On the last weekend before Christmas, rugby clubs from across Caerphilly County Borough were looking for some early festive cheer as teams battled it out on a cold, windy afternoon.

In the WRU Premiership, Cross Keys moved up to fourth with a 32-19 win away to Cardiff Met, while Bargoed got the better of Newbridge in all-Caerphilly affair, winning 26-14 at Bargoed Park.
