Ebbw Vale eventually overcame a sluggish start against a determined Quins outfit to run out winners with 6 points in the bag to keep up the pressure at the top of the table.
The visitors were much the better side in the first half and opened the scoring with an early penalty. Ebbw hit back with a classic catch'n'drive with Ieuan Morris going over, converted by Evan Lloyd. Quins pressure was telling though with a further penalty followed by a try from the visiting hooker Lewis Morgan, converted by Elis Price (as were the penalties)
Half time Ebbw 7 Quins 13.
Ebbw came out with a point to prove and, with the whole front row replaced, set up the rolling maul for Joe Franchi to crash over converted by Lloyd. Quins hit back from broken play with a converted try of their own to make it 14-20.
From then on, the Steelmen pack took over. Franchi added another 2 trademark tries, one of which was converted by Lloyd. More forward pressure saw Curtis Gregory power over, with Lloyd adding the extras. With the game opening up in the final phases, centre Cameron Davies used his pace to pierce the tiring, visitors' defence. Lloyd converted.
