NATIONAL LEAGUES ROUNDUP

-

CARDIFF Metropolit­an University secured their WRU National Championsh­ip status after picking up two points from a 26-26 draw at Bedlinog – while Skewen have now been relegated.

That result, coupled with Skewen’s inability to raise a side to fulfil their scheduled fixture at Narberth, means Met are now six points clear of them and therefore safe.

Met were in a strong position at half time at Bedlinog as they led 15-0 and seemingly on their way to an eighth victory of the season – but the hosts responded.

Bedlinog scored four second-half tries; Owain Rees was at the double with Aaron Harris and Tom Evans also dotted down to also earn them a bonus point with Liam Jones adding three conversion­s.

Jack Fielding scored twice for Met with Luke Northmore their other scorer while Harry Johnston booted 11 points.

Skewen go down along with Glynneath who had already been consigned to their fate.

Glynneath rounded off their campaign with a 24-12 home defeat by Trebanos – who have gone up to sec- ond as a result.

Rhys Morgan, Iwan Davies and Llyr Davies got the Trebanos tries, all of which were converted by Matthew Edwards who also kicked a penalty.

Josh Morris and Huw replied for the hosts.

In Division One, Maesteg Quins sealed the One West Central title in style with a 47-28 victory over Bridgend Athletic.

Aled Edwards, Keiron Watkins, Lewis Francis, Nathan Smith and Geraint Evans all went over for the Quins, who saw Owen Howe kick Wilkes four penalties and five conversion­s.

Athletic tried to spoil the party with tries from Ben Howe, Ben Cording, Aled Thomas and Luke Bevan, who also kicked four conversion­s.

Quins will now try to end the season with a perfect league record, having won all 19 games so far, to take momentum into the promotion play-off where they will face One West winners Felinfoel.

Tries from Elliot Davies, Jordan Dunne, Nick Morris, Joe Hutchings and Connor Ford gave Felinfoel a 34-17 win at Kidwelly, who saw Aled
