Cwmllynfell end Glynneath's Plate ambitions

Cwmllynfell got the better of their Two West rivals Glynneath to move into the Swalec Plate quarterfinals with  a tightly contested 6-3 home triumph.
In a low scoring encounter with defence very much on top, two Peter Thomas penalties for the hosts proved pivotal, while last year’s runners up were restricted to a Jack O’Reily penalty.
The win sees Cwmllynfell set up a mouth-watering quarterfinal against Two East pacemakers Ystrad Rhondda in the next round.
Meanwhile, Maesteg Quins continued their giant killing Cup run with 17-14 over Two West’s Kidwelly .
The Quins, who currently top Three South West, touched down twice in a tight encounter through Geraint Evans and Sean Cleary, while Gareth Lewis slotted both conversions and fired home an all important penalty.
The Black and Ambers' solitary try came through Richard Watts, with Gareth Watts also landing three penalties, but it was not enough to avoid defeat.
Elsewhere, Penallta put paid to Senghenydd’s hopes of repeating their Millennium Stadium heroics of last year with a 22-3 victory at the Welfare Ground.
The Pitmen were made to work hard up front against the dogged Three East side, but a brace from full back Seb Thomas and a Rhys Clarke touchdown ended the hosts' resistance.
Finally, in the only rearranged Swalec Bowl match, Resolven clinched the last quarterfinal berth courtesy of an 18-6 home win over Trehebert.
The Four South West highfliers outscored the visitors two tries to nil, with Ashley Morgan and Lloyd Morgan touching down. Dan Felton landed two penalties and a conversion.
