Glamorgan Wanderers’ mini-revival in the Admiral Championship after they were beaten 108-12 at Pontypool Park earlier in the month continued as they beat Tata Steel 42-7 to make it back-to-back wins.
Neath took full advantage of unbeaten Pontypool’s cup final commitments by joining them on 89 points with a 70-0 midweek win over Maesteg Quins than contained 10 tries, two of them from fireman flanker Fergus Kneath to keep the Welsh All Blacks well on the road to promotion.
Undaunted by their heavy defeat on the road, the Quins got back on the horse at home four days later to record an impressive 40-26 win over Cardiff Met. It included a spectacular second half performance with 29 unanswered points with Morgan Roach taking a starring role.
Third placed Bargoed mixed and matched their team for the trip to Trebanos after just coming up short against Pontypool at home the previous weekend. They fell behind to a home try, but then responded with six of the best to head home with a bonus-point and a 38-5 victory.
Both wings, Adam Jones and Dai Evans scored and hooker Lewis Lippiett also converted a driving line-out, Centre Duane Dyer also got in on the act, as did Owen Cooper and replacement Tom Rice. Full back Josh Prosser added four conversions.
Beddau also came up with an away win as they polished off Ystalyfera 27-10. Ethan Coombes crossed twice and Tyer Wells also scored before a penalty try earned the bonus-point for the visitors.
