Pembroke Dock Quins 31 pts.

St. David’s 0

The Quins pulled off the expected bonus point win over a St. Davids side that competed to the last and certainly deserved to at least get on the scoreboard in the only game that was played in the county over the weekend.

It goes without saying that the weather was atrocious, with the rain pouring down almost continually, but this did not stop the Quins getting quickly into their stride when hooker Carl Williams forced his way over wide out after just five minutes for his third try of the season.

Outside-half Jonathan Rogers missed the almost impossible conversion attempt from the touchline.

With the pitch starting to cut up quite badly as the game went on, both sides showed fine spirit and commitment, with the Saints not giving an inch, and it was not until five minutes before the break that the Quins managed to score their second try when prop Jason Keates emerged from a pile of bodies to claim his first of the season.

Rogers missed with the conversion, and soon after the Saints had an opportunity to reduce the arrears right on half-time, but fullback John Miles pulled his penalty attempt wide.

The Quins, desperate to get the all-important bonus point, got just the start they wanted afte the interval when a superb pass from the ever-improving Thomas Doyle sent fellow centre and Youth team captain Charlie Dearden racing in from 30 yards for his first try in senior rugby.

Fullback Damien Miller converted from in front of the posts to push the score out to 17-0 in the Quins’ favour.

From there on in it became the Doyle show when the young centre scored the final two tries, first when he danced through the Saints’ defence to touchdown under the posts, before finishing off a fine move when number eight Barry Parsons sent him in under the posts again.

Miller converted to complete the scoring.

Quins team: Damien Miller, Sam Richards, Thomas Doyle, Charlie Dearden, Paul Jonkers, Jonathan Rogers, Jason Scarfe, Jason Keates, Carl Williams, James Gardener, Mike Davis, Alex Pierce, Stefan Halward, Jake Griffiths and Barry Parsons (captain).
