RICHIE Powell scored twice as Llandrindod Wells consolidated their place in the Spar Mid Wales league first division with a 3-1 win at Machynlleth.

Richie Powell opened the scoring from an Ashley Jones pass on the half hour and Shaun Nicholls headed a second from Joel Layton’s corner. Powell bagged his second five minutes in to the second half after Robbie Nicholls had seen his effort saved and that was all but game over for Llandrindod who have now won five of their last six.

In Division Two, Presteigne ended what has been a generally disappointing campaign with a 1-0 home success over Four Crosses. Josh Gardner netted in the first half to give Presteigne a seventh league win of the season.
