Relieved Narberth got back to winning ways on Saturday with a comprehensive victory over visiting Llantrisant.
Putting the disappointment of two successive league defeats behind them, the Otters turned on the style to overwhelm the men from the Mint with some free-flowing open rugby.
The Black Army just had no answer to the incisiveness of the pacy Narberth attack as the home side ran in no fewer than seven tries to put a beaming smile back on the faces of the Lewis Lloyd faithful.
Narberth went into the match intent on getting their promotion bid back on track, and they quickly made those intentions clear as they crossed for their first touchdown with the game barely five minutes old.
It came following a break in midfield by Andrew Bowen who linked with forwards Jamie Bohata and Gareth Bennett, before centre Will Morgan received possession to squeeze over by the corner flag.
It was just the start the Otters wanted and a superb touchline conversion from thee boot of fullback Aled Davies was the icing on the cake.
The match had started in light drizzle, which relented as the game progressed, and as the sun began to shine so Narberth continued to match its brilliance.
The Otters nosed further in front with another successful kick by fullback Davies, this time a penalty, and it was not long before centre Morgan had grabbed his second try of the afternoon after some neat play by fly-half Simon Daniel.
The try went unconverted, but by the time the opening half ended, Davies had had the opportunity to try and add the extras to two more touchdowns, the first from last season's leading division two scorer John Whitticombe and the scored by other winger Andrew George, who was on hand to finish off a superb length of the field move by the unstoppable Otters.
The first conversion failed, but the second from near the sticks presented no problems for Davies to send Narberth in at half-time with a healthy 29-point lead under their belts.
Llantrisant did not let their heads drop, however, and came out for the second half with renewed determination.
And they were rewarded for their efforts when substitute flanker Matthew Newlands crossed for their only try of the afternoon, converted by outside-half Ian Jones.
But Newlands' joy was shortlived as soon after, he was sent to the sin-bin after receiving a yellow card from the referee.
After that, Narberth again stepped up a gear, fullback Aled Davies quickly restoring their 29-point advantage as he crossed for a try and added the extras for good measure.
And it was not long before skipper Simon Davies also got in on the try-scoring act as he marked his return to first team action with his side's sixth touchdown of the afternoon.
Midway through the half, Narberth made four substitutions and two of the replacements soon caught the eye - for very different reasons.
On the plus side, flanker Meurig Daniels, who had come on for Alan Reynolds, bagged the final try after another well-worked move, but the smiles were erased when Fifitapuku Faletau, who had replaced prop Dai Balkwill, received a red card when he retaliated after appearing to be being punched when on the floor.
Ironically, it was his first appearance back in Narberth colours after receiving his marching orders at Beddau, so that his long-term prospects for the remainder of the season must be in doubt, even if the decision of the referee was deemed a little harsh.
The post-match celebrations were somewhat muted following the sending off of 'Puku' and there is a possibility that the Narberth club may cite the Llantrisant player who triggered off the flurry of punches.
Prop Alan Phillips was nominated man of the match by the match sponsors, The Otters' Group, and the match ball was sponsored by Pat and Midge Thomas, Family Butchers of Narberth.
Tomorrow (Saturday), Narberth are home to Brynmawr in a match which will kick-off at 2 pm.
