CEFNEITHIN 10 LLANDYBIE 0 Llandybie travelled to wind and rain swept Cefneithin for yet another local derby. Llandybie were hoping to shrug off the heavy defeat to Nantgaredig the week before. The early exchanges were littered with mistakes and knock ons in the atrocious conditions. With water pooling on the pitch it was doubtful if the match would be completed. Cefn missed a penalty after fifteen minutes and Rhys Evans pushed the visitors way upfield with a huge kick. Llandybie were making ground but the ball was like a bar of soap and passes were dropped. The Cefn centre was yellow carded for a high tackle but Llandybie could not profit from the extra man. Lyndon Davies was a big loss with a back injury replaced by Mike Tench. Jordan Tommason put in a big shift with good carries and numerous tackles despite carrying an injury. Dylan Parry too had a high tackle count. Llandybie full back Wayne Williams fielded a high kick and went on a mazy run, kicking ahead and outpacing the defence only for the ball to bounce into touch ten yards short of the line. Cefn made an exerted attack and scored a converted try minutes from half time. Rhydian Jones was yellow carded for dissent as he felt he had held the ball up. Half time 7 – 0. Llandybie’s backs tried to run from deep to open the game out bur Cefneithin’s defence was good and passes were dropped. With the wind behind Cefneithin had the right tactics using their big forwards driving forward pick and go’s and recycling the ball, it was eating up the time. . Llandybie’s defence was good and the hosts could not cross the whitewash again. Cefn kicked a late penalty to seal the win and were the better side in the second half. Llandybie did not offer enough big forwards to carry the ball and could not get any forward momentum to release the backs. Defensively very good but going forward a little lazy. After two defeats on the trot training is essential this week to get back to winning ways next week against Penybanc.
