ABERAVON took the early season bragging rights over local rivals Swansea with a thrilling triumph at St. Helens.
The hosts got off to a positive start thanks to a pair of penalties from Owen Howe, before Jon Phillips kicked off the try-fest for the Wizards.
Once they got going they could not stop and they were soon two scores ahead thanks to James Garland. Hooker Luke Davies crashed over too but Howe landed a third penalty to cut the gap to ten points at half-time.
Shaun Pearce wrapped up the bonus point after the break to put Aberavon on easy street at 26-9, but the Wizards did not have it...
