The Goats are through to the North Wales Cup final on 11 May, where they will meet Nant Conwy. They have one final league game to play at Pwllheli on 27 April, but are currently 14 points clear of them having played one more game.
They are the first club other than Nant Conwy and Pwllheli to win the league title since Caernarfon last broke the mould in 2012. They have also done it in style losing only once to date and averaging more than 30 points per game.
Their success this season has been coming. They haven’t been out of the top five in the past four seasons, but until this campaign haven’t been able to challenge the dominance of Nant, Pwllheli and Bala.
When Caernarfon won the title seven years ago the Goats found themselves rock bottom and being relegated. They then had two seasons in the second division before returning to the top flight in 2014.
There were nine tries to savour for the Llandudno supporters, eight of which were converted. Arthur Lennon helped himself to 21 points with a try and eight conversions and Cameron Davies and Lloyd Evans both helped themselves to a brace of tries.
Felinfoel were also celebrating success after they were crowned champions in Division 1 West champions despite not taking to the field. Dunvant were the only team that could still catch them, but they were beaten 27-23 at Goreseinon to hand Felinfoel a second successive title.
Penallta missed the chance to move to the top in Division 1 East as they fell to a shock 33-31 defeat to relegation-threatened Hartridge. That gave unbeaten Brecon, who had their game with Cwmbran postponed, a huge boost.
Matthew Brewer did his best to keep the Pitmen’s title hopes alive two tries and three conversions. Penallta did pick up two bonus-points thanks to further tries from Ieuan Sims, Patrick Lewis and Jonny Wright, but they are now eight points behind Brecon having played one game more.
Ystalyfera moved one step closer to winning the Division 1 West Central title with a 19-6 win over Waunarlwydd. They are now on 74 points, eight clear of nearest challengers Bonymaen, who beat Maesteg Celtic 45-18.
They need just three points from their remaining two games, but could win the title if Bonymaen slip up against Maesteg Celtic on Saturday. The defeats for Waunarlwydd and Maesteg Celtic also condemned them to a bottom-three finish.
Canton’s end of season wobble may have given head coach Dai Manley a nervy end to the season, but they have still clinched the Division 3 East Central B crown.
Despite suffering back-to-back defeats to closest rivals St Alban’s and third-placed Treherbert, Canton picked up the point they needed to ensure they cannot now be caught in the title race. Their 13-12 defeat at Treherbert followed an 18-17 reverse in their previous game at St Alban’s.
The Buns just fell short in their pursuit of the title. Despite having a game in hand on the leaders, they can only pick up 15 points in their final three matches and can only now reach 78 points. They still have to rearrange their away game at Canton.
St Peter’s will look to end their title winning season on a high at home in their final fixture in Division 2 East Central this weekend when they host Cilfynydd. The Rocks have only lost twice at home this campaign and have already wrapped up the title.
