Llanelli Town 10, Penybont 1
A resounding win for a much-changed Llanelli side at Penrhos School maintained the pressure on the League leaders...writes a roving reporter...The hosts got off to the perfect start when Kev Bartley pounced to give his side an early lead. Penybont equalised with a superb strike from outside the area from Neal Bartlett, but any hopes they had of getting something from the game evaporated within 30 minutes as the Reds took a 5-1 lead, through McClarnan and another 3 from the devastating Bartley. The second half continued in the same vein with another hat-trick for serial scorer Neil ‘Willy’ Williams, and McClarnan completed his hat-trick with two excellent headed goals. A crowd-pleasing final goal came from Barrie Williams with an exquisite cushioned volley over the goal keeper.
