Hat-trick heroes give Wanderers title

HAT-TRICKS from fly-half Jonathan Griffiths and wing Karl Evans helped Llanelli Wanderers clinch the Division Four West crown against Burry Port.

The Wanderers have been involved in a titanic tussle with Amman Utd all season and had to beat Burry Port with a bonus point to make sure they could not be caught by their closest rivals who have one game remaining.

And Saturday’s 42-10 win was never in doubt as the home side eased their supporters’ nerves with half a dozen tries, all of which were converted by Rhys Phillips.

Llanybydder were also on form as they saw off the challenge of Aberaeron 30-13, winning by four tries to one. Gary Evans (2), Paul Davies and Llyr Jones bagged the tries.

In Four South West, champions Maesteg Celtic were beaten 31-12 at Trebanos for whom Christian Jones, Rhys Thomas, Sean Haymer, Chris Balfe and Matthew Edwards all touched down.

A win in their final league outing will guarantee Trebanos the runners-up spot though if they slip-up, Resolven, who won 31-13 at Cwmavon, can take advantage.

Porth Harlequins have been confirmed as champions in Four South East following their 19-14 victory at Abercwmboi while there is still a four-way race for the title in Four East.

Leaders Abercarn won 48-19 at New Tredegar, second-placed Cwmbran triumphed 41-17 at Oakdale, Talywain in third thrashed Blaina 85-0 and Cardiff Quins beat Chepstow 33-12.
