Description:
NARBERTH took on fourth placed Bonymaen in front of a large crowd at the Lewis Lloyd Ground and whilst it wasn’t one of their better performances of the season they came away with the required bonus point win to keep them at the top of the Championship (West) Division.<br/>After a scrappy first 10 minutes, Narberth eventually got some points on the board when fly half Jonathan Rogers kicked a penalty.<br/>The Otters continued to put the visitors under pressure but a solid and determined defence kept them out.<br/>Eventually, after hooker Kyle Hamer had come close to scoring but was held up over the line, a scrum five yards out saw scrum half Lewys Gibby stride over the line for a try converted by Rogers (10- 0).<br/>Then right on half time a quickly taken lineout throw saw Gibby again put into space and he stepped inside the final defender to score his second try under the posts again converted by Rogers.<br/>Ten minutes after the break, another dancing run downfield by Gibby saw captain Tom Powell receive the final pass and crash over for a try converted by Rogers to extend the lead to 24 – 0.<br/>An excellent angled run by centre Aled Rees saw him tackled just short of the line but Otters No.8 Roy Osborn was on hand to take the pass and score the bonus point try again converted by Rogers (31 – 0).<br/>The visitors, however, refused to give up and from a lineout five metres out their No.6 brushed off some would be tacklers and crashed over to score their first try.<br/>Within minutes Bonymaen had scored again when an overlap in front of the grandstand saw the same Bonymaen flanker dive over for an excellent try in the bottom corner.<br/>The visitors seemed to be on the rampage and a further unconverted try in the corner by their right wing reduced the arrears to 31 – 15.<br/>However, despite some enterprising play by both teams in the last five minutes there was no further score with Narberth getting the result which they needed.<br/>The Otters are at home again next week for the final league fixture of the season and if they get a win against Maesteg Quins they will be the winners of the Championship (West) Division.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
