Saturday, August 15th, 2009.
A black day all round for the Cim with 1sts, 2nd and 3rds all washed out. Bronwydd not only played but crushed Llandarcy to take a 23-point lead at the top of the table and Baglan, victors over Felinfoel, are also in the mix. The 2nds still lead the table by 9 points owing to Pwll's also being rained off and the 3rds lost a little ground with rival sides playing.
