Carmarthen Wanderers' bid to make an immediate return to the top flight remains on course as they opened up a 24 point advantage at the top of Division Two, after easily seeing off Morriston by eight wickets.
The Swansea outfit batted first but were restricted to 118-9 in their allotted overs after some economical bowling from the Wanderers attack, with Ian Marsh picking up 4-21 and Gareth Grant collecting 3-34.
The Wanderers comfortably reached their goal 121-2, with Owain Davies, 45, and Gareth Thomas, 36, both fiishing unbeaten.
Although Cowbridge lost ground in the title race, they did open up a 48 point advantage over their nearest promotion rivals thanks to a 34 run triumph over Briton Ferry Steel.
Meanwhile, Aberdare, who were at one stage challenging for promotion, slipped to seventh after suffering their third loss of the season in a two wicket defeat at Bronwydd.
Aberdare won the toss and elected to bat posting 151-8 in their allotted overs, Mike Roberts and John Derrick were the best with the bat both contributing 34, while Luke Garthwaite finished 30 not out.
Bronwydd, who move up to third as a result of this win, had just three more deliveries remaining when they reached their total at 152-8. Steffan Jones was the star man for the Carmarthenshire side making 43, while Steven Williams hit a useful 33. Michael Weathersby was the pick of the bowlers capturing 3-48.
Elsewhere, there were winning draws for Llanelli and Llandysul over Gorseinon and Skewen respectively.
