Six of the best for Rhiwbina

-

RHIWBINA made it six wins out of seven in One East Central with a 13-10 success at Dinas Powys.

After two penalties from Lewis Pearce, Loren Quick then produced what proved to be the decisive moment in the match as he intercepte­d and dashed fully 50 yards to the line to touch down. Pearce added the extras.

Corey Imperato got the try for Dinas, which was converted by Sam Middlemiss who also kicked a penalty as they bagged a losing bonus point.

The win for the Squirrels also saw them extend their lead at the top after Mountain Ash and Porth Harlequins both lost.

Mountain Ash, who began the weekend just a point behind Rhiwbina, were narrowly beaten 16-15 at Rumney – who jump from fourth to second. Lewis Mills and Harry Jarret scored Rumney’s two unconverte­d tries while Regan Mahoney kicked two penalties.

Porth Harlequins, meanwhile were defeated 36-17 at Glamorgan Wanderers.

In One East, leaders Brynmawr’s 100 per cent winning record is over after they went down to a 32-14 home defeat against Brecon – in a match switched to Nantyglo.

Eifion Jones was the star of the show for Brecon with a hat-trick with Ewan Williams also going over. Dean Gunter added three conversion­s and two penalties.

It ended Brynmawr’s bid for an eighth league win on the bounce and also took Brecon up into second above Penallta, who were not in action after their scheduled opponents Hartridge were unable to raise a side.
