The Pontypool fly half has been duelling with Ebbw Vale’s Evan Lloyd all season as the leading points scorer in the league but it’s Lloyd who is leading the way on 208 points however Jarvis is only two points from hitting 200 so he will be eyeing up Saturday’s game against RGC with some relish.
Llandovery’s Taylor Davies is having some season in the engine room. The dynamic hooker has jumped to the top of the pecking order in the try scoring charts, having crossed the white wash on 15 occasions this season for the Drovers.
Newport winger Lloyd Lewis didn’t have the happiest of evenings under the lights at Newport Stadium last Thursday with play not going his way as his grip on top of the try scoring list has loosened considerably in recent weeks after he has been in contention all season.
Elsewhere, Edd Howley continues to shine for Bridgend on the attacking front. He has made 17 line-breaks while beating a staggering 72 defenders to be some distance ahead of nearest challenger, Llandovery’s Aaron Warren with 51 beaten defenders.
