Division Two West:
Whitland 59-0 Pontyberem
Whitland bounced back to winning ways with a demolition of visiting Pontyberem to complete a high-scoring double since they had already beaten this opposition by 48-10 earlier in the campaign.
The platform was established in the first half as The Borderers were 14-0 in front but ran the legs off the opposition to run in seven more tries after the interval as reward for their high-intensity brand of rugby.
Outside half Nico Setaro opened the home side’s account with a try he also converted, as he did when Marc Jones claimed their second.
It was all one-way traffic after the interval, however as skipper Jones added his second and was joined on the scoresheet by outstanding back rowers Ryan Morgan and Jack Mason, who formed a terrific breakaway unit with James Lewis.
Talented full back Scott Newton also sliced through for a try brace as reward for excellent work in defence as well as attack, with replacement centre Jonathan Thomas and prop Rob Morris also scoring tries.
Nico Setaro landed seven out of nine conversions to set the seal on a great Whitland win and if they can maintain this sort of play in the New Year they will be there or thereabouts at the end of the campaign as they continue to put pressure on fellow front runners Hendy and Pontarddulais.
Whitland: Scott Newton, Aaron Ebsworth, Ryan Davies, Josh Thomas, Sean Coles, Nico Setaro, Adam Davies, Aaron Mayne, Marc Jones, Michael Ryan, Raff Williams, Hayden Baldwin, Ryan Morgan, Ryan Michael, Jack Mason.
Replacements: Kevin Allen, Geraint Lewis, James Lewis, Jonathan Thomas, Tom Parry.
