Vale rugby teams set out on cup trail

There were mixed fortunes for Vale teams in the opening rounds of the WRU's league cup competitions.

Penarth went out of the Division One Cup after a 17-7 defeat at home to Llanharan, while their near neighbours Barry withdrew from their match against Abergavenny - with as many as ten players absent due to illness and injury.

Cowbridge booked their place in round two of the Division Two Cup following a 35-31 victory at Blaina, while Llantwit Major beat Treharris 45-5 to progress in the Division Three Cup.

Old Penarthians were knocked out of the Division Five Cup despite holding Cefn Coed to a 24-24 draw - their hosts were awarded victory on the try count. Elsewhere, Sully Sports began their cup campaign with a 21-18 win at Girling.
