged his fourth and Knighton's fifth to cap off a memorable victory for the home side.

The result means they are one of only two sides who remain unbeaten in the league - with leaders Llanuwchllyn also yet to be beaten.

The Radnorshire side are on the road next week as they visit Corwen - with Llanfair United travelling to second placed Cefn Albion.
