Booth’s a happy hooker for rampant Quins
Carmarthen Q22 RGC 1404 ……….6
HOOKER Dom Booth was the unlikeliest of hat-trick heroes for Quins.
RGC had no answer to their forward muscle as three drive-over tries cemented their place in the top-half of the table. Some early pressure from RGC led to a penalty that Billy McBryde thumped over.
Quins outside-half Jack Wilson levelled the scores before their pack began to turn the screw on the North Walians.
They asserted their dominance midway through the first half as they shunted a short-range lineout over the line for Booth to claim his first.
Wilson converted but not before RGC lock Robin Williams was sent to the sin-bin for attempting to haul down the maul.
McBryde cut the lead with a penalty before centre Tom Hughes was shown yellow to leave the visitors with 13 men.
Wilson sent the kick deep into the corner again and watched an exact replica of the first score play out as Booth was pushed over the line for 15-6 at half-time.
Quins head coach Emyr Phillips had shown he had the formula to grind down RGC, and he watched on with glee as Booth completed his hat-trick with a copy of his previous scores.
