Phil Thomas one man show sees off Rhiwbina

Highflying Llanishen notched up their ninth win in Division Three South East, bagging a 22-13 home victory over neighbours Rhiwbina, despite being down to 14 men for over an hour when a second row was sent off for a spear tackle.

The hosts' hero of the day was Phil Thomas who amassed all of his team’s points through a race away interception touchdown, as well as firing home three penalties, a conversion and slotting two drop goals

The Squirrels' only try of the match came before the interval when a well worked move saw James Egan going over, Richard Saltmarsh added the extras to two earlier penalties.

In the second half, Rhiwbina were also reduced to 14 players for most of it with two players receiving yellow cards, before Nick Howell went off injured leaving the visitors with 14 men for the final 20 minutes as they had used up all of their substitutes.

Brecon notched up their fifth win with a 25-17 home success over Dowlais.
The hosts bagged a try bonus thanks to touchdowns from Eifion Jones, Owen Morgan, Seb Evans and Rob Price, while Gary Davies added one conversion and a penalty.
The Dragons meanwhile could only muster two tries through Rob Downes and James Churchill, with Downes also firing home a penalty and both conversions.
Meanwhile, Nelson swooped to the summit with a 76-22 rampage against Penarth. The highfliers outscored the visitors twelve tries to three.
Elsewhere, Fairwater overcame Pentyrch 24-3, St Peters ran in five tries in their 29-7 victory over Aberdare and Tonyrefail narrowly edged out Gwernyfed 14-11
