It looks as if you have two problems - optical character recognition of old newspaper text that is faulty, and Google translation. Medi is September I wonder if 2Sain is 'ugain' or 20. Sant Pedr or St Peter's is the 19th century church with the big spire in the middle of Pontardawe. Medrus is clever or skilful. G.T.S.C may be a Welsh translation of some recognised musical qualification.
