Bedwas breeze past the Bulls to end rotten run

- By JON DALY

BEDWAS climbed out of the automatic relegation places as they plundered a magnificen­t seven tries in their basement battle with Bargoed.

In charge from the moment left wing Adam Williams crossed for the first try five minutes into the game, their victory ended a run of seven games without success and was their first league victory since 23 November.

The bonus-point enabled them to leap-frog over Llanelli and Bridgend, although the latter have two games in hand. Joe Scrivens chipped in with 13 points as he landed all six kicks on a wet and blustery night. It was a great break by outside half Jacob Chilcott that paved the way for Williams to settle the home nerves with the opening score. Brynley Toms crashed over for a second and the power of the Bedwas scrum earned them the first of two penalty tries before the break.

Bargoed full back Julian Mogg grabbed a charge down try in the first half, but that was as good as it got for the visitors.

Home skipper Alun Rees secured the bonus-point with his try early in the second half and from there on in the scoreboard merely mounted. Jonathan Davies added a fifth try, then came the second penalty try before Connor Edwards completed the scoring with the seventh. Not even the sin-binning of Ryan Davies 10 minutes from time for illegally halting a Bargoed attack could dent the home momentum. Star man Alun Rees - Bedwas
