Division three west - TENBY United produced a superb second-half team performance to beat a Penclawdd side currently fourth in the table.

The Seasiders piled on the points after being held to 8-all in the first period.

The visitors showed that they have struck a vein of form as they took charge after the interval and made it a day to remember.

They scored three further tries to go with a Tom Lewis try in the first period which saw them claim a deserved bonus point.

Penclawdd had won 15-3 in their previous clash at Heywood Lane and this tussle again appeared to be close with the scores level at the break.

Lewis had given the Seasiders the lead with a penalty but Penclawdd then responded with a Jamie Moore penalty to go with an unconverted try from Damian Williams.

It was Lewis who finished off an excellent move where quick hands and changes of direction created the overlap from which the outside half scored an unconverted try.

Moore did manage a dropped goal for the ‘Cocklemen’ in the second half but then the Tenby pack got on top.

The Seasiders had tries from inside centre Toby Smith and his brother Sam at No 8. Jack Guerreiro, who came on as winger for James Criddle, also got his name on the try sheet and Lewis took his personal tally to 17 points with another penalty and three well-struck conversions.

They also displayed some resilient defence and skipper Nicky Guymer’s men were able to celebrate a win to take them to eighth in the table.
