Division four west:
Pontarddulais pounce at Crickmarren

Pembroke 7
Pontarddulais 16

Pembroke went down to a disappointing defeat against Pontarddulais, with the Scarlets unable to find anything like their best form as Bont outside half Paul Rees contributed 11 points with his place kicking.

Rees opened the scoring with a penalty but the Scarlets took the lead when Mark Williams powered through for a typical try, which fly half Phil Williams converted.

Pontarddulais took a 10-7 lead into half time as No 8 Aled Thomas scored a try which Rees goaled.

The second half failed to produce any further tries as both teams made errors when well placed – and two penalties from Rees earned the Bont a victory whilst the Scarlets were left to reflect on might have been.

Pembroke: Ryan Hayward; Joe Jackson; Mark Williams; Nicky James; Matthew Lewis; Phil Williams; Adrian Heath; James Walters; Tom Jones; Richard Mason; Mark Boswell; Dai Beynon; Luke Hansford; Tom Surtees; Robin Badham (Capt).


Division five west:

Wasps battle hard in the second half

Penygroes 26
Llangwm 7

A weakened Llangwm outfit lost out at Penygroes.

There was uncontested scrums as the visitors trailed 19-0 at the interval.

Penygroes added a fourth try straight after the oranges but Llangwm deserve credit for the way that they stuck to their task, prevented any further home scores and managed a deserved seven points of their own. It came when assistant coach Richard Scriven, helping out on the wing, managed to intercept a floated pass, galloped fully 50 metres and did well to pass inside for centre Andrew Brock to score a try which No 10 Luke Brock converted.

The Penygroes tries came from flanker Gary Williams, hooker Eddie Thomas, No 8 Kevin Melley and winger Phil Morgan, whilst outside half Chris Powell notched three conversions.

For the Wasps, no-one worked harder than skipper Nick Phillips and Ian Griffiths. It was a committed all-round display from Llangwm.

Llangwm: Will Beresford; Richard Scriven; Andrew Brock; Nathan Proctor; Jonathan Brock; Luke Brock; James Venables; James Griffiths; Dan Hughes; Steve Francis; Nick Phillips (Capt); Dan Morgan; Josh Davies; Ian Griffiths; Nick McPhee.
