WHAT a difference 12 months makes!

Last season, Jordan MacCarter bagged four goals on the opening night, but these weren't enough to stop Clawddnewydd from losing a thriller 6-5 versus Rhewl.

A year on and MacCarter grabbed another opening night hat-trick and this time, it helped Mark Lewis' side to a 4-2 win versus Rhewl.

Rhydian Edwards was also on target for Clawdd, who are the early season Summer League leaders.

Dyfan Lloyd netted both of Rhewl's responses.

Back-to-back champions Henllan are at the foot of the table following their 2-0 loss at last season's runners-up Cefn.

Sam Benbow and a cracker from Guto Owen gave Alun "Junior" Owen's side the three points.

Nantglyn recovered from a two-goal deficit to see off Llanrhaeadr 3-2.

Tomos Davies and Ian Evans had Martin Baldry's charges in the box seat, only for Gruff Roberts (2) and Lewys Jones to turn things around.

Charlie Caton's 92nd minute header salvaged a draw for Llangynhafal versus Llanfair.

Caton had earlier put the hosts in front, while Gareth Martin bagged the other goal for Martin Dyer's team.

Rich Lloyd, a superb Huw Price free kick and Jason Alexander did have Llanfair 3-1 up.

Two goals from Josh Jones set Llandyrnog on their way to a 2-1 success at home to Ysceifiog.

Joe Harrison was on target for Tony Doyle's visitors.
