Pembroke Dock Quins 10 pts.

The Quins suffered their heaviest defeat of the season against a far more experienced Laugharne side, which was well-orchestrated by outside-half Stefan Evans.

It was the visitors who struck first after 10 minutes when Stefan Evans cut through the Quins’ defence to score close to the posts; he converted it himself to put his side seven points up.

The Quins at this stage were matching their bigger and more experienced opponents, with the whole pack especially showing full commitment.

It was the Quins who were next on the scoresheet with a well-worked try for number eight Harry Owen, as he showed some neat footwork before scoring halfway out.

Fullback Lewis Davies pushed his conversion narrowly wide.

The visitors, however, soon responded with two quickfire tries from fullback Thomas Davies.

Stefan Evans converted both and for good measure kicked a penalty with the last action of the half to send his side in with a 24-5 lead.

The Quins were under more pressure as the second half started as they were finding it more and more difficult to handle Stefan Evans as they attacked at every opportunity.

On 55 minutes, scrum-half Gethin Jones scored the all-important bonus point try, converted by Evans.

Number eight Mike Williams soon followed with a fine try in the corner, which was again converted by Evans with a magnificent kick.

Right wing Gareth Spiers and Gethin Jones soon added two more tries, with the latter being converted by Evans.

Tom Davies rounded off his side’s scoring by completing his hat-trick and Evans stroked over his seventh conversion of the afternoon to end with a match haul of 22 points.

Young left winger Will Nicot finished off the Quins’ best move of the match with a fine unconverted try in the corner with just five minutes remaining.

The Quins ended the game on the attack and were unlucky not to grab a third try, which spoke volumes for the effort and spirit that the young side put in.
