At the end of what has been an up and down season, Llantwit Fardre saved their best for last to secure Worthington’s Mid District Division Two Cup glory.

A first half five-try blitz set Fardre up for a 47-27 victory over their Two East Central counterparts Cilfynydd at Sardis Road.

The two sides had both recorded a 16-8 victory over the other in their respective home fixture in the league, but on this occasion Fardre were all but out of sight by half time, leading 35-6.

Captain Joe Popple, blindside flanker Liam Malkin, wing Will Huggins, twice, and inside centre Kyan Lewis all dotted down.
