Aberavon Quins moved into the top four in Division Two West for the first time this season with an impressive 29-14 victory over Cwmllynfell.
Paul Morgan’s men, who have been steadily moving up the table, ran in four tries through Michael Parfitt, Chris Jones, Matthew Morgan and Jamie Davies, while Matthew Potsuma fired home a penalty and three conversions.
The visitors, whose form seems to have dipped in recent weeks, were restricted to two touchdowns from Alex Wilkins, with Craig Jones adding both conversions.
Pacemakers Glynneath notched up their tenth victory with a hardfought 23-15 win over Loughor at Villa Field.
Both sides played some entertaining rugby in difficult conditions but it was the leaders that came out on top thanks to touchdowns from full back Dai Evans and backrow Grant Bignall, while the talented Jack O’Reily proved to be the difference, stroking home three penalties and both conversions.
The Blues meanwhile will feel a little hard done by to narrowly miss out on a losing bonus point, after themselves crossed twice through wing Richard Thomas and centre Jason Howells. Peter Smiriglia landed a conversion and a penalty.
Meanwhile, Maesteg finally secured their first point, albeit a losing bonus point, with the Llynfi Valley side losing out 8-6 at Felinfoel, but with new coach Richard Webster at the helm, things are looking up for the strugglers.
Felinfoel crossed for the only try of the match in the first half through Dan Thomas, with Rhys Williams slotting a penalty to take an 8-0 advantage into the interval.
It was Maesteg, however, that had the better of the second half with Aled Thomas slotting two penalties and the Llynfi Valley should have pinched victory at the death, but their penalty attempt drifted just wide of the upright.
Elsewhere, Kenfig Hill remain hot on the heels of pacemakers Glynneath after the Mules picked up a 16-3 victory at Kidwelly, with Tom Briggs going over for the only try of the match.
Crymych’s form continues to improve after seemlingly getting the monkey off their back with a win a couple of weeks back and the new boys picked up their second, running out 21-5 home victors over Builth Wells.
Finally, Skewen notched up their fifth win defeating Aberystwyth 17-10 at Plascrug.
