TENBY UNITED 22 GORSEINON 23
In a thrilling match at Heywood Lane, the Seasiders threw away the points in the dying moments, for the second successive match running. In a match that the home side were winning 22-8 at half-time, Gorseinon pulled off a terrific comeback to snatch a victory that sees them top the Division Three West table. Tenby started the match well, with the opening try scored by fly-half Scott McLaughlin, who also added the conversion. The away side then hit back with a penalty from centre Andrew Burder, followed by a try from number eight Brian Thomas. Having been stung by this, the United responded with some fine attacking rugby finished off by a try from winger Dan Shooter. And with Neil Powling kicking a penalty and Andrew Davies's try being converted by McLaughlin, the Seasiders went into the break with a convincing lead. The visitors clearly came out in the second half with a point to prove, with winger Rhys Heath grabbing his side's second try of the match. Next to reduce the deficit was flanker Richard Jones, who crashed over for a try, which Burder converted, leaving Gorseinon needing just a penalty kick to grab full points. Then in the dying seconds, the Seasiders gave away the penalty that saw the match snatched away from them by Burder's cool kick. Tenby United team: Alex Watt, Dan Shooter, Paul Luger, Neil Powling, Dai Merrick, Scott McLauglin, Andrew Davies, Scott Payne, Mike Lewis, Mark Brace, Gareth Edwards, Wayne McMillan, Nicky Allen, Chris James, Paul Broaders.
