Aberavon got back on track by defeating Llanharan 39-15 and Carmarthen Quins beat Bonymaen 28-22, despite being outscored 3-1 on tries. Fly half Giles Thomas kept up his remarkable 100 % goal kicking record this season. Thomas has now scored 32 times in a row. His 23 points on Saturday took his season total to 86.

Rumney join Treorchy at the bottom after losing a 21-20 lead at home to Newbridge and going down 32-21, while Cross Keys were good winners by 22-6 at Tondu.
Beddau made a fine effort before going down 34-20 at Whitland where Dan Griffiths scored 14 points for the Borderers and at Church Bank, the Llandovery Drovers were surprisingly edged out 29-28 by Glamorgan Wanderers.
