Llangennech moved to within one point of winning the Admiral Division 1 West title thanks to two tries from Joseph Hutchings in their 27-12 home win over title rivals Crymych. 

Beaten 37-14 at home by second placed Newcastle Emlyn four days earlier, the only consolation for the visitors is they can’t drop any further than third. Llangennech host Gorseinon on Wednesday night, when they ncan clinch the title.

Penallta gave Senghenydd six of the best on their way to a 36-7 away win in Division 1 East to put them within three points of gaining promotion.

Centre Will Keep led the way with two of the half-dozen tries with lock Ieuan Sims, full back Ben Haris, hooker Harry Lewis and Youth team flanker Reuben Price grabbing the others. Josh Ponchaud added three conversions.

Both league leaders Newbridge and fourth placed Brecon were awarded walk-overs by Monmouth and Dowlais respectively, picking up five more points in their pursuit of promotion and the title.

It was the fourth time this season that Brecon had been handed victory without playing, while Newbridge have had two walk-overs. With two games to play, Newbridge need only one point to guarantee taking the title, while Brecon have three to go and are already guaranteed a top three finish.

Penallta meet Bedlinog and Newbridge to complete their season and need three points to overtake Brynmawr in third.

A hat-trick of tries from Scott Pritchard helped Rhydyfellin to remain in the mix for promotion from Division 1 East Central as they beat Barry in a 12 try, 74 point thriller. The Village came out on top 41-33 in the end and are now seven points behind third placed Treorchy, who drew 12-12 at Cambrian Welfare, with two games in hand.

Kevin Briggs scored two tries, as well as kicking six points, while Ross Lucas and Jack Healy got the other tries. With league leaders Rumney not playing, St Peter’s moved to within six points of them thanks to their 31-27 triumph over Mountain Ash, and now host them on Saturday in a season defining fixture.

Nant Conwy went to COBRA and extended their unbeaten record in Division 1 North to 16 games as they moved to within one point of winning the title with a 54-12 triumph after second placed Pwllheli went down 19-15 at Ruthin.

Bonymaen clinched the Division 1 West Central title in midweek with their 42-17 win at Nantyffyllon, but were on the wrong end of a 19-14 defeat at Dunvant.
