Bryn were unfortunate to draw one of the Premier Divisions top teams in the first round of the Open Cup, and suffered accordingly.

Giants Grave earned a deserved 2-0 victory after taking control of the match in the second period with two well-worked goals.

Bryn had had opportunities in the first half but Mark James and Julian Jones missed out.

At the other end, the impressive Mark Griffiths and the returning Tom Hurley gave Bryn stability against two of the leagues stronger forwards.

Bryn will be hoping for a better month in November following a real testing time during October

Meanwhile, the club would like to thank Brynaman First Responders for their donation of First Aid kits to the mini, junior and senior section.

"We can't thank the First Responders enough for this donation to the club, the first aid kits within the club had needed replenishing, and this gesture will be greatly welcomed,” said a club spokesman.
