St Clears 5
Llangwm 13

Llangwm gained a deserved away win against St Clears to lift the spirits in their camp.

Their hard work in training seems to be paying off for what is a relatively young side.

The fighting spirit at Pill Parks was shown by Nick Phillips. He was moved up to prop from second row for the first time due to a playershortage and played well alongside No. 8 James Griffiths and flanker Ian Griffiths.

The Wasps defended well when they needed to and showed their attacking qualities as talented young three-quarter Nathan Proctor dived over in the left corner to claim their first try. Although Andrew Brock missed the conversion he made amends with a well-struck penalty to give his side an 8-0 interval lead.

St Clears showed they were still intent on victory as they scored first after the interval with a good try from centre Ceri Jones when the Wasps were reduced to 14 men. But when Llangwm returned to full strength they grabbed a cracking try from a scrum near halfway where Mike Venables made the initial break and cleverly kicked ahead so that his brother James could win the race for the touch-down.

It proved to be the final score of an absorbing clash and Llangwm were good value for victory, with the boost of an away win to please coach Colin Picton and team manager Richard Scriven.
