Giant killers Glyncoch move into last 8

Division Six Central pacemakers Glyncoch pulled off another shock in the Swalec Bowl to secure their place in the quarterfinal draw, thanks to a hardfought 13-9 victory over Glyncorrwg of Division Four South West.

The giant killers crossed for the only try of the match through Lee Goddard, with Sean Baggs landing the extras and two penalties.

The hosts were restricted to three Gareth Goodridge penalties as they failed to breakdown the well organised Glyncoch defence.

Caerleon also got in on the giant killing act with the Six East highfliers convincingly dispatching Division Four South East hosts Barry 27-5.

The lower league visitors comprehensively defeated their rivals, running in three tries to one, with Huw Williams, David Evans and Richard Harris all crossing the whitewash. Josh Jones produced a fine kicking display, adding all three conversions and also firing home two penalties.

The Bombers meanwhile could only manage a solitary Dave Probert touchdown.

Meanwhile in the all Four East battle, league leaders Talywain downed fellow highfliers Cardiff Quins 25-18 at the Diamond Ground.

Talywain got off to a blistering start, racing to a 22-3 half time lead thanks to tries from Dale Nash, Martin Savage and Adam Williams, while Nathan Davies slotted two conversions and a penalty.

Quins came out after the break with the wind at their back and reduced the deficit through two Rhys Jones touchdowns, with Matt Phillips adding a conversion and a penalty, but a further Davies penalty from the visitors kept the Quins at bay.

Division Four West trailblazers Amman United were too powerful for the travelling Gowerton, running out 28-0 home winners.

United crossed the whitewash three times through back row Karl Worsfold, scrum half Joel Foster and wing Dean Williams, while Adrian Thomas landed two conversions and three penalties.

There was mixed fortunes for West Wales clubs making the long journey north, with Five South West's Tycroes comfortably overcoming COBRA 22-14, but Milford Haven narrowly lost out 25-22 at Dolgellau, with Lleon Pugh on target with a last minute penalty to deny the Mariners extra time.

Elsewhere, New Tredegar did just enough at Hafodyrynys to keep their Cup dream alive, winning 11-10.

Finally, the only match to fall victim to the weather was the clash between Resolven and Treherbert, with the match postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
