Llangwm 23 - Pembroke Dock Harlequins 21
 
George James - outstanding for The Wasps

Llangwm claimed their first win of the season as they caused a bit of a surprise against opponents sitting nicely in second place, with three wins from four matches.
 
The Wasps served notice of intent as they battled really hard in the first half to lead 9-7 thanks to three penalties by centre George James against a try by The Quins No 8 Harry Owen, which skipper Ben Hathaway converted.
 
As fortunes ebbed and flowed in front of a large, partisan crowd, Danny Wilkes’ try, converted by Hathaway, put The Quins back in front – but a try by George Evans, which he also converted swung the game the other way for a short while.
 
Then a Morgan Rogers’ try, converted by Hathaway restored the lead for The Quins but straight from the kick-off they knocked on, conceded a penalty and replacement hooker Gethin Thomas was a popular Wasps’ scorer, and his try was converted by talented young Llangwm No 10 Harry Makepeace to earn his team the spoils in a proper local derby that showed there is still spirit when local teams meet, rather than having to travel distances and cost their clubs a small fortune in bus hire!
