Welsh Cup QFs (single matches):
Penybont 3–2 Taff's Well. Taff's Well FC plays in Cymru South (2) and is from the village of Taff's Well, just north of Cardiff.

Penybont FC is from Bridgend and it is on second position in Cymru Premier (1). However, Taff's Well led 1-2 until the 87th minute, when two goals by Penybont gave them the victory and qualification to the SFs!
