Round Up: SWALEC League East Divisions

Llantwit Fardre return to the top of SWALEC Division Two East after a 23-3 win at Newport Saracens.

Scrumhalf Luke Evans and wing Dean Thomas crossed for the visitors while they were also awarded a penalty try. For the sixth week in a row Llantwit Fardre failed to secure the ever elusive bonus point but a win was enough to see them overtake Treorchy who went down 27-16 at Gilfach Goch.

Fly half Gareth Walters and centre Adam Rees both grabbed tries for Gilfach Goch, who also leapfrog Treorchy into second place.

Ynysybwl battled to a 28-22 win at Abercynon securing the bonus point in the process. Gareth King, Lee Cummings, James Reed and Lewis Ryan all scored for Ynysybwl while Shaun Ireland kicked eight points.
