Darren Thomas bagged a brace of tries for the Waterwheelers,
while Daniel Watts also crossed. Outside half Paul Smithson added eight points
with the boot.
The result moves Tondu 12 points clear of Cwmllynfell in
second, who didn’t play, although they have now played three games more than
their nearest rivals.
At the other end of the table, relegation threatened Skewen
boosted their hopes of avoiding the drop with a 20-11 home win over Kidwelly.
The hosts outscored their rivals two tries to one with
touchdowns from Matthew Myatt and James Ball, while Anthony Buselli slotted
both conversions and two penalties to deny the mid-table Black and Ambers a
bonus point.
Meanwhile, Carmarthen Athletic leapt to fifth in the table
with a bonus point, 39-15 success at local rivals, Llangennech.
Athletic’s Scott Maynard was the star of the show, as the
scrum half helped himself to 24 of his side’s points through a brace, four
conversions and two penalties. The visitors also crossed three more times
through Dyfed Morgan, Rhys Schiavone and Adam Davies.
The only fixture scheduled in Division One East saw Heol y
Cyw heap more woe on relegation doomed Tredegar with a staggering 73-0 thumping.
The Cockerels were rampant throughout and ran in 11 tries in
all. Paul Songhurst claimed a hat-trick, with Rhys Eskin and Gareth Howells
crossing twice. Wayne Howe, Nicky Bees, Luke O’Driscoll and Mike Huckridge also
went over in yet another game all those associated with Tredegar will want to
forget.
Rhiwbina scored nine tries in a runaway 55-10 victory against visitors Garndiffaith at Caedelyn and returned to second position in Division Two East.
The outstanding Bret Chatwin crossed for four tries, including a superb first half hat-trick, and looked dangerous every time he had the ball in his hands.
Garn had a man yellow carded as early as the fifth minute, and were constantly under pressure in the scrums, where the Squirrels' front row were dominant.
Chatwin had the first of his tries after a break by Richard Saltmarsh, who converted four of the first half tries. Pat Howell stole the ball and charged over for the second Rhiwbina try, and not to be outdone, Paul Smith bulldozed through for the Squirrels' third try.
Great handling saw Chatwin complete his hat-trick, and Garn responded with a try by Rhys Wells.
Wells scored his second try soon after the restart, but then it was all Rhiwbina as they scored further tries through Gareth McCarthy and Joe O'Sullivan, and a 30-metre special from Sean Cochlin, before Chatwin sliced through under the posts for his fourth try, converted by Josh Davies.
