Divisions 2-4
Tredegar moved into second place of Division Two when they hammered Gwent rivals Rhymney by 32-11, scoring five tries and jumping over UWIC, whose match at Llantrisant was called off.
Brynmawr came off the bottom of the table with a surprise win over Seven Sisters by 25-10 that included drop goals by Phil Withers and Steve Jones and Maesteg rose two places to fourth after a 26-19 win at Pencoed as Matthew Pearce contributed 11 points.
The big match in Three West was at Cwmavon, where they played a 29-29 draw with British Steel. Both sides scored four tries with Anthony Gardner’s interception score looking like winning it for the home team, until Steel fly half Gareth Lewis kicked an equalising penalty.
In Three East, Builth Wells became the second club to score a century of points over Garndiffaith, yet despite losing 140-7 and conceding 22 tries – five each to brothers George and Edward Jenkins – the losers try by lock David Nash, helps keep them above Penygraig in the basement.
