langwm 0 - Laugharne 32

Laugharne completed the double over Llangwm at Pill Parks, with The Wasps’ ground staff performing miracles to get the game played after so much rain, the visitors having already beaten The Wasps 38-3 at home.

The home side started off slowly and soon found themselves five points adrift as Laugharne scrum half  Gethin Jones opened their account with a blind-side snipe from a scrum and a clever grubber-kick and chase before winning the race for the touchdown.

Then Laugharne flanker Mikey Williams scored from a successful push-over attempt and hooker Richard Walters rounded off a catch and drive move with a try to give his side a 15-0 lead at the interval.

But it hadn’t been all one-way traffic because Josh Hicks as usual featured for The Wasps with some powerful surges, coming close on a few occasions as he found willing support up from by Gavin Jones, Gethin Thomas, Ieuan Power and skipper James Lewis, with Ian Griffiths and Ashley James tackling like demons alongside Danny Chesmer and Jamie Brayford.

It was a similar story in the second half as The Wasps tried hard but Laugharne added further tries by full back Tom Davies and a second score for Mikey Williams, plus seven pointsd from a penalty try as the home pack tired.
