Carms 16's 10 - 6 Pembs 16's

Carmarthenshire overcame a spirited Pembrokeshire side 10 points to 6 in last nights Welsh Cup clash at Haverfordwest RFC. With Pembrokeshire dominating the forward battle it was left to the Carmarthenshire team to produce the ball in hand high tempo total rugby which left Rugby Development officer Paul Fisher drivelling with delight.

The Carmarthenshire tries were scored by Chris Morris (aka Tubzzy) whose bullocking 2 meter score was the result of forward pressure on the opposition try line by the Carmarthenshire pack. The second try was instigated from fine forward play within the Carmarthenshire 22 resulting in quick ball being recycled to the backs who showed fine running and handling skills culminating in Rhys Webb run in to score a breath taking try which was loudly applauded by the Pembrokeshire Coaches and crowd.

This result secured Carmarthenshire a 4 point advantage to carry into the home fixture on the 15th of October which promises to be a nail biting contest.
