​A second local derby in successive Saturdays with total contrasting weather conditions, saw the Red & Blacks come away from a first ever meeting with near neighbours St Clears with a bonus point victory.

​The visitors were rewarded for their constant pressure in the first ten minutes when wing Sion Brook crossed wide out for the first try of the match. St Clears scored a good try when a scrum on the Athletic 5m line was wheeled to reveal a large gap in the visitors defence. The conversion was successful to give the home side a slender 7-5 lead. The remainder of the half was to belong to the visitors as they crossed for a further three tries by Tom Gravell (2) & Calum Evans. Sion Brook added a conversion. The interval score was 7-22.

The second half continued in the same competitive vein with both sides looking to attack at every opportunity. A further four tries were scored, one for St Clears and three for the Athletic by Tom Gravell, Robbie Thomas & Josh Watson. Carwyn Evans added a conversion. The match was a great advert for grass roots rugby which entertained the enthusiastic crowd.

Next Saturday, the Red & Blacks welcome Pontyberem to Athletic Park for yet another local derby, kick off is 2.30pm.
