Tondu 17
Narberth 22

IN A TIGHT second half, it was flanker Stuart Worrall who stole the show for the Otters, as he touched down for a fantastic try, converted by Ianto Griffiths which was the only score in the second half. Narberth were on the score sheet first as Ianto Griffiths slotted a neat penalty before Rhys Davies slid over out wide. Tondu then ran in three tries in nearly as many minutes as Matthew Morgan, Gavin Eager and Shane Bowen all broke through the Otters defence, and scrum half Gareth Power added the extras to one try.

However the Otters showed true grit as they fought back through Rhys Davies, as the man of the match touched down for his second try, this time converted by Griffiths. This called to an end a very busy first half, and the Otters were two points adrift. The second half kicked off, and neither side gave an inch in a tight affair. Both sides were cautious not to give away kickable penalties, and this showed as the game was played between the two 22 meter lines. Stuart Worrall then claimed the decisive score, giving Narberth a sweet victory on the road. They now travel to Blackwood on Saturday (Nov 1) for their next league fixture.

HAVERFORDWEST booked their place in the quarter finals of the Pembrokeshire KO Cup, where they will meet Pembroke Dock Harlequins, after beating Aberaeron on Wednesday night (Oct 20).

Despite the atrocious weather conditions, which saw rain batter the Pembroke Road playing surface for much of the game, both sides played an excellent game.

In the end it was the Blues who came out on top with a 44-6 win.

Outside Half Jake Morgan got the Blues rolling early on with a penalty and Rhys Baker then scored the game’s first try to make it 8-0.

Second Row Jack Clancy got his name on the score sheet but the conversion was missed.

Aberaeron then got themselves on the board with a penalty but the Blues were soon back on the attack with Will Blackburn next to go over.

That was converted by Morgan to give the home side a 20-3 lead.

Lewis Tingay and Rhys Baker added further tries for the Blues while Aber added a further penalty as the sides went in at half time with the score reading 30-6.

Early in the second half Tingay added his second try of the night and Morgan added the conversion.

That all but ended any hopes the away side had of getting themselves back in the game and the Blues continued to play despite the pouring rain.

Tingay then completed his hat trick with a try under the posts giving Morgan a simple conversion to make it 44-6.

There was no scoring in the final twenty minutes but the Blues had done the job and booked their place in the last eight.

Their quarter final with the Quins will be played on or before January 22.
