Sharp shooters jostling for top position

Ebbw Vale’s Evan Lloyd shares top spot with Pontypool’s Matthew Jarvis with 34 points apiece, just one point ahead of third placed Luke Price from Bridgend. Carmarthen Quins’ Jac Price is in fourth position with 31 points, just one ahead of Cardiff RFC’s  fly half Harrison James.

Wilson and Jarvis are both proving deadly from the tee when it comes to conversions. From 11 attempts, Wilson is yet to miss the target while Jarvis has sent five conversions through the uprights from five attempts. Llandovery’s Jack Maynard is the only sharp shooter with a 100% record in the penalty stakes, having succeeded with all four attempts at the sticks so far.

Llandovery’s bright start to the campaign has seen them unbeaten after three games but that is no surprise when three of their players have hit more rucks than any other player. Osian Davies (70), Joseff Powell (61) and Jordan Evans (58) have made their presence felt to put the Drovers on the front foot. Pontypool’s Callum Davies and Neath’s Jacob Blackmore are also over the half century mark with 57 and 53 rucks hit respectively.

Aberavon’s Frankie Jones now has company at the top of the tree for defenders beaten. Bridgend’s Edd Howley, who has looked dangerous this season, has beaten 14 defenders, to join Jones at the top of the category.
