Rhosgoch Rangers are the new holders of the Otway Cup after the beat the holders, Hay St Marys in a thrilling final at Llanandras Park on Sunday, 4 May.
Rhos seemed to have things pretty much under control at half-time when they led 3-1, courtesy of a couple of goals from Joe Price and one from Matt Croose.
But Hay were never going to relinquish their crown easily and they hit back after the break to score twice to tie things up at 3-3.
They also rattled the woodwork on a number of occasions as they pushed hard for the winner, but the decisive goal was to go the way of Rhosgoch when Joe Price completed his hat-trick with around 10 minutes remaining.
