Seasiders snatch victory

Pontyberem 15

Tenby United 17

A Late penalty by outside half Lloyd Thomas earned Tenby United a vital away win.

The win keeps them firmly positioned in second place and just two points behind leaders Amman United.

The home side, traditionally strong on their own patch, took the lead with a try from Dan Griffiths, converted by Mike Sauro.

But The Seasiders, with Gareth Edwards, Roy Osborne and Jason Scarfe to the fore, levelled matters when second row Ashley Bonser scored a try which Thomas converted.

Pontyberem again went in front when Steve George scored an unconverted try.

But the visitors struck back again to take the lead for the first time when full back Aled Bowen claimed his second try in as many matches and Thomas again added the extra points.

Sauro found the target with a Pontyberem penalty to give his side the lead by a single point but Thomas calmly slotted his threepointer before Sauro missed a long-range attempt that would have denied the Seasiders a deserved victory.
