Caerleon Sports Roundup - 21st August


MBA1
RTB are still top despite losing 12-2 at Bedwas who can take over at the top if they win their game in hand at Chepstow this afteoon. Chepstow are looking for points too after moving out of the relegation places with an 11-3 win over Crosskeys, they are replaced in the bottom two by Rhymney Gwent who lost 12-2 to Pontymister Athletic. They meet again today at Pontymister in another big game for both clubs.
 
MBA2
Pontnewydd retu to the top after beating Beaufort 14-0 while Cwmbran lost 10-4 at Abergavenny, which keeps the avenue in touch at the bottom after a string of good results. Likewise for Brynmawr who had another win at Newbridge 10-4 and Abertillery who won 10-4 at Caldicot. With a few games left it could still be any three from seven to go down.
 
MBA3
Rhymney Royal continue to dominate the table with another good win at ST. Julians 12-2, Blaina continue to chase with a 10-4 win at Panteg House. New Tredegar are up to third after a 14-0 win in midweek over Panteg House and a 10-4 defeat at Six Bells yesterday. That win gives Six Bells a chance to avoid the drop and likewise for Llanhilleth who won 12-2 against Aberca.
 
MBA4
Ynysddu are the new leaders after winning 12-2 in midweek against Caerleon and another 12-2 yesterday against Whiteheads, Blaenavon remain favorites though after another 12-2 win over Firbank. Oakdale kept alive their chances of avoiding the drop with a 12-2 win over Caerleon and Pontymister Welfare won 10-4 against Panteg Park.
