Oliver’s army on march for resurgent Skewem

SKEWEN pulled off a dramatic comeback to beat

Bedlinog in a 25-21 thriller to leapfrog the Foxes into fifth in the table.

The hosts had trailed 21-3 at half-time after captain Nathan Huish scored twice and Sam Farrer crossed. But giant lock Oliver Thompson instigated the comeback with an early second-half try from a driving maul before Jordan Adderley went over minutes later.

Anthony Buselli booted a penalty and Richard Davies bagged a try 15 minutes from the end to seal the unlikely win.

Narberth cruised to a simple 40-3 victory away at

Glynneath to move into second ahead of Tata Steel who lost 17-16 against

Cardiff Met. Tata had led 16-10 with five minutes to go, but Tom Benjamin’s try and Tyler Williams’ touchline conversion gave the students victory.

Newbridge pulled off the shock of the week with a 2824 triumph at home to

Beddau. The hosts had led 28-10 after Scott Williams, Stuart Vokes, Luke Morgan and Rory Budenna crossed, and they did enough to hold on for the win despite Beddau taking a losing bonus-point through Adam Ashford. Glamorgan Wanderers edged out basement boys

Dunvant, 26-19 in a tight battle at Broadacre. Dunvant threatened a late charge but the Wanderers did enough to hold on.

Mark Robbins put the hosts ahead before Darren Ryan replied. Gareth Davies put Dunvant back into the lead, but James Davies’ conversion struck the posts. Glamorgan capitalised to lead at the break through Dan Aspee’s score and Luke Fish’s extras.

The stand-off crossed and converted try No.3 before Peter Lloyd snatched a lineout to crash over for the bonus-point before Sam Crowley kept the visitors sweating with a try.

Pontypool’s unbeaten Championship run continued with a routine 53-5 win over Newcastle Emlyn.
