Cwmllynfell had to make do with a losing bonus point - Peter Thomas touched down for their solitary try while Rory Williams was on target with four penalties.
At the bottom of the table, Crymych claimed only the third win of their campaign as they battled to a 19-3 home success over Carmarthen Athletic.
Nick Bevan, Carwyn Rees and Elgan Vittle all went over for the hosts, while Rhys Davies and Dyfan Dafydd added a conversion each.
In the day’s other fixture Whitland inflicted Ammanford’s 13th defeat of the season as they cantered to a 28-18 win at Parc Llwyntygwyn.
The Borderers’ Zac France-Miller was the star of the show for the hosts, as the back row was rewarded for an industrious afternoon’s work with a brace, while Lee Glanville and Mike Gorgio also went over for the home side. The victory sees Whitland move up to seventh in the table.
