Ystrad Rhondda keep double dreams alive

Ystrad Rhondda’s dreams of claiming a Cup and League double remain firmly in their grasp after they comfortably saw off Two West visitors Felinfoel 28-5.

The One East highfliers defied the heavy conditions to run in five tries, with full back David Gratton bagging a brace while Daniel John, Ryan Howells and Nathan Hughes also crossed the whitewash.

Ystrad will be joined in the semi-final draw on Tuesday by two fellow One East outfits as both Heol y Cyw and Rhydyfelin avoided potential banana skins against lower league opposition.

Heol y Cyw were tested by visitors Pill Harriers but the Cockerels eventually triumphed 11-3 in muddy conditions.

Paul Songhurst touched down for the only try of the match, while Mike Huckbridge fired home two penalties to seal their last four place.

Meanwhile, a late try from Lewis Smith ensured Rhydyfelin overcame a spirited showing from Llantrisant to win 18-13.

Cwmllynfell are the last side from the west of the country left standing after they overcame Kidwelly 22-13 in an all One West showdown at Parc Stephens.

Speedster Trystan Lewis was at the double for the visitors, while scrum half Alun Sterl also went over. Peter Thomas added seven points with the boot.
