Bargoed continued their drive to the Swalec Championship title running in ten tries at Tata Steel who joined in the try-fest scoring four of their own in the 22-68 match on April 4.
With second placed Swansea also winning, the margin remains fourteen points and the Whites have four games left to play and Bargoed five, so the Blues have no thoughts of celebrating yet.
The Blues opened the scoring with ten minutes on the clock, prop Kieron Brown and flanker Adam Coupe combined, before outside have Neil Burnett drew the defence and put scrum half James Pizey over. Burnett converted.
Burnett scored the second and converted it five minutes later after some great approach work by centre Darren Humphries, lock Darren Lynch and prop Rhys Morgan.
However, Tata hit back against the run of play with a Steve Lewis interception and sprint. The outside half converted his own try to make it 7-14 after 18 minutes.
James Pizey was in the action again moments later feeding Lewis Protheroe who came off his wing on the burst to register the third try, again converted by Burnett
The bonus point try came on 27 minutes when Darren Humphries spotted wing Lee Pearson in space and the speedster dazzled three defenders on his way to the line. Burnett made it 7-28 with his fourth conversion.
Pearson doubled his tally just after the half hour with full back Jordan Purcell putting him away. Burnett missed his only kick of the match with the pulled conversion.
The only negative point of a blistering first-half came following a brilliant solo effort by prop Kieron Brown. Cutting in from the wing and rounding two defenders the mobile loose-head sidestepped under the posts only to be clattered late by a Tata forward.
Having scored the try he threw the ball at his assailant and got a yellow card to go with his try. Burnett converted to make it 7-40 on the stroke of half-time.
The referee awarded a penalty to Tata from the restart and sniffing an opportunity they tapped and went, spread the ball wide and Mark Harvey went over in the corner to make it 12-40 at the break.
Bargoed weren’t phased by being a man down and Jordan Purcell got the scoreboard ticking over after just four minutes of the second-half with Burnett converting.
Harvey got his second and Tata’s third on 52 minutes to make it 17-47 before Bargoed’s Darren Lynch got the Blues’ second yellow card of the afternoon.
Tata took advantage and claimed a deserved bonus point for their fourth try from full-back Rory Morgan.
That was as good as it got though for Tata as Bargoed picked up the pace and ran in two more tries from flanker Adam Coupe, converted by Burnett, and Josh Prosser to take the score to 22-61
Finally and fittingly, outside half Neil Burnett, who had had an outstanding game with both kicking and distribution, went the length of the field to score his second try and put over his eighth conversion to end the game with a personal tally of 26 points as Bargoed ran out victors.
