Bargoed scores again after good work by Matt Billett and when it was moved wide strong running wing Ashley Norton scored in the corner.

The Drovers bounced back with turnover ball again punishing Bargoed with ball Prop Jamie Hughes going over for a converted try.

The final score went to Llandovery when another attack broke down and centre Ryan Evans capitalised to score and take the final score to 62-22 to the visitors.

Bargoed will rue handling errors and missed tackles in a sub standard performance but should take confidence from the amount of territory and possession they had throughout the game.
