The all important fourth try came in the second half scored by number 8 James Thomas, who outpaced the Wanderers defence to get over the line.
The penalty that decided the game came in the dying minutes of the match and was knocked through the sticks by Setaro to take all the points in what is turning into a promising season for the Borderers.
The win is Whitland’s fourth of the season and leaves them seventh in the Admiral National League 1 West, three points ahead of the Wanderers who are eighth and have played three games more.
