Gethin Gibby, making his 50th appearance for Crymych, touched down and Phillips then added the extras to take the score to 20-10.
Jones then replied with a penalty to put Whitland back in losing bonus-point territory but a late penalty from Phillips denied them that point.
That was the end of the scoring and Crymych celebrated their sixth win in seven games. Whitland remain second from bottom in the table.
