Looking for their second triumph of the campaign, Mold suffered 59-29 reverse at Bethesda.

But there was better fortune for Wrexham with a 38-21 win against Ruthin.

Jacob Hughes converted Jason Andrews’ score as the visitors enjoyed the ideal start, but two converted tries moved Ruthin in front. Tom Walker’s try was converted by Hughes as the teams reached half time level at 14-14.

A third converted score put Ruthin back in front early in the second half, but the remainder of the match belonged to Wrexham. Tries from Jack Harrison, Andrew Oakden and Jack Partington made sure of a bonus point, with Hughes kicking all his conversions and also adding a penalty.

Nant Conwy went top after thrashing Newtown 102-5, while Pwllheli won 34-12 at Bala and Llandudno were pipped 21-19 by Llangefni.
