Carmarthen Athletic 7
Narberth 6

Narberth slipped to a narrow defeat at the hands of Carmarthen Athletic.

The Otters missed out on a golden opportunity to beat the Athletic, failing to take their chances when it counted and were never able to maintain any real momentum.

The Otters remain in second spot, but lost more ground on leaders Bridgend, who easily beat Waunarlwydd 34-9, with the Narberth players and supporters left wondering why they failed to beat a side which had won just twice before this season.

Narberth were on top for much of the first period, but could only muster two penalties by Aled Davies.

The Athletic bounced back just before the break with a try from flanker Lawrence Reynolds after Narberth had lost their own line out, with Ricky Williams adding the extra points to nudge his team 7-6 ahead.

Williams missed out on a penalty chance early in the second period and with neither side able to master the tricky conditions underfoot there was no further scoring.

The Otters did have a late, late chance to snatch victory when they were awarded a penalty near the half-way mark.

Up stepped Davies, but his long-range effort barely got off the ground and the Athletic were the winners of a low-key contest.
