Today's results

WRU Specsavers National League 2 West

ATHLETIC 22 MILFORD HAVEN 13

Two days of rain free weather had allowed any surface water to recede, providing a pristine playing surface for today's game.

The Red & Blacks welcomed third placed Mariners to Athletic Park for a competitive physical encounter. Four penalty efforts were missed in the first twenty minutes, two by Athletic outside half Tom Gravell and similarly two efforts by his opposite number Zac-France-Miler for Milford. Athletic forced the Mariners back into their 22 where some erratic loose passing by the defensive threequarters led to an opportunist try pounced upon by Tom  Gravell, Liam Price failed with the conversion attempt. Ten minutes later, some good phases of play saw home centre Dan Davies crash over for Athletic's second try. Liam Price added the extra's to extend the lead 12-0. The visitors struck next with a penalty by Zac-France-Miler to cut the deficit to 12-3 at the interval.

The first 25 minutes of the second half belonged territorially to the home side, during which flanker Carwyn Thomas added a third try which was converted by Liam Price. Milford responded by pressing hard in Athletic's half and they were duly rewarded with a second France-Miler penalty. Play fluctuated between both halves of the field until Liam Price added another penalty to extend the lead to 22-6. The last ten minutes saw the Mariners pile on the pressure in the Red & Blacks 22 with a succession of penalties awarded. With time running out, tap & go was the order of the day and they were finally rewarded with a last minute consolation penalty try. Final score 22-13.
