St Clears 17 Haverfordwest 44

 

A missed penalty a piece was all there was to show for the first highly competitive fifteen minutes, before the visitors inside centre scored the first try in the corner, following some good back play which, far too easily, split the home defence.

Straight from the restart an ill advised clearance kick from the Saints full back gifted an easy try under the posts for the visitor’s number 14, which was duly converted to put the home side twelve points in front, somewhat against the run of play in what was in fact a very even contest!

A sin binning five minutes later for the visitors allowed Saints back into the game and a penalty try was the reward for their renewed efforts followed by a conversion from Chris Rodenhurst to reduce the arrears to five points.

A penalty apiece followed by a converted try for Haverfordwest, the second for their inside centre, quickly re-established their advantage however, to lead by 22 points to 10 at half time.

The first phase of the second half continued the pattern of the first half with first one side gaining the advantage then the other and it was not until twenty minutes to go, that the stalemate was broken with the visitor’s outside half scoring in the corner, only to be followed immediately by Saints outside half, Shane Morgan, scoring under the posts, converted by Rodenhurst.

At 27 points to 17 the home side were still in the game and the score reflected the closeness of the encounter but the visitors inside centre then scored a further three identical tries within minutes to make his personal try count five and his side’s seven, leaving a final score of 44 points to seventeen, with the home side wondering what they have to do prevent a worrying trend of late capitulation in the dying stages of games this year.
