With the Quins pitch out of action and the home fixture reversed the Young Quins travelled to Narberth looking to carry their previous weeks good work to this tough encounter.

Quins Coaches, Keith Boswell & Gareth Lewis continued with the mix and match option and due to the Heavy to Slow pitch conditions, moved the burley midfield partnership of Hywel Baker & Arron Boswell into the Back Row.(Ossie Boswell would have been pleased with this). This proved decisive, as the powerful Quins forwards dominated throughout, driving and rucking their counterparts in every face.

The forwards were well marshalled by the ever present terrier Ollie Lewis who commanded the break down and scrum causing his opposite number all sorts of problems. The Quins were first to score with some powerful surges by the Pack.

The Quins Powered on spurred on by the loud and vocal support and with more powerful surges from Tommy Clarkson, Joe Gray, Tom Watson the Quins soon found themselves camped inside the Narberth 22. Line out jumpers Jordan Davies & Tom Rowe took the spoils in the line-out battle with some pin point accuracy from hooker & Captain Tom Barrass, who was frustrated not to be allowed to show off his scrummaging skills as Narberth opted to go uncontested at the Scrum. The Quins Power Pack took the driving lineout forward and moved the ball out to the ‘Jinky’ No 10 Aaron Cookson who made some ground before being well tackled by the Narberth Midfield. The Quins ‘Burley’ back row were quick to support with Mathew Washbourne the rest of the forwards close behind drove over to score, the conversion went wide making the score 22 – 7.

Conversion went wide – 22 -12. Narberth now had their tales up and started to put some pressure on the Quins, but some good defence by Gareth ‘Sparky’ James, Leighton Hart and Will kept the Narberth surges a bay.

Narberth managed a late score by pacey winger Ryan Conbeer which was slotted over making the final score at the Whistle 22 – 19 to the Quins. This was a great game by both Teams and a win that the Pembroke Dock Harlequins Coaches were all proud off.
