Ystrad Rhondda cruise into third round

Ystrad Rhondda easily dispatched fellow Two East side Abercynon 43-13 at Gelligalad to progress to the third round of the Swalec Plate.
Ystrad, who top the Two East table, dominated proceedings throughout, helping themselves to eight tries with full back David Grattan completeing a hat-trick, while wing Alex Webber, prop Neil Jones, centre Andy Hutchings and outside half Rhys Truelove also touched down. Webber meanwhile landed four conversions.
The visitors could only manage a solitary try through Geraint Hill, while Matthew Turner fired home two penalties and a conversion.
The Two East table toppers' reward in the next round is a trip to Three South East outfit Fairwater.
In another all-Two East affair, highflying Ynysybwl defeated Fleur de Lys 30-17 at Trelyn Park.
Bwl ran in three touchdowns through a Lewis Ryan brace with Rob Thomas also going over, while Nathan Ellis had a fine day with the boot, racking up 15 points through three conversions and three penalties.
Loughor of Two West comfortably defeated their lower league opposition Penclawdd 36-14 to also progress.
The Blues crossed for five times as their fitness and clinical finishing came to the fore with Richard Thomas, Simon Stonham, Jonathan Bowen crossing and a double from Rhys Corcoran.
The Donks could only manage one try in a match heavily influenced by the wind through Jamie Snell, while Jamie Moure fired home three penalties.
Loughor now host Three West highfliers Dunvant in the next round.
Meanwhile, Cwmllynfell were pushed all the way by lower league Morriston with the Two West side narrowly prevailing 9-6 thanks to three Clive Llewellyn penalties.
Elsewhere, Nelson made lightwork of fellow Three South East outfit Tonyrefail with the Unicorns triumphing 48-7 and Vardre narrowly defeated Brynamman 9-6.
