Nantgaredig moved into second place in the league after this win against Penybanc although other teams have games in hand. Early pressure resulted in the back row combining with Gavin Orson carrying and releasing Tom Eldred to charge twenty metres and score the opening try.  When Nantgaredig failed to capitalise on a number of first half penalty awards this allowed Penybanc to lift their game and pressure the home side within sight of their own try line. Nantgaredig's defensive line held out as it did for the remainder of the game.

Some keen words were given to the Nantgaredig team by coaches Derek Thomas and Mike King at half time resulting in an improved performance whilst the opposition continued to be penalised from infringements and ill discipline. The win was secured with a try by second row Carwyn Davies and a superb individual effort from the half way line by wing forward Rhydian Davies. Man of the match Meirion Davies kicked three penalties and two conversions. Next week Nantgaredig are away at Bettws.
