After their fine victory over Loughor the previous week, Tenby must have been in bouyant mood when they travelled to play Pontarddulais in their latest division two west clash on?Saturday.

But they were soon brought back down to earth by a determined home side who were quickly out of the starting blocks, rocking the United with a 14-point burst in the first quarter of the game.

Dean Courtney bagged a couple of tries, and both were converted by George Mbofame, as the Seasiders seemed to have left their recent form on the bus.

And even when they did began to step up a gear, they still found the going tough, with their only points of the first half coming from the boot of fly-half Harry?Rossiter with a penalty.

He added a second soon after the break, but the Bont stretched away again when Craig Davies crossed for their third try, which went unconverted.

The United did rally in the later stages, but a try from number eight Andrew Cooke, converted by Rossiter, was not enough to change the outcome and they returned to Tenby mulling over what had been a disappointing display.

They will be hoping that they can put that behind them and return to winnings ways when they entertain?Fishguard at Heywood Lane tomorrow (Saturday).
