Beddau bailed out by Wells try at death

SWALEC Championship round-up

BEDDAU recovered from a 15-0 half-time deficit and scored a try in the final play of the game to snatch a dramatic 20-15 win against Newcastle Emlyn.

Tyler Wells was the hero with his try in injury time to give Beddau the perfect start to the year.

Kyle Scrivens, Simon Veall and Trevor James went over for tries as Newbridge held on for a tight 21-15 away win against

Bedlinog for just their fourth win of the season.

Skewen threw away at narrow half-time deficit as they lost 15-12 away at Glamorgan Wanderers.

Adam Rowlands scored the opening try before Jonathan Lewis replied. Alex Edwards put the hosts ahead before Mark Harvey scored the visitors’ second and Anthony Buselli converted for the interval lead. But Robert Dudley-Jones’ score midway through the second-half ensured the Wanderers kicked 2017 on the right note.

Narberth came out on top in a bruising encounter against Cardiff Met. Scrum-half Rhys Lane, Oliver Reyland and Jack Price scored the tries. Nick Gale and Jonathan Rogers scored two penalties each, as The Otters cruised to victory despite a late score from the Students.

Pontypool began 2017 from where they left off last year with a 34-13 triumph at home to Glynneath to maintain their perfect record of 15 wins from 15 games. A last-gasp penalty from

Tata Steel’s Jack O’Reilly snatched a losing bonuspoint from strugglers

Dunvant. Tata remain second in the Championship with the 30-21 win after tries from Andrew Spowart, David Griggs, Andrew Jenkins and Bleddyn Davies.

Dunvant momentarily led 13-12 after 30 minutes with Adam Williams Parry adding a converted try to his two early penalties and Aled Jones’s cheeky drop goal. But Tata did enough to ensure they got over the line to guarantee their place ahead of Narberth in the table.
