Cambrian Welfare rounded off a triumphant campaign as they came from behind to beat Nelson, 43-27 at Sardis Road and secure the Worthington’s Mid District Division One Cup.

It bagged a second piece of silverware of the season for the Welfare, who had already been crowned champions of Division One East Central to earn promotion to next season’s new look Championship.

Nelson had themselves battled back from behind to defeat Builth Wells in a play-off at Brecon to book their place in the district final.
They were also looking to end the season on a high after missing out on the top three promotion spots in Division One East.
