Table-toppers Bedwas romp past Ebbw to show class

BEDWAS remain at the top of the Premiership East after an eight-try hammering of Ebbw Vale at the Bridgefield.

The table-toppers recorded an impressive four straight wins at the beginning of the season, with a loss in gameweek five against Cross Keys spoiling their run.

But they have bounced back well since that defeat with an 18-8 win against Cardiff last weekend.

And they made the dream start against the Steelmen with two tries inside the opening fifteen minutes – back-row Morgan Allen scored the first with full-back Lewis Evans slotting the twopoints. Matthew John made it two soon after as Evans remained perfect with the boot.

Ebbw – the 2015/16 Premiership champions – were clearly on the backfoot as the hosts sensed further opportunities to add more pain, with centre Mike Callow darting over for the third with the bonus-point try sealed on the 30-minute mark courtesy of wing John.

The fifth was added before half-time from Tom Rowlands with Evans five from five from the tee, but Cameron Regan stopped the rot for Ebbw, who were desperate for half time.

Ebbw remained firm after the interval to steady the Bedwas charge, forcing them to wait 30 minutes for their next score – which came from Nicky Griffiths. And Alun Rees fired a quickfire double in the final ten minutes. Star man Matthew John - Bedwas
