Goalkeeper Jack Lansdown made a big first half save to keep the game goalless before a few harsh words from coach Karl Lewis at half-time led to an improved team performance and three goals.

Sean Williams and Robert Jones were on target at Bridgend Street. Jones fired the winner after 87 minutes.

Llantwit Major finished their season with an unbeaten run of eight matches to finish top, ahead of runners-up STM Sports, and their club presentation evening is on Friday, June 9.
