The last Swalec league rugby action of 2011 was badly affected by the wet weather with fixtures in both Division Five East and Five South East falling foul of waterlogged pitches.
Highflying Cilfynydd, took full advantage of Five South East leaders Clwb Rygbi Cymry Caerdydd’s match postponement as they convincingly defeated Deri 34-5 to move level on points with the pacemakers.
Cil made light work of the wet and windy conditions as they helped themselves to six tries, with prop Andrew Hedford bulldozing his way to a hat trick, while back row Aaron Atkin, full back Kevin James and centre Connor Gaye also touched down. Scrum half Dalme King slotted two penalties.
Deri on the other hand are still looking for their first win, as they prop up the table heading into the New Year.
Abertysswg returned to winning ways as they swooped up to third with a comfortable try bonus 31-3 home triumph over struggling Old Penarthians.
The Falcons ran in four tries courtesy of second row Stephen Jones, fly half Jamie Howells, full back Steve Klein and centre Michael Worgan. Howells also produced a fine display with the boot to slot home all four conversions and a penalty.
Elsewhere, St Albans picked up a much needed 27-16 win over fellow strugglers Dinas Powys.
In the only match to make it to the pitch in Five East, Blackwood Stars notched up their fifth win of their campaign with a hard fought 22-13 home success over Newport Saracens.
The hosts outscored their rivals three tries to one in horrendous conditions at Glan Yr Afon.
Wing Lee Cobley darted over for his side's first before second row Chris Brown and scrum half Mark Birkby went over. Centre Martin Rush added two conversions and also fired home a penalty.
The victory sees Stars jump four places to move into the top half of the table.
