Battling Skewen make it five wins from five

SKEWEN made it five wins from five in the Division One West Central league with a hard fought 24-17 win away to Tondu.

The away team got four tries on the board courtesy of John Adderley, Ellis Bennett, Lee Dunsford and Morgan Meachlem.

Tondu were resolute but Skewen had the better control throughout as they calmly navigated their way to victory at Pandy Park.

In the East, Dowlais recorded a slender 15-8 win away to Bedliniog. In what was a close encounter, tries by Luke Price and Ceri Morgan put them on top. Points from the boot of Nathan Pritchard then took the game away from a hardworking Bedliniog side. The game was a stop-start affair and Dowlais’ defence proved pivotal.

Penclawdd remain winless in the Western division as a strong Whitland side proved to be too much of a stern test for them. After a nearly equal first half Whitland made a couple of changes which changed the game. The cousin pairing of Gino and Nico Zitarro got two of Whitland’s four tries.

Mountain Ash made it six out of six in the East Central division with a commanding 24-0 win over

Rhiwbina. Two tries by David Richards and scores from Steven Brittain and Ewan Rees took the game away from the visitors. Two conversions were also dispatched by Will Holley. Mountain Ash were the more clinical and Rhiwbina could not find a way through the defence.
