Apr 2 2007 Alan Keyte, Western Mail

TWO tries by Rumney flanker Matthew Way make sure the champagne was kept on ice at Llantrisant in Division Two.

Way crossed twice and Danny Clarke added a third as second-placed Rumney won 24-10 at Tredegar to cling on to the coat-tails of run-away leaders Llantrisant.

They remain 12 points clear following their 42-5 hammering of Pill Harriers, though have yet to wrap up the title and have two games less to play.

Meanwhile, Croesyceiliog threw the relegation scrap wide open with a surprise win over Treherbert that saw them leap off the foot of the table and out of the relegation zone.

Gavin Howells scored twice as Croesyceiliog won 41-32 and leap-frogged both Pill Harriers and Abergavenny.

Penalllta dashed Pontypool United's slim promotion hopes from Division Two with a 21-3 victory following tries from Lee Thomas, Sean Powell and Rhys Cleverly.

Newport HSOB maintained their bid with a 35--15 win at New Tredegar.

Pencoed remain top of Division Three South East following their 19-10 success at Hirwaun, but their six-point lead is under threat from Llanishen, who have three games in hand.

Pentyrch claimed the vital points at Fairwater, 13-13, that has saved them from the drop.

Old Illtydians drew level at the top of Division Four with Garndiffaith after Cai Lewis set them on their way to a 33-21 win over Llandaff North.
