James Pizey, Gareth Darren, Simon Parry and Lewis Prothers grabbed the tries while Josh Prosser was deadly with the boot and added three conversions and two penalties.

Matthew Morgan collected a 10-point haul for Beddau and John Elley and Phil Diamond added further tries but it was not enough to secure any league points.

Llanharan captain Nathan Huish led by example at Glan yr Afon Park as the Dairymen claimed a 27-16 bonus-point victory over Blackwood.

The hooker darted over for a pair of tries and further touchdowns from Justin Benfield and Josh Austin wrapped up the bonus-point.

Matthew McGovern and player coach Jason Rodgers crossed the whitewash for the hosts but it was not enough.

Elsewhere Cardiff Met bounced back from their opening day defeat at Blackwood with a six-try victory over Bonymaen.
Jake Henry , Ollie Edwards, Tom Hall, Pierre Tucker and Nick Hodgson all got on the scoreboard, while Mark Cooke was deadly with the boot, adding 19-points.

At Eugene Cross Park last season’s Division One East champions Ebbw Vale cruised to a 45-16 victory over Narberth.
The Steelmen ran in six tries through Dan Haymond, who also added 13-points with the boot, Polo Uhi, Josh Lewis, Ashley Sweet, Cameron Regan and Jamie Jones.

Will Lewis and Wayne Williams crossed for the Otters but they were merely a consolation.

Newbridge continued their winning start with a 57-14 romp over Glamorgan Wanders at the Welfare Ground.

The Wanderers shipped 76-points to Ebbw Vale last week and they faired little better against Newbridge, who racked up eight tries.

Trevor James and Craig Hill both bagged doubles while Neil Bennett contributed an impressive 22-points.

TATA Steel got back to winning ways with an impressive 41-20 triumph over Pontypool at Groes Fields.

The Saints were made to work hard in the first-half but went on to score five tries thanks to Gbemi Fisher, Gareth John, Ben Davies and Richard Powell. Diggy Bird, who had turned out for Llanelli the previous night, played his part with 14-points from the tee.


Elsewhere a double from Michael Hathaway at Parc Llwyn Ty Gwyn helped Bridgend Athletic to a 23-16 triumph over Whitland.


Steve Lewis added a further 11-points for the visitors while Tommy Jones dotted down for Whitland’s sole try.
