Neyland 59
Swansea Uplands 0

Try hat-tricks from skipper Mathew Williams and block-busting centre Adam Collins helped Neyland to a clear-cut victory over beleaguered Swansea Uplands that keeps them well clear at the head of the section table.

But the All Blacks’ ring-rustiness showed a little because they were unable to match the points century they scored at Fairwood Common earlier in the campaign, managing just three tries in the first half and allowing themselves to be involved in a dog-fight where the Uplands had their share of possession and forced Neyland on the back foot.

Skipper Williams opened the home side’s account early on with a try from a good driving maul which Mark Riley converted – and Williams added his second, this time unconverted, as his side spread play first right and then left to expose a gap. Collins added the third at the posts for his 21st try of the season, powering over at the posts for Riley to add the extras.

With John Tennick, Chris Busby, Matthew Doncaster and the front row of Ben Lloyd, Robert Codd and Mark Smith all providing good ball, the All Blacks added 40 points in the second half, with Williams adding his third score and creating a deserved try for Tennick as reward for his support play.

Delme Bateman sped through for a try converted by Riley, who also claimed a try in between two more for Collins. Riley finished with six conversions before Williams notched the final two-pointer to round off another high-scoring performance by the Pembrokeshire All Blacks.
