Another fine all-round performance sees Whitland move up to fourth place in National League division one after winning by 41 points to 13.

Beddau made the most of the wind in the first half and led by 13 points to 10, but Whitland's all round dominance saw them score four second half tries to win the match comfortably.

The Borderers opened the scoring after just four minutes with a try by winger Jack Tremlett after a long mis-pass by centre Mike Buckingham. Outside-half Scott Penny added the conversion.

Beddau then got onto the scoreboard after Whitland were guilty of crossing, and winger Steven Robinson kicked the penalty. They increased their lead after 10 minutes when flank forward Robert Downes crashed over for their only try of the game, Robinson adding the extra two points.

Scott Penny brought Whitland level with a penalty after 22 minutes, but four minutes before the interval, Robinson replied with another for Beddau after Whitland's Andrew Jenkins was guilty of being offside at a set-scrum.

Scott Penny limped off after two minutes of the second half with a knee injury, and was replaced by Aled Davies.

Whitland eventually went into the lead when Davies slotted over two penalties in the 43rd and 50th minutes.

In the 54th minute, after Aled Davies had kicked deep into Beddau's half, man-of-the-match Carwyn Davies stole their lineout ball, enabling the forwards to set up a rolling maul, from which captain Phil Morgan crashed over for the try. Davies added the conversion.

The Borderers extended their advantage to 26 points to 13 four minutes later with another Davies penalty.

Now playing catch up rugby, Beddau tried to run the ball, but after a dropped pass in the centre, Aled Davies gained possession to put Lee Glanville into space, and he drew the covering player to send player/coach Dominic Setaro over in the far corner for an unconverted try.

Again after 70 minutes, after good work by the Whitland forwards, and quick hands by Glanville and Setaro, winger Jack Tremlett went over for his second try, which again went unconverted.

Whitland rounded off with another unconverted try by fullback Andrew Richards.

Tomorrow (Saturday), The Borderers are away to Glamorgan Wanderers, with a 2.30 pm kick-off. A supporters bus will leave the club at 12.15 pm.
