Division Two West: Milford Haven 13-6 Tenby United
A second half try from Sam Dolling proved decisive as Milford returned to winning ways in what proved a physical Pembrokeshire derby with Tenby United.
The Seasiders had the wind in the first half and scrum half Ben Pugh was a threat around the fringes while prop Rob Luly carried well up front – but they only had a single Harry Rossiter penalty to show for playing with the elements as they led 3-0.
And then in the second half it was No 10 James Trueman who was pivotal for The Mariners as he constantly used the wind to pin Tenby back – and the home side went ahead when the outstanding Dolling powered through three tacklers to score.
Trueman converted and then added two further penalties to eventually edge the man of the match award, while second row Zac Davies also stood out for Nathan Williams’ team.
From the final play however, The Seasiders did secure a losing bonus point when they fashioned a penalty chance and the nerveless Rossiter landed three points.
