Woodard has scored more Welsh League tries than any other player and his latest haul led the visitors to an exciting 45-29 victory. Pooler outside-half Sam Mills scored 20 points with the boot, pipping opposite number Nicky Thomas, who kicked 19 points.

Bridgend survived the sin-binning of their entire front-row in the second half to record a 31-10 win over Pontypridd at the Brewery Field.

Props Gareth Alexander and Tom Hearne and hooker Ieuan Dobbs all earned 10-minute spells in the bin, but late tries from Gareth Williams and Andrew Joy gave the Ravens a valuable win.

In the upset of the day, bottom-placed Llandovery recorded only their second win of the season – a 37-0 result at home to Ebbw Vale.

In re-scheduled Konica Minolta Cup matches, Premiership side Glamorgan Wanderers demolished Ystrad Rhondda 62-0, with Geoff Hobbs running in a hat-trick of tries, and Cross Keys pipped fellow Premiership club Bedwas 20-19. Bedwas scored in the last minute to make it a one-point ballgame, but the conversion attempt hit an upright and bounced out.
