Whitland 28
Llangennech 13
Whitland produced another solid display to overcome Llangennech.
The Borderers have now won four games on the trot after a disappointing opening to the season.
Llangennech outside half Craig Evans gave his side an early lead with a penalty and they added a try when quick hands put winger Chris Matthews over in the corner after only nine minutes.
But the Borderers soon clawed their way back with a try by winger Dion Thomas, who dribbled through to claim the touch down after flanker James ‘Cub’ Davies had charged down a clearance attempt.
Huw Rees missed the extras but contributed a penalty after 25 minutes to level matters before he also added the conversion of a splendid try by flanker James Davies. Davies received the ball near half way and brushed off three would-be tacklers on his surge to the try-line.
Whitland pivot Carwyn Jones dropped a goal to increase the lead, but Llangennech showed their grit and fought back to score an unconverted try by number eight Rhydian Jones after a series of five-metre scrums.
Whitland had the final word however, when Carwyn Jones made the initial break and Will Davies sped over at the posts for Rees to add the extras.
