Pontypridd scored tries through Lawrence Price and Dafydd Lockyer with Dai Flanagan adding a conversion and two penalties.

Newport kept up the pressure on Neath with a 21-28 win over Aberavon but the Black and Ambers will need to score 15 tries at home to Pontypridd on Saturday if they are to prevent Neath taking the crown.

Flanker Darryl Thomas, centre Darren Ryan and Anthony Edwards scored tries in reply for Aberavon all converted by Jamie Davies.

David James grabbed a brace of tries in the win with Brendan Fisher and David Price also crossing for scores. Outside-half Luke Richards scored 15 of Maesteg’s points with a try, two conversions and two penalties. Gareth Thomas and Karl Hocking each scored tries for Maesteg in the defeat.
