Rhiwbina returned to winning ways in Division Three South East with a hard fought 23-18 victory over visitors Fairwater.
This was the first time the two teams had met in any form of competition, and it was the Casella brothers, Joe and Dylan, who made the difference for the Squirrels.
Both sides scored three tries, but a decisive try by Joe Casella and eight points from the boot of brother Dylan, along with tries by John Bickel and Matt Lintern, made sure of victory for the Squirrels in heavy conditions at Parc Caedelyn.
Fairwater looked to attack throughout and scored three tries of their own, including a brace by Ryan Cummings and one from Tom Foley, with a penalty from the boot of Lewis Bratcher.
But it was the contribution from brothers Casella and a sound performance by the pack that ensured victory for the Squirrels, and this result saw Rhiwbina replace their visitors in 5th position halfway through their first year in this division.
Meanwhile, trailblazers St Peters heaped more woe on basement boys Penarth, running out 59-5 victors at the Athletic Field.
The Rocks were rampant throughout, helping themselves to nine tries including a brace for centre Sonny Driscoll with back row Josh Dunleavy, Keiron Driscoll, outside half Gavin Cooper, second row Matthew Khan, Bryn Evans, Danny Evans and Nick Kelly also crossing the whitewash.
Elsewhere, Pentyrch recorded only their second victory with a try bonus 28-15 win over Brecon and Aberdare came out on top 14-5 against Gwernyfed.
