Tredegar's Division One East campaign couldn’t come to an end quick enough following yet another defeat, this time at mid-table Beddau.
The visitors had won just once in the league going into the game and despite only trailing 16-7 at the interval they folded in the second-half as Beddau secured a bonus point.
Fly-half Cameron Pimlow was in try-scoring form for Beddau, crossing twice, while flanker Rhys Watkins, wing Garan Pearce and No 8 Abraham Papii also got in on the act as the hosts moved to sixth in the table.
The only moment of joy for the Tredegar fans in the 37-7 reverse was Christian Jones’s try which was converted by namesake Richard.
In Three East, Pontypool United threw a spanner in the works of Garndiffaith’s title hopes with a 25-11 triumph over the leaders at the Memorial Ground. The success pushed Pontypool to third, level on points with Pill Harriers.
Richard Jones got Pontypool’s sole try against Garndiffaith with the rest of the points coming from the boot of Morgan West and Darryl Carter.
Oakdale crossed five times in their 44-24 victory at Blaina in Four East with David Fortune bagging two. Adam Johnson, Stuart Smith and Brett Turner were the other players to get on the scoresheet for the away side.
Liam Crandon converted all five and kicked three penalties but credit must go to bottom club Blaina for earning a bonus point themselves for scoring four tries.
There was something of an upset further up the Four East table as New Tredegar won 24-13 at third-placed Blaenavon. Centre Ricky Hawkins, wing Gavin Stockman, scrum-half Josh Matthews and prop Julian Willets were all on target for the Rhymney Valley club.
Tycroes took over top spot from Penlan in Five South West with a bonus-point victory at home to Gowerton. Andrew Burden got the visitors’ points with Tristan Morgan touching down twice for the new leaders. Their other scores came through Gareth Jones and a penalty try.
The battle of the bottom two in Five East saw Crumlin run in five tries to beat Pontllanfraith 45-20 and move off the foot of the table. Craig Hamer, Aaron Farmer, Kristian Perry, Jordan Richards and Corey Strickland did the damage for Crumlin.
In Five South East, Canton were far too good for struggling Ferndale and cantered home to a nine-try 58-17 hammering. Peter Hughes, Martin Ridley and Richard Kemble all crossed the whitewash twice while Nathan Palmer, Luke Radford and Luke Regan also scored tries.
Blaenau, bottom of Six West, lost 28-14 to Pantyffynon at home but the visitors couldn’t quite manage the extra bonus point.
