Andrews casts his spell as Wizards stay top
Premiership Cup
Swansea………. 20
Aberavon………. 30
ABERAVON cemented their place at the top of the Premiership Cup west conference with a hard-fought bonus-point win over Swansea.
The visitors took an early lead from an attacking scrum when Rhodri Coles got quick ball out for Stef Andrews to score.
It was an ill-disciplined opening period by the home side who gave away eight penalties in a row.
The Wizards took advantage by finding touch on the 22 and their pack drove upfield for Lloyd Evans to crash over for a try.
A third Wizards touchdown followed soon after when Matthew Jenkins burst out of a tackle and was held up on the line.
Coles recycled the ball out wide for Andrews to squeeze over.
In the closing moments of the half, Kian Abraham found Ben Ley with an inside pass for a Swansea try.
Hanno Dirksen made a break through the middle as the home side looked to attack after half-time. Charlie Davies took the lineout and his pack kept their cool to drive him over in a corner.
Aberavon retook the lead through an Aled Thomas penalty.
Chay Smith was yellow carded for a late tackle on Kian Abraham, who chipped through into space.
But the Wizards hit back when a powerful drive by the pack saw Coles get the ball out wide for Jenkins to score.
In the dying seconds Leon McNally was shown a second yellow card with the visitors sealing victory through a Jenkins try.
