Narberth extended their lead to four points at the summit of Division One West with a 17-10 victory over second placed Tata Steel, in difficult conditions at the Lewis Lloyd Ground .
The Otters outscored their rivals three tries to one through Giles Vaughan, Nick Jones and Steve Martin, while Stuart Morris added a conversion.
The Saints will have to be content with a losing bonus point after they could only manage a first half John Phillips touchdown, converted by outside half Diggy Bird, who also fired home a penalty after the interval.
Bonymaen continue to struggle at the bottom losing their tenth match, going down at home 18-11 to UWIC.
The Students notched up all their points in the first half, touching down twice through Rhodri Davies and Sam Cross, while Rhys Roberts fired home two penalties and a conversion.
Bony staged a mini fight-back after the interval to secure a losing bonus point with Nick Clancey crossing the whitewash for the hosts, while Richard Cunniffe slotted a penalty to add to Paul Warlow’s first half effort.
In the only other fixture of the day to make it to the pitch, Llanharan staged a remarkable second half comeback at Ammanford to eventually run out 16-13 winners.
The new boys got off to the better start and dominated proceedings early on, and were rewarded for their efforts when referee Stuart Kibble awarded the hosts a penalty try. Young outside half Carwyn Richards added the conversion and fired home two penalties to give his side a 13-0 advantage at the break.
The Dairymen’s power in the pack started to pay dividends in the second half as the match slowly became a war of attrition in heavy conditions. The visitors crossed twice through Steve Cullen and James Greenfield, while Chris Williams fired home two all important penalties to gift his side their second win on the bounce.
The other two scheduled matches in the Division fell foul of cold weather as Bridgend Athletic’s game against Whitland and Carmarthen Athletic’s clash with Tondu were postponed.
