ONE ROUND-UP

NEWBRIDGE ran in five tries as they kicked off their league season with a 41-9 win at Dowlais in One East.

The Bridge feel as if they have a point to prove after being top of division one east by eight points in the 2019-20 season before their campaign was derailed by the coronavirus emergency.

And they had the bit between their teeth from the word go, with Stuart Vokes, Robbie Torley, Jake Duffy, Jimmy Gahan and Gavin McDonald all crossing for touchdowns.

Torley also scored a penalty and converted one of the tries, along with Sam Watkins.

In One West Central, Bridgend Athletic comfortably beat Kenfig Kill 20-7.

Ieuan Evans scored their only try, with Robin Davies kicking 13 points.

All Kenfig Hill could muster was a try from Chris Stenner.

Meanwhile, in division One East Central, Barry ran out 29-22 winners over Ynysybwl in an enthralling encounter.

Einan Scott’s brace of tries, along with a second-half touchdown from Dave Provis, was enough to get Barry over the line.

The try of the game came when Ethan Dicks turned over the ball in Ynysybwl’s 22 before the ball was spun wide for Scott to run in unopposed from 55 metres.

In One North a last-gasp Gethin Andrews penalty gave Caernarfon a well-deserved 18-15 victory at arch-rivals Llangefni.

Greg Horsman and Andrew McMinnie were Llangefni’s try scorers, one of which was converted by Gethin Andrews, who also landed a penalty.

Two Guto Pierce penalties, an Iwan Evans try and a pushover try by Caernarfon No. 8 Sean Owen secured the win.

There was plenty of passion on show at Main Field as Llangennech earned the South West Wales bragging rights with a comfortable 26-6 win over Llanelli Wanderers in One West.

There were four tries scored by Tom Neale (2), Jordan Saunders and Callum Jenkins, with the last try coming in the corner following a scrum.

Three of the tries were converted by Osian Evans.
