(Division five west) PEMBROKE Dock Harlequins pushed St Clears all the way before the Saints edged home by three points.

But the Quins were left to reflect on some missed kicks which ultimately saw them fall just short.

It meant the Saints completed a double, having won at Bierspool by 23-15, but again there were positive signs for the Quins.

The Saints took the early lead with a quality try from centre Ceri Jones which was converted by Chris Smart.

But Barry Parsons was outstanding in the second row for the Quins in his lineout capacity and general play, while Lee Scourfield posed a constant threat in midfield with his running. He set up the Quins’ opening score for flanker Nathan George, which Neil Brace couldn’t quite convert.

Scourfield also featured as he scored the Quins’ second try when he sped up the touchline to score in the corner.

It meant that the Quins were 10-7 ahead but a Chris Smart penalty hauled the Saints level – before he kept his nerve late on to add the winning three points.
