Morris hat-trick lifts Steelmen

The Steelmen’s driving maul once again proved unstoppable as they powered to another six point triumph on the road.

Morris replaced skipper Joe Franchi just moments after the latter had scored Ebbw’s second try on 58 minutes. That came after they had awarded a penalty try after the restart. Evan Lloyd kicked three conversions and two penalties.

Quins left wing Louis Rees had scored the only try of a tight first half with the hosts leading 8-6 at the pause. Aled Thomas goaled a penalty either side of the break.

Ebbw remain two points back on leaders Cardiff – who also picked up maximum points as they saw off Bridgend Ravens 4714 at the Arms Park.

Wing Dewi Cross scored in each half with Elijah Evans, Alun Rees, captain Sean Moore, Jason Harries and Benji Williams also going over. Harri Wilde kicked six conversions.

Centres Ryan Wilkins and Mccauley Rowley replied for the Ravens, both converted by Callaghan Smith.

Meanwhile wing Lloyd Lewis was also on the treble trail as Newport took the frustration of back-toback defeats out on RGC with 10 tries to return to winning ways with a thumping 62-7 victory.
