Monmouth Town surged into the third round of the Nathaniel Car Sales Cup following an impressive 2-0 success over division one rivals Ton Pentre.
The Gwent side got off to the perfect start thanks to an early strike by Nick Harrhy, and the former Carmarthen Town striker secured safe passage to the next round with his second ten minutes from time.
The reward for Monmouth is a home tie against Risca in what promises to be a tasty all-Gwent showdown.
Meanwhile in division one, West End were held to a 1-1 draw by Bryntirion and surrendered their briefly held leadership to AFC Porth, who ground out a 2-0 win at battling Aberdare Town.
Shane Davies scored from the penalty spot to give Porth a deserved lead, and Geraint Williams added the second to secure the points and send the Rhondda club back to the summit.
Reigning champions Cambrian & Clydach remain just one point behind as they posted an emphatic 4-1 win over Goytre United. James Mahoney grabbed a brace and was ably assisted by strikes from Scott Seldon and Dane Williams.
Haverfordwest County and Taffs Well took home a share of the spoils in a thrilling 3-3 encounter at Bridge Meadow, while in the basement battle, Cwmbran Celtic defeated Tata Steel 3-2 thanks to goals from Josh Bull, Mike Dewar and Dominic Connor to move off the bottom.
Division Two pacemakers Goytre were 2-0 victors at Newport YMCA, courtesy of an early strike from Luke Prosser and a second half effort from Ricky Jeremiah. They have now opened up a nine point gap, with closest challengers Briton Ferry Llansawel going down 3-2 at Ammanford.
Honours were even in the Ely clash, with Caerau and Rangers finishing all square at 1-1.
Elsewhere, there was nothing to chose between the top two in Division Three as Pontypridd and AFC Llwydcoed finished deadlocked at 2-2. Nathan White and a Darren Cullen penalty were Town’s scorers, with Andy Hammett and Ryan Barry replying for the Cynon Valley visitors. In an ill-tempered second half, Ponty were reduced to nine men as Gary Gunstone and Nathan White received their marching orders, with Llwydcoed’s Matthew Docherty also seeing red.
Cardiff Met narrowed the gap at the top by virtue of a 4-0 trouncing of Treowen Stars. Finally, Risca United remain the only unbeaten side in the division following an impressive 4-1 win over Tredegar Town, with the goals shared between Russell Scott, Rob Aldridge, Ian Turner and Liam Kidman.
