Division three west Tenby United 17 Haverfordwest 34 Haverfordwest maintained their excellent form with a win at Heywood Lane that kept alive their 100% record.

The Blues were deservedly 27-3 ahead at half time as they ran in four tries to ensure a bonus point. The Seasiders did battle back with two converted tries as reward for a long period of pressure - but Ollie Reyland came on as a replacement and rounded off some great work by Matthew Davies to make the game safe.

The Blues laid down their marker early on as forwards and backs combined in some driving runs and crisp handling that left Tenby flat-footed. Skipper Dave Williams opened the Blues’ scoring with a well-worked try which his brother Steve converted, as he did when powerful prop Rob Evans ploughed over soon afterwards.

The Blues scored a third try in ten minutes when crisp handling by Jarred Bayliss, the Williams brothers, Mark Jones and Darren Salmon released Matthew Davies for a run in to the right corner for an unconverted try.

Steve Williams exchanged penalties with Tom Lewis, but Haverfordwest had the final word in the half when a Dave Williams’ burst set up the chance for flanker Dane Pindair to score on his debut.

But whatever coach Emori Katalau said to his Tenby players at the oranges it seemed to work because they fought back really well in the second half. They deservedly scored a try when Scott Payne came on and crashed through in the left corner for Tom Lewis to thump over the conversion, as he did when livewire No 8 Wyndham Williams rounded off another concerted team effort.

But the Blues weathered the storm well and although Steve Williams missed a penalty he added the extra points to Reyland’s try to seal the verdict and keep the Blues looking in good shape for a cracking season.
