Division one west Narberth’s stop-start season continued as they followed up their thrilling home win last weekend with a disappointing defeat at Llangennech.

Tom Bonnell scored two good tries for The Otters but they were rarely at their sharpest or most decisive.

They had the lions share of possession in the early exchanges but failed to turn it into points and found themselves 10-3 down at the interval, scrum half Rhys Davies landing one penalty from his two attempts on goal.

At the other end, a break by scrum half Gareth Davies set up a try by flanker Bedwyr Davies which Ricky Williams converted to go with a penalty.

Williams added two further penalties at the start of the second half with a three-point reply from Narberth full back Andrew Phillips sandwiched in between - and the Otters fought back to trail 16-11 as Tom Bonnell raced over for his first score.

A try for Llangennech flanker Chris Stickler, converted by Williams, put the home side back in control, only for Bonnell to score his second and Phillips converted to put the Otters back in contention.

But Llangennech had the last word when they scored a late try by replacement Luke Marsh before Williams added the extra points to keep his side firmly ensconced in the top three, whilst the Otters now find themselves in eighth place.

Narberth: Adam Phillips, Tom Bonnell, Steve Martin (captain), Richard Davies, Johnny Morgan, Aled Davies, Rhys Davies, Sion Lloyd, Dan Smith, Tom Slater, Jason Jennings, Alex Jenkins, Gareth Bateman, Wayne Williams, Colin Davies. Replacements: Nathan Bowen, Jim Kaumaitotoya, Aled Jones, Andrew Thomas, Chris James.
