Whenever Narberth and Tenby meet, it always leads to a thrilling, exciting game of rugby. This was no different, with some excellent tackling and strong running from both teams.

Tenby kicked off into a strong wind and within a minute Robert had scored the first try of the day, which was converted by Curtis.

The restart saw Daniel run 30 yards towards the try line, only to be tackled just short.

Narberth then began to attack and after strong tackles from Cai, Robert, Loui and Carwyn, they got their first try.

Just before half-time Narberth scored again.

Tenby had their half-time pep talk, but Narberth managed to score immediately.

This appeared to be what Tenby needed to get going again. There were some excellent runs from Ieuan, Curtis, Ryan, Phil, Deri and Alex, the clearing out of the ball was second to none and massive tackling which led to a Tenby throw. This in turn led to a lovely drive by the pack which saw Robert dive over the try line. Curtis added the conversion.

Tenby then defended really well, but Narberth proved too strong and scored again.

It was Tenby's turn to attack now, which saw a lovely pass from Phil to Robert on the halfway line. There was only one thing on Robert's mind - a hat-trick, which was well deserved. Again Curtis converted.

In the dying seconds of the game, Narberth scored again.

PS. Even the referee was tackled and ended up on the floor!

Team: Loui Fecci, Robert Fairlie, Ieuan Williams, Philip Horsley, Alex Heesom, Ryan O'Neill, Cai Evans, Curtis Hurlow, Daniel Robins, Deri Isaac, Carwyn Lawrence.

TENBY U12s 42 pts

NARBERTH U12s 0

After watching Wales beat Canada in the World Cup, the Tenby squad were eager to take to the field and test their own skills against local rival Narberth.

Lewis Canton took the responsibility as captain and found he had an easy day of it. Reason being the whole squad were one hundred percent committed from the very first whistle and took control of the game instantaneously.

Lloyd Thomas ensured the backs kept their shape and with good service from his loyal scrum-half Ianto Griffiths, Lloyd spun the ball to the centres whenever possible. This created a fast game of running rugby from the Seasiders which the visiting team had no match for. Even with some very brave and gallant defending, the black and reds ran riot in the first half, scoring five very impressive tries.

The first came from Michael Robins, who finished off an excellent passage of play which saw the forwards take control of two rucks before releasing Michael to score in the corner.

The front row of Daniel Gosnold, Sam Fletcher and Lewis Davies ran as one and proved too active for their opposite numbers. The second rows Andrew Cooke, Nino Rogers and Adam Walker also showed power and commitment during the close-quarter encounters and with their ever-supportive flankers of Lewis Hodgson and Daniel Thomas, they rarely failed to ensure good clean second phase ball for the speedsters to attack with.

The second try found the backs working well together, with Joseph Richards shoulder running and acting as a support runner to Lewis Canton, who pop passed to Joseph, providing him with an excellent try.

Third went to Ianto Griffiths, who took the only route he knows - straight and true - for a breath-taking individual score.

Next saw Joseph take his second after Ross Gray and he interlinked well out on the flanks.

Tenby were now flying and no matter how hard the visitors tackled, the lads just hit them with wave after wave of supportive play. Again it was the forwards who took the knocks and bruises on the chin with hard toe-to-toe rugby, which enabled Johnathan Miller to rip the ball crisply from their number eight before it found itself spinning effortlessly from one set of Tenby hands to another, until it reached Tom Baker, who crashed over for a typical centre's powerhouse try.

After a quick water break, the home side were eager to repeat the first half excellence, but unfortunately this was not to be. The simple reason from the coaches point of view - greed.

Thinking of the try line all the time, the ball was hardly passed along the backline and individuals became isolated, making it easier for the visitors to defend against. Three tries did appear via Michael Robins, Lloyd Thomas and new boy Adam Walker, but many more should have rained in, if shape and passing remained!

Good stuff - roll on Neyland.

TENBY SWIFTS U13s 55 pts. NARBERTH U13s 0

Tenby Swifts Under 13s were buoyant form last Sunday afternoon when they completed the whitewash of Narberth's junior teams with a big win. Admittedly, Narberth were depleted with the absence of some key players, but so were Tenby who had their two main ball carrying forwards absent.

