Leaders Tondu slipped to only their second loss of the season in One West when
they were edged out by Carmarthen Athletic 25-23 at Johnstown.
Athletic ran in three tries through centres Rhys Jones and Viv
Jenkins and hooker Gethin Robinson, while fly half Scott Maynard added ten
crucial points with the boot.
The Waterwheelers also bagged three tries through Matthew
Davies, Steven Bevan and Dan Bishop. Top points scorer Paul Smithson slotted
two penalties and a conversion, but as the usually reliable kicker stepped up
to take a penalty that would seal victory, the Tondu faithful were left
heartbroken when his effort failed to find the mark in the last minute of the
game.
