Cummings stuns leaders

Jan 21 2008 by Our Correspondent, Western Mail

CHRIS CUMMINGS kicked Barry’s most important three points of the season as Division Four South East’s basement boys stunned leaders Llandaff North with a 3-0 triumph.

With only 10 minutes remaining, the centre kept his head to break the deadlock and hand his side a remarkable first league win of the season.

In Division Three South East, Tylorstown made the most of appalling conditions to record a creditable 24-12 bonus-point win at Brecon. No8 and captain Steve Hogan led the way with a try, while Mark Davies, Kieran Morris and Adam Thomas followed suit.

In Division Two East, Penallta’s Matthew Angel was his side’s saviour as his try won a gruelling contest against Rhydyfelin 5-0.

The prop forward crashed over in the mud shortly after half-time to decide a fierce contest in which a player from each side saw red.

Elsewhere, Mountain Ash and Ynysybwl each claimed a bonus-point win against Pill Harriers and Tredegar respectively.

Gwernyfed’s forwards laid the foundations for their 24-13 triumph at home to rock-bottom Talywain. Their four tries were all scored by the pack in a win that sees them surge eight points clear at the top of Division Four East.
