Pembroke Dock Harlequins 15
Cardigan 20
A last-gasp try by winger Rhydian Jenkins saw Cardigan edge to victory at Bierspool against Pembroke Dock Quins.
Powerful centre Nathan Murphy made a half break and fed to Mike Diggle, who supplied the scoring pass for Jenkins to celebrate the winning score.
The Quins had led 7-3 at the break with a try by flanker Lance Tallett, on leave from the RAF, with hooker Neil Brace slotting the conversion.
Cardigan responded with a Mike Diggle penalty, although the Quins might have had other scores but dropped two passes at key times - and hooker Brace was unlucky to be pulled back for a knock-on as he dived over the line.
Strong-running centre Simon Coleman added a second try for the Quins after the oranges but midway through the period the Teifisiders closed the gap to two points when scrum half Will Turner broke from a scrum, broke three tackles and scored a solo try from 70 metres out which Diggle converted. Inspired by this success, Cardigan added a cracking try which saw Murphy round off some good handling - only for the Quins to haul themselves back level when hooker Brace notched a penalty.
But then came that late, late try for the Teifisiders - and the Quins had to settle for a bonus point as small reward for their considerable effort!
