Trebanos engulfed by the perfect champs

- ■ By CARL FIELD

IT was a perfect 10 for champions Pontypool who inflicted a crushing 60-10 defeat on Trebanos to also make it five bonus-point victories out of five .

Leighton Jones’ men once again had it the bag by the break thanks to first half tries from Lewis Ball, Pat Lewis, Marcus Jones, Martin Luckwell and Brendan Lampitt.

Matthew Lewis kicked two conversion­s for a 29-10 lead with Josh Ferriman going over for Trebanos. Richard Brunton booted their other points.

Five more tries followed for Pooler after the re-start; Rhys Clarke, Adam Stratton (2), Luckwell again and Kieran Meek dotting down.

Pooler are two points clear of Bedwas, who maintained their own 100 per cent winning start by seeing off Narberth 38-13 at the Bridge Field.

First-half tries from James Hallett and Mike Dacey helped the Wass into a 13-8 lead at the turnaround. Jordan Rees, Bryn Toms, Craig Hudd and Owain Keane crashed over in the second half..

Yannic Parker scored twice in reply.

Also unbeaten, Bargoed made it four wins from five and are three points back in third as they convincing­ly beat Cross Keys 46-7.

The only other unbeaten side, Cardiff Met, enjoyed a 20-16 win over Neath.

Jack Silvestre and Morgan Nelson were the students’ try scorers with the other points from the boot of James Mattin.

Luke Griffiths scored all of Neath’s points, converting his own try and adding three penalties.

Ystalyfera, like Cross Keys, have lost all five of their opening matches but did at least earn a losing bonus point as they lost 16-12 at Maesteg Quins.

Two tries from skipper Aaron Fowler inspired Glamorgan Wanderers’

23-3 home win over Beddau.

Paul Short booted the rest, with Hywel Chatham’s penalty scant consolatio­n for the visitors. Tata Steel were 26-17 home victors over Ystrad Rhondda.
