Beddau ease into the next round

Beddau, who play their trade in One East, comfortably moved into the second round of the Swalec Cup with a 25-6 triumph over One West outfit Waunarlwydd at Mount Pleasant Park.
The hosts' side outscored their rivals four tries to nil, but it was the Green and Blacks that took a 6-3 advantage into the interval thanks to two Jonny Davies penalties.
The One East side sprang to life after the break, producing a dominant second half performance with centre Bradley Coombes scything over for a brace, and Rob Downes and wing Phil Davies also crossing the white wash. James Read added a conversion to his first half penalty to complete the scoring.
Beddau’s reward is a home tie against Mountain Ash in the next round, while as for Waunarlwydd, they’ll be hoping for a better start to 2012 than their end to 2011.
The cold weather decimated the majority of the fixtures in Division One East including the much anticipated top of the table clash between Ebbw Vale and Bargoed, but sadly, only two matches made it to the field.
Gilfach Goch bounced back from their disappointing loss in the Cup last weekend to notch up their eleventh win with a 26-9 try bonus triumph over Mounatin Ash at Parc Duffryn Pennar.
There was nothing to chose between the two sides at the interval at 6-6, with Ian Davies firing home the visitors' penalties.
Gowch upped the ante after the break to cross for four tries through Damien Adams, Michael Hughes, Ashley Copic and Matthew Parker.
All of the Old Firm’s points came through the boot of Josh Lewis who slotted three penalties.
Merthyr ended their four match losing streak, defeating the visiting Tredegar 28-7 at the Wern.
The Ironmen bagged a try bonus thanks to touchdowns through back row Geraint Edmunds, scrum half Darryl Jenkins, and second row Nick White, with them also being awarded a penalty try. Outside half Lloyd Hynes landed all four conversions.
It was newcomers Tredegar’s first match since November 19 due to postponements and internationals, and perhaps it showed as they were restricted to a first half solitary try from outside half Greg Jones, who also added the extras.
