Squirrels edge to victory to stay at summit

Welsh Division One round-up

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

After two penalties from Lewis Pearce, Loren Quick produced the decisive moment as he intercepted and dashed fully 50 yards to the line to touch down.

Corey Imperato got Dinas’ try, while Sam Middlemiss’s kicking bagged a losing bonus point.

The result saw the Squirrels extend their lead at the top as 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 did kick two penalties. Porth Harlequins were defeated 36-17 at five-star 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. Eifion Jones was the star for Brecon with a hat-trick as Ewan Williams also went over.

It took Brecon up to second above Penallta who were not in action after their scheduled opponents – bottom club Hartridge – were unable to raise a side.

Brynmawr, on 34 points, are now just one ahead of Brecon.

In One West, Felinfoel march on after a 41-3 home victory over struggling

Tenby United. Aled Roberts, Elliot Dawe and Curtis Morris were all at the double for Felinfiel alongside a sole effort from James Woods.

Nearest challengers Gowerton were 23-10 home winners over Llanelli Wanderers. Ystalyfera are the new leaders of One West Central after edging Bonymaen 18-17. Jonathan Bayliss and Paul Davies got the tries. And One North leaders Llandudno squeezed past Bala 9-8 to make it seven wins from seven.
