Championship: Narberth 38-0 Tata Steel
Narberth gained their expected win over bottom club Tata Steel as they ran in five tries to also collect a bonus point, whilst coach Sean Gale will also be pleased that The Otters kept a clean sheet.
They had already won 28-15 against Tata early in the campaign and found themselves 21-0 up after only 15 minutes.
Winger Dafydd Pritchard led the way for The Otters with a try hat-trick after Narberth took the lead within five minutes, when livewire flanker Tom Powell broke through and winger Nick Gale added the extra points.
Then Pritchard raced into the corner after 11 minutes and Gale did really well to add the conversion from wide out – and Pritchard added his second four minutes later when he rounded off a move to score at the posts to give Gale his simplest two points of the afternoon.
Gale also notched a penalty soon after the interval but The Otters were unable to convert pressure into points until they grabbed two more tries in the closing stages – the first coming in the 75th minute to secure the bonus point when Pritchard pounced for a third time and replacement kicker Jonathan Rogers converted.
Talented youngster Llewelyn Jones, son of former Narberth flanker Rhodri Jones, then claimed his first try at this level before Rogers converted to complete a satisfactory afternoon for Gale’s squad.
Narberth: Ianto Griffiths, Nick Gale, Jake Jenkins, Joe Hutchings, Dafydd Pritchard, Jonathan Rogers, Rhys Lane, Bradley Davies, Rhodri Owens, Tom Slater, Steff Phillips, Alex Jenkins (capt), Rich Rees (capt), Tom Powell, Roy Osborn. Replacements: Dan Smith, Dan Jacobs, Dewi Williams, Llew Jones, Lewys Gibby.