Such was the mood of the Swifts camp, however, that they were determined to carry on the way they finished against Whitland the previous weekend and indeed opened their account after just two minutes of play with a Joseff Morris try. This was the first of a hat-trick that this athletic back-rower was to complete, with captain Jamie Williams, co-centre Chris Heesom, wings James Canton and Thomas Nash (in his first outing for the club), Toby Smith and Patrick Roberts weighing in with one apiece.

The forwards once again showed what a mobile rucking and mauling unit they have become, with Sam Ferguson leading the way with his direct approach and commitment. Declan Sharma at hooker is improving with every game, both in the scrum department and with his lineout throwing, and prop Robert Jones once again made some lively charges at the opposition line.

Andrew Evans and Gareth Lawrence made big contributions in the second row, with Andrew winning a lot of lineout ball at the front. Oliver Goldwait gave his usual one hundred per cent (when he arrived!) and Yannic Parker relished the open style of game this match produced. Toby Smith (normally a centre-wing) was tried at No.8 in the first half and will have enjoyed his close encounter with the forwards, but reverted to centre in the second half, with captain Jamie Williams willingly accepting his invitation to join the forwards.

Both these boys are outstanding backs, but at this age it does no-one any harm to experience a different position. It helps develop and improve their understanding of the game with its diverse demands.

Joseff Morris has already been mentioned as a hat-trick try scorer and that is the reward he reaped for his constant support work, and the acres of ground he covers in a game.

Scrum-half Kiefer Thomson was his usual spikey self and made some thrilling jinking breaks. His service to the other experimental positionally changed Patrick Roberts at outside-half was also sharp and accurate. Roberts, normally a back row forward, played his first game at No.10 with a maturity that augurs well for the future and his passing game served the threequarter-line well in that he got them taking the ball on the run. He also slotted five conversions and hit the woodwork with three in a fine kicking display.

Chris Heesom's pace outside leaves the crowd gasping as much as it leaves opponents standing and with co-centre Jamie Williams forms a devastating midfield combination.

Wings Callum Baxter and James Canton saw plenty of ball, with James capitalising on a lively run with a try in the corner, and Callum being unlucky not to get on the score sheet.

New recruit Thomas Nash made his debut in the second half and immediately looked an outstanding project with his pace, strength and a nose for the try line. He ran well for his try and it is hoped that it will be the first of many for the club.

Matthew Davies made the most of his freedom from defensive work to join in the passing and handling movements and is to be commended on his unselfish off-loading of the ball to create scoring situations.

So yet another satisfying victory was recorded for Tenby in this local derby and we shall have to wait and see if there is a return fixture later in the season when perhaps both teams will be at full strength.

Tenby fielded: Matthew Davies, Callum Baxter, James Canton, Thomas Nash, Chris Heesom, Jamie Williams (capt.), Patrick Roberts, Kiefer Thomson, Sam Ferguson, Declan Sharma, Robert Jones, Gareth Lawrence, Andrew Evans, Oliver Goldwait, Yannic Parker, Toby Smith and Joseff Morris.

Tenby U14s 31 pts.

Narberth U14s 17

Tenby Swifts Under 14 team travelled to Narberth full of anticipation following their first leg win at home (writes Waterboy). A squad of 16 had rallied to the cause as earlier outings had resorted to reduced team games.

The two teams emerged onto the fine main pitch, and both looked equally matched in size, skill and speed. The loyal fans were expecting a fast, flowing game, as was seen at Tenby a couple of weeks earlier. We were not disappointed, with many of the two teams being classmates, the game was one that was essential to win, and both sides played their hearts out.

Spurred on by the Welsh victory over Canada earlier that morning, the Tenby side quickly showed that they meant business, with huge efforts in the scrum from Mathew Watkins, Henry Boot, Iwan Lawrence, Joe Lewis, Richard Jones and Huw Evans, which would have made even Steve Hansen smile.

The combination of Sam Baker, Guto Griffiths and Danny Williams once again proved pivotal to the attack and defence capabilities of Ben Griffiths, Andrew Stretton, Simon Stanford, Josh Bevan and Jamie Robins, all of whom could have been mistaken for the Fijian backs, such was their huge commitment.

Breakouts from the set-pieces led to four tries from Luke Dedman, which would have secured an extra point for the team in Australia. A fine individual kick and run try from Rob Colley added to the total and combined with three conversions from Guto Griffiths secured the double for the Tenby team.

Team Griffiths (Iwan and Simon) are eager to see any new or returning recruits to the squad to help build on the early success of the new season.
