Premiership round up

The Premiership fixture programme was a pretty disjointed one over the weekend of 12^th March, due to the Six Nations internationals, but with many important ties being played.

On the Friday evening Pontypool battled to a 18pts to 16 home win in a typically tense Gwent derby against Cross Keys, thus putting a points cushion between themselves and the bottom of the table.

On the same night Llandovery also did their survival hopes a power of good by claiming a famous win away at Swansea, if only by the narrowest of margins – 18pts to 19.

The relegation struggle continued in focus on Saturday 12^th March as Carmarthen Quins played hosts to Glamorgan Wanderers. The Quins took the honours in emphatic fashion, notching up seven tries as they progressed to a 50pts to 25 win, consolidating eleventh position in the table with the Wanderers consigned to bottom place.

On Sunday Llanelli once again proved their calibre as potential title contenders, claiming a 33pts to 25 bonus point home win over Newport.
