Jones leads by example to fire Llandovery
Carmarthen………….. 3
Llandovery…………… 9
LLANDOVERY edged out Carmarthen Quins to claim a hard-fought win in a ferocious West Wales derby.
The Drovers pack were superb, with man-of-thematch Jack Jones leading from the front with an outstanding all-round performance.
Jack Maynard opened the scoring for the visitors from the kicking tee after Carmarthen were penalised at the breakdown.
The former Scarlets academy player soon doubled their lead with another three points with Quins pinged for not rolling away. Steffan Marshall pulled three points back for Carmarthen after Llandovery were caught offside, but that was as good as it got for the hosts as they were beaten up by a heavier
Llandovery pack who also held the upper hand at the lineout and scrums.
Carmarthen forced to play from deep which resulted in them getting smothered by a claustrophobic Llandovery defence.
Llandovery held a 6-3 lead at the interval, and after the break their forwards continued to dominate which allowed Maynard to kick two further penalties. The Drovers put the result beyond doubt when Lloyd Pike powered his way over from short range.
