Tata Steel narrowed Narberth’s lead to four points at the top of Division One West thanks to an emphatic 43-17 drubbing of Llangennech at the Park Rugby Ground.
The Saints were in inspired form, with a hat-trick of tries from speedster Jordan Skidmore and an influential performance from Diggy Bird, who incidentally was only able to play after Llanelli’s match at Pontypool was postponed, amassed 23 points through a try, three conversions, three penalties and a drop goal. Hooker Sion Crocker also touched down to give the forwards something to cheer about.
Llangennech, who have fallen off the pace in their last few outings, struggled to get into the match and were restricted to a brace of tries from Michael Davies, with Ricky Williams adding both conversions and a penalty.

Leaders Narberth bagged the double over their West Wales rivals Carmarthen Athletic with a 25-17 win at Johnstown.
The Otters produced a very organised display as they bossed the breakdown, and were rewarded with three tries thanks to second row Chris James and a brace from scrum half Adrian Killa. Former Athletic man Stuart Morris also had a happy return, firing home two penalties and two conversions.

Athletic meanwhile will be disappointed with their second half performance after taking a 10-6 lead into the break. The hosts were awarded a penalty try to add to Lewis Chance’s first half touchdown with Mike Sauro adding the extras to both, as well as a penalty, but it was not enough to bag a losing bonus point.

The Waterwheelers crossed twice through Mark Roberts and David Griggs, while Paul Smithson was on target with three penalties and a conversion.
