CHEPSTOW Town secured an Ardal South East point with a 2-2 comeback draw at Croesyceiliog on Saturday, to secure a five-point buffer on the bottom two.

Having lost 3-1 away to neighbours Undy in midweek, goals from Mason Keepin-Davies (17) and Adam Wakley (57) ensured a first point in four games.

But the Jockeys 3rds stayed top of East Gwent 2 with a 2-1 home win over Caldicot Castle 2nds in midweek, followed by a 5-0 tonking of visitors Tintern Abbey on Saturday.

Ben Leamon put Chepstow in front in the first minute at the weekend, and later added a second, backed by Alex Meddins, Connor Hughes and Theo White.

Rockfield Rovers a point behind are assured of at least second following a 3-3 draw at home to Tintern in midweek and a 7-0 hammering of hosts Caldicot Castle 3rds on Saturday.

Ben Wiggins secured the draw with a 71st-minute leveller after strikes from Tommy Tynan and Mason Hughes, matched by Abbey goals from Darryl Reynolds, a Rob Davies penalty and Taka Yamagata.

Then Saturday's magnificent seven came courtesy of a Tynan hat-trick, a Ben Johnson brace, Wiggins and Tom Mulvaney.

Chepstow were hosting Rovers last night (Tuesday, April 28) after the Beacon went to print in a title six-pointer.

Elsewhere, Usk Town's hopes of avoiding the drop from Gwent Premier 2 were dashed by a 3-1 loss at Trinant, Rio Richardson with the late consolation.

Thornwell R&W are safe, but were blitzed 7-1 by table-topping hosts Brynmawr, Simon McCluskey their scorer, while their 2nds lost 3-2 away to Caldicot Town 3rds in an East Gwent One relegation battle, Lewis Wynn and Sam Schroepfer on target.

Llanarth-based Glascoed FC lost 4-0 away to New Inn Development in Gwent Central One in midweek, but bounced back with a 3-0 win at basement boys Panteg on Saturday, Gary Phillips, Kevin Andrews and Shane Davies the marksmen.

Redbrook Rovers 2nds also secured a 0-0 draw at Westbury in North Gloucestershire 3.
