EBBW Vale will hope the next time they go on their travels will be the Super Rygbi Cymru final on neutral territory after they suffered a second away defeat on the spin. The Steelmen were edged out 19-14 by Aberavon on Wednesday night, that after a 40-14 defeat at Newport on Sunday. Ebbw had been hoping to secure at least runners-up spot and to give themselves hope of finishing first.
