Knighton Town are back in the top division of the Mid Wales League after being crowned division two champions back in May. Indeed it was tonights opponents, Hay St Mary's, that they pipped to the title by five points last season.
It was the visitors who took the lead after eight minutes when Jack Biggs fired home after a good cross from the left.
The Saints doubled their lead when Matt Croose headed home a 54th minute corner and should have made it three but Brendan Hackett's effort crashed back off the crossbar.
Matt Croose heads home for The Saints......and duly celebrates!
Matt James (70) did make it 3-0 to The Saints when he capitalised on a poor back pass to run in on goal and fire home. Game over, well not quite as it turned out.
The Robins responded with a late comeback, scoring two, what turned out to be, consolation goals. A free-kick was parried by the Hay St Mary's goalkeeper before being turned into the net by Oliver Richards (86) before substitute Lee Sutton headed home in stoppage time. Too little too late but it made for great drama. Overall a tremendous evening in Radnorshire!
