Swalec Bowl
Pembroke’s hopes of making the quarter finals of the Swalec Bowl were ruined by a disappointing first half against Trebanos. Centre Gareth Hopkins and his namesake at hooker Rhys scored first half tries for the division 5 side, while fly half Nick Davinovitch kicked seven points to help them into a 3-17 interval lead.

Pembroke responded with a second half try by Luke Hansford but a second try from centre Hopkins saw Trebanos ease home 10-22.


Division one
Whitland’s poor form continued as they went down 24-7 at Bridgend Athletic. Home fly half Martin Morgan put his side ahead with a penalty before adding a further seven points with a solo try and conversion. Athletic winger Rob Davies then rounded off some great handling to score under the posts but Borderers flanker Ryan Michael kept his side in touch with a pushover try on the brink of half time.

The away side had early chances in the second half but after full back James Stephenson was wide with a penalty, Davies cut through again for the home side to seal a convincing win.


Division three
Haverfordwest picked up a crucial away win at Cardigan. Steve Williams kicked an early penalty for the Blues before no 8 Dafydd Bowen crashed over from a close range scrum. The Teifisiders responded with a Mike Diggle penalty but after half time, pacy winger Wayne Parsons levelled matters with an unconverted try. The game’s defining moment came when full back Matthew Davies sped through and released winger Darren Salmon to score in the corner, before a late Williams penalty sealed an 8-16 win.

Crymych picked up their eighth win in 12 starts, beating Lampeter Town 8-21. Flanker Richard Sharper-Williams got the ball rolling for the home side and fly half Gareth Davies added two penalties to give the Preseli Men an 0-11 half time lead.

Scrum half Paul Davies grabbed a try for the home side after the break but a further Davies penalty, followed by a converted try by Simon James, ensured a deserved Crymych win.


Division four
Milford Haven suffered a disastrous home defeat after they let a 23-12 interval lead slip against Betws. Wingers Tom Bullivant and Craig Thomas, along with hooker Chris Spillane, scored first half tries for the Mariners while Leigh Broome added eight points with the boot.

However, tries by Keith Evans and Gareth Davies kept the away side in touch before Gareth Edwards and Dylan Roberts turned the game on its head late on, with Roberts adding three conversions to give his side a cracking 23-26 victory.

Tenby continued their great form, racking up a 21-6 win over promotion chasing Cefneithin. Tom Lewis and away full back Chris Moore exchanged two penalties each early on, but from then on it was one way traffic as tries from skipper Harry Bolton and no 8 Sam Smith put the Seasiders in command. Lewis converted one try and added another penalty as the home side comfortably held out for a commanding win.


Division five
Neyland enjoyed another big win as they brushed aside St Davids with a 53-0 win.

Fishguard remain firmly in contention for promotion with a 22-6 win over Penygroes. The Seagulls led 11-3 at half time after fly half Huw Evans added two penalties to Romeo Collella’s early try. Evans opposite number Ryan Powell brought his side back into it with another penalty after the break, but home winger Matthew George then sped over before full back Rhodrhi Thomas finished matters with a try of his own.

Llangwm continue to struggle on the road, losing 63-7 at Aberaeron.
