The Ironmen clinched their sixth victory in seven starts as they proved
to be far too strong for Gowch.
Lee Jarvis’ men hit their visitors for six with tries from full back
Owain Morgan (2), Gareth Way, Josh Flye and Chris Davies.
Gowch’s only try of the match came before the break through second row
Sean Purnell.
Meanwhile, Ystrad Rhondda moved up to second as they inflicted Heol y
Cyw’s first defeat in seven with a 14-7 triumph at the Gelligalad.
Both teams struggled with the wet and wild conditions, but a first half
touchdown from Adam Lewis and three penalties after the interval from Rhys
Truelove was enough to give last season’s runners up the win.
The Cockerels did come away with a losing bonus point thanks to a
converted Paul Songhurst try, but the result sees them slip to third in the
table.
One time leaders Rumney got their campaign back on track as they saw off
the challenge of Penallta to claim a 15-0 home triumph.
Rumney, who had lost their last two matches on the bounce heading into
the game, dealt with the tough conditions better and crossed twice through John
Leadbetter and Luke Bendon, while Danny Clarke slotted a penalty and a
conversion.
Ynysybwl moved into the top half of the table courtesy of a 19-15 win
over Glamorgan Wanderers at the Memorial Ground.
Classy centre Sean Ireland was the stand-out performer for Bwl as he
bagged a double for the visitors, while Sean Wigfall also went over. Nathan
Ellis added extras to two.
Elsewhere, Treorchy clinched only their third win of the campaign as
they stuttered to a 14-10 success over basement boys Bedlinog.
The Zebras needed a late penalty try to see off the hosts while
influential No. 8 Craig Everett also touched down.
Finally, in the day’s other fixture, Rhydyfelin edged past new boys
Nelson by the slenderest of margins 21-20.
