Aberavon ran in nine tries whilst defeating Treorchy 65-7. Fly half Gareth Lewis, on loan from Corus, as cover for Jamie Davies who is suffering with a groin injury, scoring twenty points.
Llandovery scored an important win in a fourth versus fifth match when they held off Newbridge by 19-12. The only try came from Llandovery’s former Ystradgynlais scrum half Rob Walters, but full back Stuart Harries was sent off for a high tackle.
Blackwood had a good 27-20 win at Tondu aided by 17 points from Martin Jones. Bonymaen won 16-8 at Whitland when Andy Llewellyn drove over for the winning score and Llanharan had a good 27-16 victory at Bedwas, where wing Matthew Rowlands, on loan from Ebbw Vale, snapped up a hat-trick of tries.
Tredegar were just too strong for Rumney and the return of Stuart Jarman from Caerphilly saw him score twice in a 33-20 scoreline.
Narberth scored the first and last tries only to go down 14-10 at Cross Keys, while the Glamorgan Wanderers-Beddau match was called off on Friday evening.
