Llangwm Pembroke

IT ALL ended level at Pill Parks
after Pembroke took a 14 point lead only for Llangwm to battle back and show their improvement, scoring a late try to level matters.
In the second leg of the Palmer Cup, competed for annually between
these two sides, Pembroke came into the match with an advantage having won 48-10 earlier in the season. And it was the Scarlets who struck first as James Skeels and Billy Wood touched down in the first 40, with Phil Williams adding the extras to both. After the break, Llangwm used the Pill Parks slope to their advantage and pushed the Scarlets back before
stinging them with two tries, Carwyn Morgan touching down after a clever chip and Andrew Brock scoring a sensational solo try, who also happened to add the extras to both tries, giving his side a memorable draw, against a Pembroke side who would have fancied victory. Llangwm travel to Neyland whilst Pembroke travel to Milford Haven.
Quins fall off in second half
P.Dock Harlequins Aberaeron
5 21 THE SCORELINE doesn’t quite
reflect the battling performance from the homeside, as they match their Ceredigion rivals physically for much of the game, but began to
fall off late on as their fitness levels couldn’t quite compete. After a tight scoreless first half, the Quins try came from Paul Jonkers, as he made a typically strong run to crash over to the delight of his team mates and the watching crowd. However Aberaeron showed
typical Ceredigion guts, and replied with three tries. Gethin Hughes, Kieran Etheridge and Ollie Sawyer crossed the white wash for the visitors, as Sion Evans converted all three tries. The Quins sit in ninth place and host seventh placed St Clears this Saturday (Jan 31).
Kidwelly Whitland
27 19

cause an upset when they travelled to first placed Kidwelly, even after live wire flanker Jack Mason scored two brilliant tries for the Borderers. Kidwelly completed the
double
over Whitland, as the visitors got no reward for their part in an entertaining game. A quick tap and go late in the game, when a penalty kick would have
given them a losing bonus point, could prove to be costly towards the end of the season. It was Whitland who got off to the
brighter start, as hooker Mac Jones crashed over for a unconverted try, before Kidwelly replied with two tries from Richard Davies and Christian Gullen, with both being converted by Kidwelly fly half Steffan Marshall. Mason then grabbed his first
try, which was converted by Johnny Thomas, but again Kidwelly replied with a penalty from Marshall. At the
break, the score was 17-12 to the home side.

Carmarthen Athletic 19 Tenby United
17 CARMARTHEN Athletic stole
victory from the jaws of defeat against Tenby, as a last grasp try from winger Rob Thomas drew the scores level, before Sion Curran added the extras to give his side the victory. In a tight first half, it was the visitors who led 7-0 after winger Jordan Aspinall showed a clean pair of heels to touch down, with Jonathan Rodgers adding the extras. Tenby could have added extra points, but some poor decision making and bad luck saw the score board stay at 7 points.

an excellent try from full back Johnny Morgan, who finished off a typical Otters counterattack, and Griffiths was on hand to add the extras with his
trusty left boot, which meant Narberth went in to the break 10-5 to the good. The Merthyr coach must have said some keen words of encouragement during the break, as the home side came out and blitzed the Otters, using a dominant pack to provide a platform. Jeff Fry capitalised on a Narberth
mistake to touch down, with Stephen Lang adding the extras, before back rower Tom Daley added their third try. Merthyr managed to get their
