Battle for promotion goes down to the wire


Pill Harrier and Senghenydd both remain in the hunt to clinch the runners up and final promotion spot in Division Three East.
Pill currently sit in the coveted final promotion spot and strengthened their position with a try bonus 36-8 triumph over Abertillery B G. The highfliers crossed four times through Dave Tovey, Dwayne Bailey, Brendan Lampitt and Curtis Watkins.
Senghenydd meanwhile, who travel to Pill Harriers next week in a promotion showdown, also bagged a valuable victory with a hard-fought 15-12 win over Pontypool. The Saints touched down twice through Lloyd Rowlands and Nathan Gittens, while James Hallett was on target with a conversion and a penalty.
Meanwhile, Nelson moved into pole position to bag promotion along with Llanishen from Division Three South East with a nail biting 7-6 triumph at Dowlais.  The Unicorns went over for the only try of the match through Darryl Thomas, while Dan Jones added the all important extras.
Maesteg Quins maintained their amazing record in Division Three South West with a 59-6 home success over Taibach.
The Quins, who triumphed in Four South West last season, were never troubled by the visitors as they crossed for nine tries though Ryan Lovett, Andrew Healy, Owen Richard, Nathan Morgan, Lee Ronan, Sean Cleary and a well-taken hat trick from Dean Ronan.
The Tigers, who could do little to prevent the one side encounter, could only manage two Michael Sweeney penalties.
Elsewhere, Tumble ended their Division Three West campaign with a 26-22 home win over Gorseinon.
The Magpies, who trailed at the break, came out firing in the second half, adding to Steve Hewitt and Daniel Matthews' tries through Gareth Jones and Nathan Wilcox touchdowns, while Hewitt added two penalties.
Gorseinon had to be content with a losing bonus point thanks to four Andrew Colwill penalties, and touchdowns from Josh Simmonds and Alun Evans.
