NEYLAND proved too strong


for Pembroke Dock Quins on Saturday (Jan 14), as they won 68-7 to record back to back victories. The Quins were only able to


field 14 players and that showed, as Neyland did well to exploit the gaps left by the extra man. Luke Dawes got the home side


going with a try but the conversion attempt was missed. Ben Goodridge then went over


twice, as did teammate Patrick Bellerby, to increase the home side’s advantage and Toby Hayman added the extra two points on all four occasions. The Quins never gave up and they


managed a try from Jordan Asparassa, which was then converted by Ben Hathaway.


over Llangwm on Saturday (Jan 14) as they ran in four tries in a 27-0 victory. The home side won the reverse


That meant the All Blacks held


a 33-7 lead at half time and they continued to pile the pressure on in the second half. Goodridge then completed his


hat trick in the second half and the conversion from Hayman was successful. Powerful forward Sam Katakai


also went over twice and Hayman added the extra two points on both occasions. Craig Power and Adam Cawley


also went over for the All Blacks and Hayman made it five out five in the second half with two more conversions. The win means Neyland stay fifth


in the table and in touch with the teams in the top four, while the Quins remain third from bottom in the table. On Saturday (Jan 21), Pembroke


Dock Quins will be hoping to have a full complement of players as they welcome Laugharne.

fixture 30-14 earlier in the season and it looked like a similar result would be on the cards. Dorian Pugh scored a good try for Tregaron, as did Nathan Lloyd, as the


home side played well throughout the game. Wyn Phillips and Jordan Thomas


also got their names on the scoresheet and Gwion Phillips added the extra two points twice from four attempts. Phillips also added a penalty to


complete a resounding victory for the home side against a Llangwm side that battled hard but were unable to cope with the strength of their opponents. On Saturday (Jan 21), Tregaron


are away to league leaders St Clears, while Llangwm are at home to Milford Haven.


Saints go clear at the top

League 3 West A ST CLEARS moved clear at


the top of the table after beating bottom of the table St Davids 72-5 on Saturday (Jan 14). A bright but very windy venue for


this Division 3 West A game, with St Davids opening proceedings into the teeth of the gale, in a fixture which has proved something of a problem for the visitors in the last two seasons with the home side winning on both occasions. A good start was needed to avoid


any repetition and full back Will Davies provided the best possible after four minutes, with a try in the corner finishing off an excellent individual break from half way. Five minutes later, a repeat


performance with another touchdown for Will - this time under the posts - plus the extras from James Davies, was capped off by another, 10 minutes later, for his third and a comfortable 17 point cushion. A number of further chances for


the visitors went begging and the home side were able to take advantage, coping with the blustery conditions better, gaining confidence from set piece advantage both in scrums and line outs, establishing both territory and possession for the rest of the half but without really looking like scoring against a solid St Clears defence. On the stroke of half time,


however, in what proved to be a killer blow after all the good work from the home side, number eight Tom Rees touched down for the bonus point score for the visitors and a half time score of 22 points without reply.


AFTER hosting big Welsh


championships and SIAB International Cross Country events over the past three years, the grounds of Parc Dinefwr will be the venue for the 2017 Dyfed Secondary Schools Cross Country championships. This year’s event will be held


at the magnificent Parc Dinefwr in Llandeilo on Tuesday, February 7. Each district, weather permitting,


is due to hold their area events over the next fortnight, and the first 10 in each race will go forward to represent their area on February 7. Many of the best cross country athletes in the district are expected to feature.


There will be eight races on the


programme with the age groups being: Year Seven, Year Eight/Nine, Year 10/11, and Year 12/13 (both boys and girls). The timetable for the day begins at 11am with the Year Seven Girls. Medals will be awarded to the


first three in each of the eight races. There will be first aid available, as well as refreshments on sale, along with other facilities and plenty of excellent spectating views. After the championships, 12 in


each age group will be selected that day to compete for Dyfed schools in the Welsh Schools Cross Country Championships in Brecon on


That momentum continued into


the second half and the home side never really had a look in after that with regular scores from scrum half Llyr Ebsworth (three), the first within one minute of the restart his first for the club, fly half Shane Morgan, another for Will Davies (his fourth) to bring up the half century and, after a brief respite, further scores from flanker Dewi Davies, second row Carwyn Davies and a second for Tom Rees. The scoreboard was a bit of an


injustice to the home side, who never gave up, and they were rewarded finally for their efforts with a consolation try from Jerome Conlon in the last action of the game to produce the final score of 72 points to 5. On Saturday (Jan 21), St Clears are


at home to Tregaron while St Davids are away to Pembroke.


Dyfed Schools Cross Country Championships
