Narberth nearly in danger zone

Llangennech 23 Narberth 12

Llangennech scored 18 unanswered second half points to inflict a fourth successive defeat on The Otters after the visitors led 12-5 at half time.
The Otters started brightly enough and their enterprise was rewarded after 15 minutes when centre Neil Davies scored a try which was converted by talented youngster Rhys Davies, on as an early replacement for the injured Nick Jones.
Llangennech reduced the deficit after 33 minutes with an unconverted try by winger Mike Davies after a good break by centre Nathan Bowen – but the Otters responded before the interval with an excellent try from their own 22 when Timoci Kaumahotoya broke out of defence and found Rhys Davies at his elbow for the young winger to speed up the left and score a cracking corner try but he was unable to convert.
But the Otters were unable to add any further points after the break and Aled Roberts reduced the deficit with a 55th minute penalty from half way and slotted another three-pointer seven minutes afterwards when Gareth Bateman was yellow-carded for Narberth.
In his absence Llangennech scored a try by No 8 Ryan Thomas which put Llangennech ahead for the first time before they sealed victory with a second try from Mike Davies which Roberts converted to give the host club a third win of the season and maintain the Otters’ disappointing run of defeats.
