The Pennies hadn’t topped the table in the final run in, and needed to win their last match to leapfrog Newport Corinthians to top spot, after Corries won 5-1 the previous night at home to Abercarn to overhaul long-time table toppers Cwmbran Celtic.

And time was running out with just eight minutes left when Curtis Methven broke the deadlock after being set up by substitute Keane Flage-Donovan.

And three minutes later, the scorer returned the compliment for the super sub to fire the second, with the final whistle minutes later sparking scenes of wild celebration.
