The former Pontypridd and Wales Sevens centre came on with his side already leading 37-0 after a dominant first-half display in Pembrokeshire in which it only took them 32 minutes to bag a try bonus-point.
Dacey went on to help his new side complete a seven try, 51-0 rout that maintained their seven point lead over Swansea at the top of the table. Full back Matthew Jarvis took his points tally for the season through the 300 barrier as he chipped in with five conversions and two penalties for a match tally of 16 points.
No 8 Phil Rees scored two tries and acting skipper Craig Locke, scrum half Rhys Downes, wings Alex Howman and Dan Parry and replacement hook Gary Way got the others. This win followed a SSE SWALEC Cup success at the same venue a few weeks earlier
The Ironmen visit Parc y Scarlets to face Premiership side Llanelli in the SSE SWALEC Cup this weekend and could have former Cardiff Blues lock Mile Normandale in their pack after he transfered to them last weekend.
Second-placed Swansea had to battle long and hard before finally overpowering reigning champions Bargoed 30-24 at St Helen’s. Jac Wilson ran the show for the home side, claiming 20 of Swansea’s 30 points, with the other points coming from a penalty try and a Sam Kiley touchdown.
The bonus point meant the All Whites didn’t lose any ground on table-topping Merthyr, while Bargoed’s losing bonus point kept them with 14 points of four placed RGC1404 with two games in hand. Four teams are due to be promoted at the end of the season and top five clubs all have the necessary WRU ‘A’ Licence.
RGC 1404 ran in five tries in a 39=17 home win over Beddau with James Lang kicking 10 points.There were five tries in all for the north Walians from Tiaan Loots, Danny Cross, Carwyn ap Myrddin, Tom Hughes and fit-again scrum half Alex Schwartz.
Third-placed Pontypool also kept tabs on the teams above them with a convincing 27-13 win over Newcastle Emlyn. There were four tries for the home side with Ben Parry, Aaron Quick and Rob Nash cashing over to add to a penalty try.
Tata Steel dominate bottom-placed Llanharan 67-8. There were hat-tricks from back-row paring Owen Thomas and David Greggs for the home side. Christian Thomas, Greg Thomas and Steve Bevan also got on the score sheet for The Saints and there was a notable performance from fly-half Rory Morgan-Williams, with an impeccable showing with the boot throughout.
Cardiff Met beat lowly-placed Bridgend Athletic 39-20 in a high scoring game at Cyncoed Campus. The students move above Narberth in the league as they look to improve their mid-table position this term.
Newbridge against Glynneath was postponed due to the pitch conditions and Tata Steel’s win means Newbridge move down a place into 11th.
