Swalec Leagues Round Up



Penallta are the new leaders in Division One East after they continued their impressive form, bagging a bonus point 31-22 victory over Heol y Cyw.
The Pitmen outscored their rivals four tries to three, with Gavin Spiller getting two of the home side’s scores to go with touchdowns from Gareth Edwards and Gregg Haines.
Andre Soroko converted all four and Jonny Wright added a penalty as Penallta moved to the summit of the table ahead of RGC 1404, whose game against Tredegar was postponed.
Ystrad Rhondda sit just behind Penallta in second after they secured a convincing 31-3 win over local rivals Treorchy.
Rhys Truelove was the hosts' hero of the day scoring a try, penalty and four conversions, while Bleddyn Davies, David Gratton and Alex Webber were the other Ystrad men to touch down. All the Zebras could muster was a Celyn Ashton penalty.
North Wales region RG1404 will have to wait to make their home debut after their match against Tredegar was postponed.
Tondu have opened up early daylight at the top of Division One West as they produced an excellent performance to see off Waunarlwydd 27-21.
Paul Smithson, David Bishop, Ross McGraw and Gavin Eagle were on the scoresheet for the leaders, but Waun thoroughly deserved their losing bonus point.
Many people’s pre-season title favourites Carmarthen Athletic finally recorded their first victory of the season, 24-12 against Ammanford, with Viv Jenkins, Chris Francis and Jack Maynard getting the vital tries.
At the foot of the table, Aberavon Quins’ wait for a first win goes on following a 29-19 loss to Kidwelly with Gareth Rees kicking 14 of the Ambers' points.
In Division Two West, Felinfoel have finally ended Maesteg Quins' two and a half years unbeaten run in the Swalec leagues thanks to a 24-19 victory. Curtis Morris and Simon Delaney were the try scorers for Foel, but it was the boot of Aled Thomas that secured victory adding 14 points.
Elsewhere in the division, Quins’ archrivals Maesteg were racking up another win as their rich vein of form continues, seeing off Haverfordwest 44-22.
The Llynfi Valley side helped themselves to six tries through Michael Collins, Mauro Perilli Bello, Lawrence Howley, Karl Hocking, Mike Powell and Luke Hollyman.
Harry Rees' try double helped Llantrisant to their six try bonus point 49-20 demolition at Abercynon in Two East, while Nelson still remain at the head of the table after they ripped apart Tylorstown 47-8.
Denbigh maintained their unblemished record in Two North - but only just - beating Llandudno 15-13 through tries by Dwayne Speakman-Jones and Dion Howatson, and a conversion and penalty by Tom Seedon. At the other end of the table, Llangollen are still looking for their first point after a 48-18 thrashing at home to Abergele.
Llandeilo got off the mark in Three West thanks to a 20-8 win over Lampeter, thanks to tries from Dafydd Thomas, Leighton Rees and Sion Wells.
Aberavon Green Stars continue to be Three South West’s whipping boys with Pencoed dishing out the pain this weekend as they secured a 44-5 home win. Winger Richie Samuel was the toast of the Verlands as the speedster crossed for a hat-trick.
Fairwater got the better of Penarth in Three South East with a 27-16 showing, with touchdowns coming from Ryan Evans, Luke O’Brien and Michael Andrews.
The Davies brothers inspired Penlan to their 30-0 triumph at Pontardawe, with 18 year old Luke grabbing a brace, and Scott adding two conversions as well as helping to set up Jason Garmy’s opening minute try. Hooker Dean also posed problems for the hosts all day in the loose.
Porthcawl took over the top spot in Five South Central thanks to a 40-15 beating of Tonna, Steve Phillips scoring two of their six tries, while in the battle between two title hopefuls, Glyncoch won 24-14 at Pontrhydyfen with Gareth Way getting a try brace.
